SC Fair Duck Slide
ThemeParkSushi – Oct 26, 2011 – 10:38
Here’s 10 minutes of uninterrupted duck slide from the South Carolina State Fair.

First saw this in a short clip on twitbook (h/t Ace of Spades). Searched and found this. At almost eleven minutes, didn’t think we’d watch the whole thing, but we did. Love the way they run back up.

Just to clarify – I didn’t build this thing. I have absolutely nothing to do with it. It’s been part of the livestock exhibit for as long as I can remember. I shot this video to be used in a time-lapse video of the fair (check my channel and you’ll see it). Someone asked me to post the entire raw video, so I did. If you want to discuss whether or not it’s animal abuse, that’s totally cool with me. Just keep in mind that I only shot the video here. I do not personally own a duck slide.

How We Could Prevent a Global Rice Shortage

SciShow – Oct 21, 2019 – 6:05
Rice production needs to see a 50% increase by 2030 to keep up with population growth, but as the climate warms, rice plants will likely become less efficient. Fortunately, scientists are working on a pretty clever potential solution.
