I love how many youtubers acknowledge that we fall asleep to them.
Holy shit it’s the brain for the the hit show Pinky and the Brain
i have weirdly enough NEVER fallen asleep in front of my PC while watching CZcams or anything else. i always leave for my Bed or at worst my Couch when i get really tired. it just happens automatically.
It is nice to fall asleep while listening
OMFG exactly!!!
@@zerrierslizer1 I have a laptop I put next to my bed for listening to things while I sleep. I have tinnitus so I don't like the silence.

Theory: The "extremely flammable water" can is intentional. It is a can for gasoline or kerosine, but by coloring it blue and writing WATER STORAGE on it, the manufacturer can escape legal requirements to put a locking safety spout on it. These spouts prevent dangerous spills, but annoy the living crap out of many people since they're a lot harder to operate than a simple spout and the mechanism can jam.
That, or the gas can itself is 'extremely flammable', and thus shouldn't be used to store gasoline/etc. There are pyrophilic plastics.
gasoline itself is actually not flammable. it's the fumes that are flammable.
@@Femaiden The fumes are actually gasoline so yes it is.
@@ShadowRulah Flammable
It clearly states. Never use gasoline kerosene or diesel to start a fire. this is great advice I had a neighbor burn his whole arm neck and face where he looks like darth vader. the gas can explode when ignited. even if the advice is on a water jug,.. it may be inappropriately used by someone whose not so smart. so its great place for the advice. its really smart.

This is taxonomy if you didn't know. Its all 4 orders under the Reptilia class.
The 4 orders are:
Squamata (Lizards, Snakes, and amphibians)
Crocodilia (Obviously Crocodiles and Alligators)
Testudines (Turtles and Tortoises)
And Spenodontia (Lizards)
I'm super into taxonomy which is why I immediately recognized this (well after figuring out how to read the text)
Edit: Just quickly fixing some grammar mistakes
Sphenodontia are not lizards but the tuatara
two fixes:
1. Squamata does include lizards and snakes, but not amphibians. They are a totally different class
2. Spenodontia does not have lizards, lizards are exclusive to squamata. The only living representative of sphenodontia is the tuatara, an ancient reptile from new zealand
@@harulddenvise That was the one I couldn't get a translation for. At least I recognised enough to know it was Latin lol. It's been a very long time since I studied it. I did recognise the other three, probably from nature programmes.
I noticed crocodilia and test. lol but i was stumped on the rest.
Thank you, I couldn't figure out what it was trying to say
16:54 That is a fire hydrant about half buried in the track, Lexi.
I like chicken on a cone more so that's a chicken on a cone now to me XD thanks Lexi
He said chicken on a cone and i can't unsee it. But yes. A fire hydrant. Lol

Emkay: *we always know.*
I love the "suggestibility warning" 3:32 as Lexi tries to stop the sleep-Walker horde of zombie urinators from peeing in their closet.
14:18 these are all classifications for the animal kingdom- specifically “reptiles” or the likes of. It’s Sphenodontia (tuataras), Testudines (turtles), Crocodilia (crocodilians), and Squamata (scaled reptiles).
Fun fact- Tuataras are the only two species of their classification and aren’t actually lizards despite looking like them- their signature trait is possessing a third eye.
Cool!
And I like the fact!

@@amaryllisnightingale6309 looks like it’s on the side of a building- a museum or zoo exhibit maybe?
7:25 The "Cooling Off" option may be for if you need to defrost the refrigerator to clear out frozen messes/ice formations. Saves energy and helps not having to unplug the entire unit.
Along with maybe cleaning the unit, since you don't want to waste power on trying to cool it with the door open. Maybe?
"Do not go into your closet right now, And use it as a bathroom, it is not a bathroom, this a dream, you're still listening to an emkay video" 😂😂😂 I love Lexi! She sounds so concerned haha

16:50 "What is that supposed to be in the left lane? It looks like a chicken."
That's...a fire hydrant
but now I'm thinking A) of fire hydrants in the design of chickens lol, and B) Shanghai intended the hydrant to be a _really_ unsafe hurdle
i always LOVE and admire Lexi's optimism. Like she sees something in TiHi, Mildy or here and her first thought is, "maybe it's a misunderstanding. Let's fix it!" And i think that's very sweet~ ♥

@14:00 It is vertical and animal scientific names.
Squamata = Lizards
Crocodilia = Crocodiles.
Teststudine = Turtles
Sphenodonts = Tuataras (Related to lizards)
Tuatara just be doing their own thing lol
2:50 oh that is not just crappy design, that is hostile architecture. It's intentionally made so as to make sure you cannot shelter under it, and discourages homeless people sleeping there
Wait. You mean that was done just for that purpose? 🤨
@@christina113704 I'm afraid so 😞 just like countless cases of hostile architecture installations that have popped up all over the world, this thing is useful only if you're not sleeping there-- have you ever wondered why park benches exist nowadays with ridged dividers in the middle? They're the ones that look like ways to designate sitting areas for multiple people, but really constrain it so a single homeless person can't lie across it at night
9:24 Don't worry Lexi, it's not your eyes this time. We can't read it either.
It also looks like it is microwave safe 😂😂😂
Im kidding just Incase anyone thinks im serious
I can see ⨂ but that's about it

