THIS Blind Man Drew Pictures Of What He Thought Different Things Looked Like But The Results Are UNTHINKABLE!

image via – youtube.com

Tommy Edison, a huge presence on YouTube where his average video gets more than 1 million views, is a film critic.  What attracts so many viewers to him is his lovely nature which is exemplified through his sense of humor, his chatty style and self-deprecating reflections.  But that’s not all…he has been blind since birth!

Born with an undeveloped optic nerve, Edison can’t literally “watch” films, but he indeed loves them. He brings an unbelievably unique point of view to his movie reviews, from a blind person’s perspective.  He “views” films through an aid for blind people known as “audio description”.

Edison is particularly discerning about how sound and music convey information. In the video below, this charming man shows us what it is to draw objects, that he only knows through his tactile experience  of them.  He talks about the difficulty of even conceptualizing something in 2D when you have never been able to see, and know everything through touch.

He is such a wonderful example for us all about how to live life to the fullest, within the constraints of our limitations.

Nobody Believed Her When She Described Her Ferret’s Nightly Ritual So She Caught THIS Unexpected Surprise!

image via – youtube.com

Ferrets like to sleep. A lot. They often nap for a good 14-20 hours each day and a few spend even more time than that nestled up in bed. They can go from running around playing one minute to passed out cold the next. Sometimes they sleep so soundly that they appear lifeless and dead. You can pick one up, gently shake it, and the disturbance won’t even wake it up.

Their impressive need for beauty sleep is what makes this video easy to understand. An adorable ferret was feeling really sleepy and found the perfect spot to doze off in; wedged up between his owner’s legs. It was there that he fell into a zen-like sleep trance, slightly tiled back and upright on his furry back paws.

He was so out of it that he didn’t stir a bit when his owner gently grasped his front paws, they just fell limply to his sides. As the seconds tick the little guy slowly starts to sink and slide downwards off his warm comfy lap-bed, before suddenly toppling over! His fall from grace was performed in the most adorable and dramatic fashion.

He appears to have seized up his arms right before falling, which makes it look like he was about to take a bow or something. It’s too stinkin’ cute! According to Yulia S, the ferrets owner who originally posted the clip on YouTube, the sleepy critter’s name is Stivinson. She wrote that he was worn out after playing with a fellow ferret friend and ended up passing out in her arms.

She added that “he is absolutely healthy and [this] did not threaten his health.” It’s clear to see how much love and adoration Yulia has for little Stivinson, and he certainly looked happy, healthy, and well taken care of. If you want to make yourself laugh and smile, check out his bedtime antics and enjoy!

He Tells His Big Pup He Can’t Have His Sandwich. The Big Baby Proceeds To Throw a Hysterical Tantrum

image via – facebook.com

In this hysterical video, Dinky the Great Dane throws a tantrum because his daddy, Ron, won’t give up his egg sandwich. It looks so delicious, and Dinky loves eggs so much. He doesn’t hold anything back as he lets his dad know just how he feels about the situation! In response, dad uses logics, “You didn’t even eat your own food, why do you want mine?” to which Dinky repeatedly replies, “I love you!” It is a respectable and exceptionally effective move!

The situation eventually becomes too much for his brother, Romeo, who jumps up and performs a perfect sad puppy routine that no human, no matter how strong, would be able to resist. In a feat of indelible persistence, Dinky and Romeo finally manage to break down dad’s defenses and manage to get a little piece of that sweet and tasty egg sandwich action. But, the real winner in this story is their little brother Peanut!

While his brothers were losing their minds over the dire situation, he played it cool and let them do all the work. He made sure to stay close by, however, so that when the inevitable payout commenced, he would get his fair share. Whereas Dinky got paid for his incredible vocal skills, and Romeo for his amazing sad eye performance, Peanut garners his wages through sheer conniving intelligence! Well played, Peanut, well played…

They Lost All Their Belongings In Their House Because Of THIS One Social Media Post!

image via – youtube.com

British couple Mark Higgins and Becky Szenk had a beautiful baby girl, and made a decision to move closer to Mark’s place of work, having bought a new pub. Wanting to find a mover quickly, Becky went on Facebook, where she came across a company owned by a man named Lee Green.

After speaking with him, she was impressed, and set up a moving date for his men to pick up their belongings. On the moving day, Mark and Becky were further impressed with the movers’ efficiency; within 45 minutes the truck was packed and ready to go to their new home.

