Editor's note: If you also like weird documentaries, welcome to bookmark this column.

I am slow to heat up, and I am an optimistic pessimist; I hate socializing, but I am absolutely social when it comes to socializing; I can throw up on a pirate ship, but watching others climb snow-capped mountains and fly in extreme sports late at night will be very exciting; I can go all the way for a delicious meal, but myself He never cooks; he reads the big report on the air crash on the plane, and eats the horror case when he eats. He is an atypical "giant of thinking, dwarf of action". For many years, I have survived by relying on those weird documentaries.

In the first year of falling in love with documentaries, real events and real people were the only driving force for me to open them. I firmly believe that watching more documentaries can improve my cognition, reduce my empathy ability, and reshape my cold rational genes. Unfortunately, after watching documentaries for many years, my empathy ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the frequency of inner madness is also increasing day by day, and I am getting closer and closer to daily ignorance.

During this period, I gradually felt that the recorded video was not "real", it greatly surpassed the imagination of life, and ruthlessly complained about the screenwriter's script, which was evidence that God skipped work but did not destroy it in time. Watching special subjective records again and again creates an illusion that we are the closest to reality. As Kant said, we only have perceptual intuition, not rational intuition.

If you happen to be bored and have time to daze, why not watch such a strange and interesting documentary? There are my bad tastes in the film list. I don’t expect to attract similar people through it. Sometimes watching it may cause physical or mental discomfort. Anyway, good luck!

Dr. Pimple Popper

It's cool to see the name, isn't it?

After reading it, it's even more cool!

This cool film is especially suitable for patients with moderate to severe obsessive-compulsive disorder who usually like to watch videos of machine cutting and horseshoe cutting.

The title of the documentary "The Acne Squeeze Master" is "Squeeze Acne", which actually squeezes lumps and tumors. As the name suggests, it is either a super big "acne", or the way it appears surprises you.

For example, this kind.

There is also this kind.

The size of acne does not depend on the size of the face. Open the pattern and give you a scalpel, it can also be as big as the earth!

The protagonist is such a living Bodhisattva - dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee. Dr. Li is especially good at solving skin problems such as cysts and lipomas. Every time it is a rejuvenation, most of the patients come with years of resentment and go out vigorously.

The super "big pox" contains all kinds of warmth and coldness in the world.

For example, this mother suffers from the three most difficult-to-treat skin diseases. Her wish for many years is not to reject her children, but to get close to her children and play with them.

Maybe most of you are like me, always want to ask when watching: how can this dude bear with growing a bigger and bigger cyst on his body like blowing up a balloon, instead of going to the hospital?

In Dr. Li’s opinion, as far as seeing a doctor is concerned, there are mainly two types of people in this world: one kind of people, when they see a small rash on their body, they will immediately feel that it is the end of the world, and they urgently want to take care of it. Seek help from professionals to immediately relieve the alarm in your heart; another kind of person can bear a lipoma or cyst the size of a ping-pong ball and deal with it calmly for decades, and some even give their own "little partner" name.

In the film, a man is red-faced waiting to be squeezed. His acne is as big as a baby's head, and the pus is squeezed out-the man laughed and said, I will never be able to look directly at oatmeal again.

It really looks like oatmeal...

"You are so cool!"

"This problem is indeed a bit complicated. You are like winning the Mark Six lottery for skin diseases!"

"The operation was successful, do you want to see your 'little partner' again?"

Dr. Li's suturing techniques and techniques are extremely superb. What's rare is that she has a gentle tone, humor and wit, and treats "big acne" like a small dish.

The end of the film is a return visit to the patient one month later. Every patient who has been perfectly treated has a completely new look. The brilliance and confidence on the face make them look different from before.

When I was watching this documentary, I was thinking, since obsessive-compulsive disorder can be inherited or divided into genres, they can naturally heal each other. Just like my best friend often said to me, "I will pick up one hair on the ground, and I will pick up two. When there are more than five hairs on the ground, I will say, fuck it!" Married life is quite enlightening.

If you usually have skin troubles and unspeakable secrets that you are ashamed to say, then this film will be your soul's destination and self-salvation! It is strongly recommended to watch while eating, and it also helps your weight management by the way.

One-sentence comment: Where does the acne grow so that it will not be uncomfortable? other people's faces.

The Funny Side of Science

Which would cause more serious consequences, an empty beer bottle or a full beer bottle?

Why don't mosquitoes get killed by raindrops?

Breaking a piece of raw spaghetti, why is it never broken in two, but in three, four, five, six, seven, eight?

Why don't the eyeballs of woodpeckers fly out when they peck wood?

When people make decisions when they are in a hurry, are they more risky, or are they more conservative and cautious?

If I asked my mother these questions when I was young, my mother would probably be able to take a pan and pat me into a big cake.

It is strongly recommended that children can show this documentary to their parents, and then point and say: Look at others!

The thing is, since 1991, at Harvard University's Saunders Theater, there has been an award ceremony for the scientific community every year.

In this "Dancing Demons" ceremony, the awards awarded also have a special name: the Ig Nobel Prize. The Ig Nobel Prize, as the name suggests, is a satirical award. The full name Ig Nobel Prize is not only an imitation of the Nobel Prize, but also a pun on the word ignoble. Awarded annually to reward research that fits the science but looks crazy. These research themes all have one thing in common: it’s fun when you first meet them, but you still can’t forget them a week later, you only want to share them with your good friends, and you will fall into thinking after laughing.

During the awards ceremony, the winners only have one minute to say thank you. If it takes more than one minute, the 8-year-old girl in charge of monitoring will shout: "Please stop! I'm so annoying!"

