    Fascinating. Doesn't seem much of a breakfast for a big and active man; not enough calories...

    The original video came from a YouTube cannel called Steve1989MREInfo; which features many other military rations.

    I have to say I might actually be convinced this is the real deal here. One is always careful though to try and factor in as many plausible alternatives there may be such as an alternative light source from somewhere, that may in some way have become reflected, and therefore creating an illusion. However, this time around, I rather think this may be a genuine instance. It's at least compelling viewing:



    “If a man does not keep pace with [fall into line with] his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Thoreau

    Log floating is one of two main methods of timber transport. Floating logs down river helps maintain their moisture content, reduces the chance of insect infestation and minimize cracking during storage and processing.

    New Mercedes Badass Car
    Ha. Some of the YT comments...
    • Nothing screams ‘sustainability’ like a multimillion dollar concept car built for press photos and parked in a showroom under 500 watts of lighting
    • Can’t wait until 3 people from Dubai own this
    • People thought the future would be flying cars by the year 2000. What we got is LEDs
    • Price starts at ten million and 30% of your soul for a down payment
    • Good luck getting insurance for that thing
    • That interior screams: "I get paid millions to do literally nothing"
    • Looks beautiful and disgusting at the same time
    • That one certain pothole in every city that's super bad, is eyeing this car right now
    • With that glass door, not only will your finances die when you crash this thing, you will die too.
    And my favourite:
    • Looking at this just makes me depressed. I wanna go back to the 90s
