Pan kurczak says:

can't they just name all the things properly?
i mean… chlorophyll is stacked into… grana? that has lumen in it? Yes sir, and that helps in the creation of the dinglebop that is smoothed out with a bunch of shleem, and after that the shleem is pushed through the plumbo… Srsly people, name stuff properly.

Matt says:

5:31 Look on the left…it was a ghost :P

syzygy says:

Tomorrow, I have a test on…nothing because I'm an adult and don't have to go to school. I'm watching for personal enrichment.