During the award ceremony, the audience will continue to throw paper airplanes on the stage, and all the time, the paper airplanes on the stage are swept away by special personnel.

What is particularly interesting is that in 2005, Roy Glauber, who swept away the paper airplanes on the stage every year, was absent for the first time because he became the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Awards ceremony.

The prize for winning the crown is Zimbabwean currency worth 10 trillion (about 15 cents), a cheap and super-designed trophy, made of mobile phone + toothbrush + coffee cup + cigarette + chewing gum stuck together. Although the prizes seem shabby, the finalists are all the research results of a group of scientists who are "serious", and are awarded by the Nobel Prize winners themselves!

The 2022 Physics Prize was awarded to: Why do ducklings line up to paddle?

Through calculation and verification, Frank found that as long as a suitable distance is maintained, the ducklings following the mother can reduce wave resistance and swim forward with less energy. Each duckling not only enjoys the benefits of less effort in paddling, but is also able to pass this effect on to the next duckling down the line.

The literary award was awarded to: Why don't legal documents speak human language?

The recipients were Eric Martinez, Francis Mollica and Edward Gibson, who worked together to analyze what makes legal documents difficult to understand.

"A Field Investigation of Gu Poison in Western Hunan"

More than ten years ago, you could always watch a lot of wonderful folk customs documentaries in CCTV's "Witness" column "Discovery Journey". magic.

This episode of the program, as the title suggests, conducted on-the-spot investigations and visited many so-called "wizards". The reason I like this program is that they don't define or ask questions for the sake of suspense, but really capture the substantive content.

In the Miao area of Xiangxi, people generally divide Gu art into poisonous Gu and love Gu. Poison Gu is passed on to women but not to men. White Gu, used to find a daughter-in-law and mediate the relationship between husband and wife.

Note the last sentence!

In the interview, the male wizard also specially emphasized "the character of the wizard", and it is not that everyone is a sensuality guru. Gu is to put a wooden stick on the road that the girl must pass, and then cast a spell. As long as the girl steps over the wooden stick, the man will catch up and pat the girl on the shoulder three times, and then the man will say "you want to go home with me" or something like that. If you do, the girl will definitely go home with you!

What's the difference between this... and patting Hanako?

When interviewing the village owner and his two wives, he was confused about the issue of love gu, the director was not reconciled, and asked again the same as the transcript. This part of the love Gu can also be called "The Mystery of the Village Master's Second Wife".

From the current point of view, if this paragraph of content is put on the Internet, it may cause an uproar about women's issues.

Looking back at this documentary now, I still feel that the reporter's questions are of a high level.

"Is there a Gu woman first and then a Taoist priest from Meishan who can dispel Gu, or is it that Taoist priests from Meishan can dispel Gu first?"

The Miao culture researcher replied: "These two things complement each other, and they are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other!"

In addition, the documentary recorded in detail several passages of the process of dispelling Gu, what props the wizard has, how to display them, and how to use them. The reporter also chased after him and asked out six spells.

People said it was a secret, and he asked about it, but they also said that every wizard's spell is different, which means that if you remember the spell, it has no magic power, and it is useless!

There were a lot of documentaries in the sinking minority areas back then, and it was much more interesting and vivid to understand the culture of a nation when paired with documentary reportage.

The program group concluded at the end: I don’t know if it’s for the development of tourism or a gimmick, but the investigation of love gu to find a wife shows that it doesn’t exist. For the reliability of the investigation, the filming team went to Yunnan, and the method was similar with minor differences. The cultural gender antagonism formed during the process of matriarchy being replaced by patriarchy is manifested in witchcraft beliefs. Male wizards have become the party to maintain social order, and all natural and man-made disasters that male wizards cannot explain are all blamed on witches... …

One sentence comment: Gu is a demagogic Gu!

Kings of Pain

Welcome to the first part of the "Why Are There So Few Foreigners" series.

The basic wish of ordinary human beings is that it doesn't matter if you die, don't make me hurt!

But this documentary is to study what hurts you the most when it bites you...

Seriously, Australian wildlife biologist and presenter Adam Thorn and his partner Rob Caveman Alleva filmed the documentary "Kings of Pain" for the History Channel, specifically Take pictures of the scenes after being bitten by various dangerous animals and insects to obtain relevant data on pain after being bitten by animals. Of course, there will be timely medical assistance throughout the process.

The process of watching the two brothers die is suitable for clenching your fists, holding your breath, and then try to turn down the sound as low as possible, because you will often hear the continuous screams of the two hosts.

I especially admired the person who was bitten in the second challenge. After all, he had to grit his teeth and fight without fear when he saw the person grinning his teeth and spurting blood profusely.

The pair developed a 30-point pain scale to measure the intensity, duration and damage of bites, such as the bullet ant's pain index, which is listed as four, the highest scale for insects. The sting of being bitten by a bullet ant is like driving a three-inch nail into your heel and walking on burning charcoal.

And the Executioner Hornet is very murderous just by hearing its name. Twice the size of a normal wasp, with a 4mm long tail needle, I’m afraid I’m going back to Dafan Mountain when I get the needle, and this guy will release venom when it stings, and the cytotoxin can survive in the human body. For a few days, not only will it be accompanied by severe pain, but the surrounding tissues will also fester.

What is it like to be bitten by a 5-meter-long reticulated python? Although it has a slender body, its winding force and bite force are amazing. Its jaw can open up to 180 degrees, and it can easily eat creatures bigger than its own head...

In addition to these, there are bark scorpions and lionfish, velvet ants and Nile monitor lizards, paederus and fire sea urchins, giant Asian centipedes and other frightening and terrifying creatures.

One-sentence comment: I finally have an immersive understanding of why Sun Dasheng always goes to the sky to rescue soldiers!
