Fashion is a fickle beast that molds and shifts with time, spawning new styles ranging from the modest and practical to the wacky and eccentric. This video will focus on the latter, and with the birth of human civilization giving rise to social structure thousands of years ago, there are no shortage of bizarre trends throughout history! First we'll dive into the bizarre trend of a fake limp, taking after an iconic princess of the age. To follow that up, we'll explore one of the pointiest fashion trends: Crakows. Finally, we'll learn why there was a period of time where everyone was crazy for pineapples!

The Easter Rising (Rebellion) of 1916 didn't pan out the way the Irish nationalists hoped, but it laid the foundation for an independent Ireland that would come down the road. The poor planning, execution, and communication by the rebels during the rising led to an unconditional surrender only six days later, resulting in the brutal execution of 16 of the rising's leaders. What was planned to be a submitting move by Great Britain actually had the opposite effect, as the controversy of the executions only proved to foster support for Irish independence. The story is complex, fascinating, and definitely not the kind of thing you can sum up in a 5 minute comedy video. So today we're looking at some of the wackier moments from the Easter Rising of 1916.

The Wild West is one of the most iconic time periods in pop culture, making it ironic that it's also one of the most misunderstood. Hollywood paints it as a time of gunslingers, adventure, and cowboy heroes, but as often is the case, the reality is a bit more lackluster. While it was a rather violent place with high murder rates, this can be misleading as even one murder in a small population size can produce seemingly astronomical murder rates, essentially enhancing outliers in data. The truth is, the "Wild West" was a rather calm and boring time where people were much more focused on getting to the next day than robbing trains or saving damsels in distress. But while the dangers painted by Hollywood and dime novels are often over exaggerated and glamorized, that doesn't mean the region and time period was void of danger! So join me back in time to learn about the real history and dangers of the American Wild West!
