I think it's just an artifact of the frame rate of the camera... They look to be on the rod at a point off from their centre of gravity so as the rod is pulled off the table they start to rotate and the frame rate is strobing to make them look weird.

It's a bunch of key blanks on a rod. They swing back and forth as he pulls them off the side. Since he is pulling slowly, they don't swing in sync. The first ones began to swing back while new ones leading the table swing opposite. So it looks like a unified thing moving in a strange way

Hippos aren't actually that fat because they live in warm water they don't need a thick layer. They only look all rounded because they have 2" thick skin. Hippos are literally a giant ball of muscle and anger wrapped in armor.

The hippo can touch the bottom and the lions can’t. He’s running through the water that fast, which…

Dont hippos kill more people than any other mammal in the world? Not including humans or like, indirect deaths from illness or whatever.

Yeah they kill 500 people a year. They're the most dead mammal. And they're aggressive to humans.

Way more than lions.

Allegedly about 18% of a hippo’s body weight is skin. If it's a 2000 kg hippo, that's 360 kg of skin. That is definitely classifiable as armor.

If you didn't know what a hippo looked like, you'd think it was a savage monstrosity based on its skull. The sort of thing you'd fight in one of the Monster Hunter games.

I’m sure only a very, very small percentage of that is venomous snails actually killing people. That chart is invalid anyway because infecting people with disease doesn’t count. I challenge a mosquito without any pathogens to kill me before I kill it

Yeah, if Mosquitos get to have Malaria and whatever other poo poo included in their total then Humans should have a bunch of infectious diseases included in ours, at which point Humans come out on top by a mile.