I want to own a nightclub in that building. Just imagine: a bar/nightclub with a out-of-normal-reality aesthetic, called L I M I N A L.
In the lobby~
Receptionist: How may I help you?
Patron: Howdy! So I heard about a cool nightclub here, called Liminal. What floor is it on?
Receptionist: *doesn't look up* Negative two-and-a-half.
Patron: I- I'm sorry...?
Receptionist: *locks eyes, deadpan* Negative two-and-a-half.
Wanna know what I think would be a good motto for that nightclub?
You never said it
I suffer from anxiety, and trying to sleep without noise is torture, the voices on my mind say bad things.
These videos make me concentrate on funny stuff until I fall asleep.
Thanks for mention it.
Anyway, in the morning I watch the whole video again, because I really like them, so...
The ‚half’ on the elevator buttons probably refer to split levels. Perfectly normal and yet ugly thing in architecture. It’s used to overcome differences in topography or if you want to increase the ceiling hight in certain parts of the building - or if you just want to be unnecessarily fancy
One or two split levels at the bottom of the building would make sense, but -2.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 is madness
@@LilacMonarch i think what happened is that the building has doors every half of a level. So i assume the stair go half a level up, then there are doors and goes half a level up into the other direction, where are again doors. Or one part of the building is older than another or whatever. maybe on the ground there are some business like a cinema that take up 2-3 levels of space at once or some oversized hallways in a bank or sth.
@@LilacMonarch some department stores will do this so the bottom 2 floors are larger “show room” style areas with higher ceilings then the upper floors have 1/2 floors to separate departments. -2 1/2 doesn’t make much sense but the other ones aren’t that insane.
-2 1/2 could be for a parking garage situation where it’s only a half floor but 🤷🏻♀️
@@LilacMonarch The presence of a keypad above those half buttons tells me it's a two-sided elevator (doors on both sides)
The rear doors go to employee-only areas, and the buttons only respond after a code is entered.
i'm just wondering why the building has no 2nd or 3rd floor. . .it has 0, which i assume is "ground floor", 1 and then skips 2 and 3 and goes to 4.
then on the "split" side, it has -2.5 and then it jumps to 4.5.
i assume the "negative" levels are the basement levels, often referred to as "B1", "B2", but then there's just -1 and then -2.5. where is -2?
6:00 No, see, this is the new kind of elevator that can take you to any place inside Willy Wonka's factory _and_ those strange floors between floors like in the "Being John Malkovich" movie. It also somehow takes you to any apartment staircase that you have a tag or code for. Pretty clever, but it has one of those "It will take you wherever you want, if you're not too picky" catches to it.

Bear Grylls: Wanna bet?
14:22 reading vertically, translated from scientific speak: Reptile, reptile, crocodile, scaled reptile.
i was searching for the comment that knew, thank you
It's more accurately read as "tuatara, turtles, crocodilians, reptiles".
Oh right Lexi’s eyes. That “chicken on top of a cone” is a fire hydrant... right in the middle of one of the lanes
14:14 They’re Reptile orders, Lexi. It’s Latin. Sphenodontia (Tuataras), Testudines (turtles), Crocodilia (crocodilians), and Squamata (snakes and lizards)
YES! I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else knew this :)

Fun times in this house.
At 1:40, I am proud to not only live in that city, but be able to walk around and see crappy design like that. Just go walking in Auckland and you will see what I mean. I spotted 3 the other day when walking at local beach
children don't count as crappy design
@@comradekatyusha what are you talking about
Oh yeah, they always forget to double-check signage
I mean, i'm not from auckland but around where i live (In the north island still) there's a bunch of store signs missing letters at the end/have spelling mistakes lmao
14:05 it's basically telling you which animals there are, I'm guessing? Sphenodontia are tuataras, Testudines are turtles and Crododila are crocodiles. I don't know what the last one means, but I think that's what it could be.
Be right back im gona google it
Ok i just googled it
Squamata - Wikipedia
Squamata is the largest order of reptiles, comprising lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians .
3:39 It feels strange they know I‘m watching this to sleep
I like how lexi explains the issue and how it can be fixed
11:53 don't you also hate when you are piping macarons and they turn into chocolate chip cookies in the oven
16:50 You know Lexi's eyes are bad when something that's obviously a fire hydrant is mistaken for a chicken
Thanks for making my day Lexi!
@Zeka Nova STOP BOT
12:56 It's a seeing eye exam. Occasionally you'll see ones where anyone who has tried to read an eye exam... (chart? Poster, with letters.) as if it read out to actually say something, might get a giggle out of it. I guess. It's just poorly made out due to bad spacing and too many words/letters. That's my guess.
Lexi’s survival tip for the water is top teir “This will either go perfectly or horribly, there is no middle ground.”
I just started rewatching EmKay videos cause I just remembered they exist.
Was bingeing different playlists, and my favorite ones are Lexi's(No offense Jack, Robin. You are both amazing as well!)
So I saw this and cheered.
Can't wait to watch!
Coming back to this channel after one friend coming out as trans, one friend coming out as NB, joining my school's Gay Straight Alliance, realizing that even as a cis person, I can still be equally as chill with any pronouns(-he/him), coming closer to figuring out my sexuality, and, sadly, loosing a friend.
Me and some of her close friends gave her family a Christmas gift today.
Felt good.
Now I get to chill and watch this!
Have a great day/night, everyone, and Happy Holidays! Whether you celebrate the solstice, Kwanzaa, Hanukka, Christmas, or anything else!