They told the men they couldn’t get over how quickly they had packed up; one of the movers explained that they had multiple jobs to get to that day. The couple were waiting at their new flat for the movers to arrive, when they began to be concerned.

An hour later when they hadn’t arrived they knew something was wrong…it was! Lee Green and his moving company did not exist. They turned out to be a Facebook moving scam, whose chief goal was to steal people’s money and belongings.

In under an hour Mark and Becky had paid for all their worldly goods to be stolen! They and their baby girl were left with absolutely nothing; not even a stitch of clothing. In the video you are about to watch below you will hear them interviewed about what happened.

They are desperately trying to put their lives back together, thankful for the donations of strangers. Their sentimental belongings can never be replaced, and they have learned a very painful, yet valuable lesson when it comes to the dangers of the internet, and the need to get references from people you know.

If You Keep Your Eyes On This Black Dot For Long Enough Prepare To Have Your Mind Blown!

image via – youtube.com

If you can’t believe your eyes, you may be looking at an optical illusion. That’s because optical illusions, by definition, are images or sights that strongly disagree with physical reality. When we suddenly realize that not all is as it appears to be, our brains light up and we pay extra attention to whatever it is that’s playing tricks on us.

Since it is our brains that interpret and make sense of all the incoming sights, we often love looking at optical illusions because they’re new challenges for us to take on and figure out. According to Aude Oliva, a cognitive research scientist at MIT, “Anything that is new and surprising is something we naturally like because it means that we may learn something from it.”

It’s no wonder so many of us enjoy illusions, and this one here is no exception! The video features a black and white image of Dunstanburgh Castle, a centuries old fort located on the sea coast of northern England. The directions that accompany the clip tell you exactly how to view the picture and all it requires is that you stare at the dot in the middle of the screen.

As the picture changes from black and white to color, and then back to black and white, your eyes will have a hard time keeping up with it. The cones in the retina of our eyes are responsible for color vision, but when you stare at the bright false color image that the picture switches to, they quickly become desensitized.

That’s why, when the black and white castle appears for the second time, it looks to be in full color. It is because our cones are still briefly sending color signals to our brain and need time to readjust to the new color scheme. After a few seconds they should have re-adjusted and you’re back to seeing the black and white castle.

Here’s a little background information about the interesting visual phenomenons we experience. When it comes to optical illusions, they are all about the eyes, brain, and perception. Specifically, the eyes visually perceive an image which the brain then processes as not fitting in line with or matching the stimulus source that it’s emanating from.

In other words, it’s when you look at something and end up seeing something else that’s completely different. You look at X but think you’re seeing Y. Generally speaking, there are many different types of illusions and optical ones, also known as visual illusions, happen to be the most well known sub-category. To experience one right now, check out the video.

It’s a fun way to fool your senses so have fun and enjoy!

This Tattoo Is Showing Up Everywhere. THIS Is What It Means..

image via – youtube.com

It is hard to believe that, in this day and age, sexslavery is still alive and thriving in the United States.  Thousands of vulnerable women are made prisoners by pimps, who force them into slavery.  They are left penniless, dependent on their captors financially and for the drugs with which they are forcibly addicted.

These women are hopeless and terrified, rarely daring to escape for fear that they will be killed.  These monsters who make their lives a living hell, actually brand the women like cattle, with tattoos that may say: “Property of…” or a crown with the pimps name.

In the video you are about to watch below, you will hear a CNN interview with a victim and survivor of this horrible practice, Jennifer Kempton.  In telling her story she talks about these tattoos which became a constant reminder of her former tortured life.

The crown was used to symbolize one of the pimps that owned her, “King Munch”.  As Jennifer began to recover and try to build a new life, she found her tattoos that branded her the property of her pimps, an unbearable reminder of her slavery.

After covering the pimp tattoos which she said were “a psychological form of bondage”, she began to feel less shackled by her past.  Her relief inspired her to start an organization, “Survivor’s Ink” to raise money for other women to cover the visible scars of their slavery.  Their new tattoos are now symbols of their freedom from from their captors.

Many people are not as lucky as Jennifer.  If you ever see someone with a crown tattoo they are probably suffering in a dark world, and need help.  The fact that women are being bought and sold daily in the United States, is a horrifying fact that needs to be brought to light.
