After waking up, I watched a video of two cats fighting and screaming for a couple of minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEvvRfuVk30 The video has 8 million views. Out of all the activities and experiences that our modern world offers, 8 million viewers still chose to watch two cats fighting ... Why ? Projects like these make me both happy and scared - happy, because life is so good that people have nothing bet…

I posted a 9 second video of me pushing a coke can over a table making a sound that's similar to Chewbacca ( https://youtu.be/myhYNsRXYgs ) a few days ago. So far it's been seen 750.000 times on youtube and about 3.000.000 times on facebook. This is about 416 days worth of people watching this video (wasting time). However, I think it is the wrong perspective to take. People do all sorts of "seemingly" non-productive…

Haha, to bring in another psychology principle, after watching that I watched it again with my eyes closed. Definitely does not sound like Chewbacca unless you have the visual of Chewbacca in your mind making it easy for my mind to connect the memory of Chewbacca to aluminium dragging on a surface.

Haha, I've actually seen that video last week or so on reddit and said "uh oh, nice" :)..

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If we consider Wales separately then I think it would beat NZ on density. A quick search suggests 8.9M sheep in Wales[1], around 430s/km^2 , NZ is only about 120s/km^2. Per capita though NZ beats Wales, and probably any other country. [1] http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/sheep-lamb-popu...

Seeing that they use google streetview I think we need a metric of sheep per road kilometer.

That's remarkably close but NZ edges it. I make it about: Wales: 250s/km NZ: 330s/km

I could never watch a video like that. I'd feel like I was invading their privacy.

Out of curiosity, how much ad revenue has that video generated for you?

Ha, nice, a saw that on Reddit when it got popular there. Fun to watch something blow up you created, no matter how trivial it may seem.

Yeah it's been a fun learning experience. Still going strong but not as much as when it hit the front page of reddit.