6:34 Lexi : "There's a negative two and a half!?"
Me : there isn't 1 to 3 floors lol
17:42 YES! My sister is a graphic designer and when C0vid hit, she (like everyone else) was trying to find a job from home. Our mom was helping her. She told my sister about a place called Pinch A Penny. (It’s a pool supply shop in our city) And my sister was SO MAD at their name & their logo, she literally refused to go into the store then emailed them and said she’d make them a new logo for $20. She was THAT worked up about how terrible their design is. (Which as a fellow graphic designer, I admit it’s pretty pathetic) They never got back to her & we all say they’re salty that she legit said “your logo is pointless and kept me from knowing what your store even is. You need help with it if you actually wanna bring in customers, especially during a damn pandemic in Fl summer heat” before offering her $100+ services for a cheap $20. You gotta love your siblings during their kindest and bluntest moments cuz damn, are they entertaining! 😂
3:30 lol Lexi called me out. I love ending my day with Emkay
9:31 looking at how old that label is, I would say that this used to simply be black text on white fabric, and that the white fabric simply discolored over the amount of times the black garment was washed. That's not crappy design; that's wear and tear.
(And it's just the standard label telling you to not dry clean it, iron at low temperature, and so on.)
It doesn’t look worn enough to have been white, but it could have been black text on a grey tag
Edit: I mean unless those jeans let out a lot of colour, I guess a white tag could technically be discoloured after one wash

2:all the reading makes me fall asleep
Ashens' Couch ????? really ???!!!! Oh Lexi, I'm now crushin' hard, but we both have lives, just know that there is love for you out in the cold cruel world.
Lexi those are classifications for animals.
Testudines- turtles tortoises
Crocodilia- crocodiles alligators
Sphenodontia- the New Zealand tuatara lizard
Squamata- scaled reptiles e.g.: snakes and scaled lizards, meaning all lizards except for newts and salamanders, which have skin.
Hope this helps.
the thing in the left lane of the running track is clearly a fire hydrant. The "chicken feet" is the steel chain keeping people from messing with it.
Lol i watched this like 3 months ago and at the time thought "who tf falls asleep to youtube vids", but now i can't sleep without em
I blame Lexi for my strange new desire to make a snow-luigi for this winter, even tho i know i have none to the skills to build one and it would most likely fall apart.

7:07 the fridge at my Nana's house has the same adjustment layout. We just don't touch it ever lol
9:18 "If he shrugs, the whole country has to do math again." That one cracked me up
I can die happy knowing Lexi watches Ashens
15:42 i think there should be a sub-genre of modern art that's similar to the Found Object theme to describe this kind of home design failure (and i thought our house with power sockets placed UPSIDE DOWN in the kitchen were the strangest instances of r/NotMyJob 9_9)
5:47 this almost made me choke on me noodles lol 🤣

"You get is what Sweat what you." Never have truer words been spoken.
6:20 or maybe like a clinic here is set up, the front doors go to the main floors and the back doors go to the floors that only like 6 feet up. it's not a whole new story but it's on a different level. so you do have floor 1 and floor 1 1/2

7:23 you can turn off cooling on most modern refrigerators because it's a demonstration mode. essentially it's cheaper to make all of them the exact same, the store just pulls one, plugs it in and puts it in demonstration mode so it's completely functional in every other way, it just wont cool down (it also allows them to sell the floor model).
Had the weirdest moment of brain failure, and had to reread this twice… But, yeah, it makes sense.
The half may also refer to a "Half level" FE in a parking garage with offset floors or, as some buildings I've been to do, the platform halfway down a staircase.
Yes I have been to buildings where the elevators are behind the stairs. :)
I've seen that one at 5:55
as in, irl
see it at least once a month

Oh my goodness, I thought I had been the only one who specifically chooses an EmKay video to fall asleep to! That's too funny.
Hey, thanks for looking out for me, I almost took a leak in my closet
If you can't handwash it, and it does get washed, you probably need an autoclave, not a dishwasher!
Edit: The elevator at 6:10 probably has doors on both sides, which is also why the "half floors" are all on one side. Basically it got jammed in between two wings of a building that were built at different heights.
