With a digital video camera, some decent editing software and a healthy dose of mischievous creativity you can pretty much fake anything online these days.
Every time a legitimate homemade video goes viral and starts racking up hits by the millions on Youtube, there’s someone out there watching and taking notes on the best way to manufacture their own “candid” moments – grainy quality and shaky camera included.
If there’s one thing the Internet and Youtube have taught us, it’s that there’s no shortage of people and animals with bizarre skills and talents in this world. On the flip-side of that, there’s also no shortage of people who will risk their dignity – not to mention their very lives – just to become an Internet sensation.
All that to say, it’s getting harder and harder to tell what’s real and what’s fake these days.
Here are 5 awesome viral videos for you to weigh in on. Think they’re bogus? We’d love to hear your reason. Convinced they’re legit? We’d be curious why. But whatever you figure, you’ve got to admit - they’re pretty damn fun to watch either way.
If you’re not an adventurous eater and rarely break away from the confines of your local grocer’s, there’s a whole whack of incredible and incredibly interesting foods out there that you’re probably missing out on.
That statement rings particularly true when taking a look at the wide world of fruits and vegetables.
A lot of North Americans are so used to the standard apples, pears and oranges – with a few tropical additions like mangos and papayas thrown in from time to time – that they might take a really exotic piece of fruit for a piece of extra-terrestrial produce.
You know this to be true by the bewildered looks you may see on some shoppers’ faces if your supermarket ever gets random shipments of things like dragon fruits or horned melons.
So for everyone out there with a curious palate that’s open to new experiences, here are 3 especially unique fruits from around the world that everyone should introduce their taste buds to at least once.
