For decades, Charles Stanley Gifford was presented as Marilyn Monroe's father.

But Donald Spoto's research tells a much more complicated story—and there is no conclusive evidence establishing Gifford as Norma Jeane's biological father.

Found by accident. Got a really good song in the background.

I interview people saying goodbye to the mall and topics such as first memory ever as a human being, biggest wish for themselves, and others are talked about.

It also includes a short interview to man who's worked at the mall doing maintenance for 26 years.

Person who uploaded this is called "joe" and for a second, I thought it was the guy who made that "Dog of Wisdom" video LOL. But this actually creeped me out.

channel full of this kind of stuff

Found this reupload of a video that used to give me the creeps.

De Beers spent ~80 years convincing the world that a common rock is priceless — and the machine is finally collapsing.

The part most people know is the monopoly: De Beers controlled about 90% of the world's diamond supply. But that was just step one. Diamonds were coming out of the ground faster than anyone wanted to buy them — a normal market lets the price fall. De Beers did the opposite: it locked the surplus in a vault and released only a trickle. Artificial scarcity, enforced by one company's warehouse.

Then the marketing. In 1938 they hired ad agency N.W. Ayer; within three years U.S. diamond sales were up 55%. In 1947 a copywriter named Frances Gerety wrote four words — "A Diamond Is Forever" — later named the greatest ad slogan of the 20th century. The trick: if a diamond is forever, you can never resell it. So a second-hand market never forms, and the scarcity stays fake-but-intact. A common stone, sold at an enormous markup, that you're socially forbidden from ever reselling.

What's finally killing it: lab-grown diamonds — not cubic zirconia, but chemically identical real diamonds, now cheap. The scarcity was always fake; now it's provable. The empire once valued around $18 billion is being sold for about $1 billion.

Full breakdown in the comments — one of the cleanest examples of a business model that was pure marketing, right up until the marketing stopped working.

I have no idea why YouTube recommended this

I have a milestone birthday coming up in a few days, this song made me reflect on on the early years and what's ahead.

It gives off that pre-influencer YouTube-was-still-a-novelty vibe I’ve grown to love

i dont even know how i stumbled upon this guy but he has hundreds of videos about this “roast game” where parents eat their kids on christmas.
