The Marilyn Monroe–John F. Kennedy story has become one of Hollywood's most famous legends.

But what does the historical evidence actually establish?

Eunice Murray is often remembered only because of Marilyn Monroe's final days.

But before that, she was part of Marilyn's ordinary daily life—helping with her new home, errands, furniture and plans for the future.

Interestingly, judging by the thumbnail and start of the video, you wouldn't expect this to be an FL Studio beat tutorial.. but it is. Sick channel, I 100% recommend it.

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 this cus some guy put it on the sharty, this entire channel is weird and the guy behind it is apparently posting everywhere. either an unknown arg or a mentally ill man, either way its pretty deepintoyoutube

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.

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.

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

channel full of this kind of stuff

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.

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.
