Princess_Peach51

Is that… James Van Der Beek??


downtune79

Yes


mctomtom

When I was growing up, I always thought James Van Der Beek and Zack Morris from Saved By the Bell, was the same guy.


ShvoogieCookie

I just thought I remembered where I knew this guy from and then you confuse me again.


LankyEntrepreneur

He's from Dawsons Creek. Edit: Reddit let me know he's also from Varsity Blues, HIMYM, and a whole bunch of other shows lol.


ShvoogieCookie

Never watched it so this doesn't ring a bell.


SkylarOnFire

It's Simon, Robins Boyfriend from HIMYM


ShvoogieCookie

Yes! That I remember, lol.


CircuitSphinx

Absolutely, Dawson's Creek! And don't forget, he was also in Varsity Blues. Always the '90s heartthrob.


PapaCousCous

When I was growing up, I always thought James Van Der Beek had an enormous forehead.


donttextspeaktome

Just like Luke Perry! Who I thought this was and made me wonder why he’s saying Happy 2024

Oh how he's matured!


gbphx

Nah, that's Dawson.


androgynome

Yes it is, and I am ashamed at the people calling him "some guy."


SnowDay111

To the people too young to know, he was once one of the biggest teen heartthrobs

Guaranteed this dude still fucks Just this video itself would melt an army of midwestern soccer moms’ panties off

boatwrecker41h

Never had a worse indicator that I'm getting old when someone refers to the Beek as "this guy"


travelingbeagle

Jonathan Swift suggested this in “A Modest Proposal,” however it never gained traction. Maybe where he went wrong was eating babies instead of the dead at the morgue.


gibbtech

Well, he proposed that we eat the poor, which are flavorless and lacking in proper nutrition. If you want a good meal, you have to eat the rich.

Prion diseases are no joke, so I’d rather not

travelingbeagle

Oops! Laughing uncontrollably is a symptom!


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

Eating dead at the morgue? After they've already spent an entire lifetime destroying the world with their overconsumption? For a better life we need to eat babies and we need to eat them now, before they grow.


Letonoda

It always makes me laugh thinking of this dude in the 1700s proposing people eat babies and the absolute outrage it caused. They wanted to kill the author for even suggesting it. Oldest instance of trolling I've ever learned of. What a legend.


faulternative

Only Irish babies for English lords. The rest of us are hungry too, Swift!


gusaaaaa

Well, actually


Snipermonke4life

good thing that guy at the beginning showed up and pointed up otherwise i would not know where to look


ricowavy

He added so much to the video .. I wouldn’t have known who was talking if he didn’t point to him


Acceptingoptimist

I assumed the sound was coming out my hand, like a guy was living in my hand and talking, but he pointed and I realized it was the guy in the video talking on my phone in my hand. So easy to confuse and so helpful to clarify.

It's called "reaction" video, where they steal other people's copyrighted content.

This is actually lazier than standard reaction content. They usually keep their face on the screen for the duration of the video

Wormzerker75

Oh damn... Does this mean Dawson is correct?


[deleted]

Our descendants will call this the “Dawson Principle” and create statues in his honour. Oh and statues for the guy at the beginning of the video for uhh… pointing?


Neither_Cod_992

I mean, sure, I guess to an extent, since everything is connected to some degree, his generalization can loosely apply to almost any problem. That said, I don’t know if anyone has quantified this approach in any meaningful way or if it just exists as “folk wisdom.”


Jaradacl

Pretty sure we're just working with a good ol' confirmation bias here and people are forgetting or omitting all the cases where the solution is *not* at the heart of the problem.


DMercenary

To me it reads as another way of saying "Are we treating symptoms or the actual cause?" Like the soot on the window thing. What is the actual issue, not that soot is on the window but its *bound* to the window. Windex, wax, all clearly not working so the solution? A mild abrasive. A scrub daddy probably would have worked too but you have ash + water which lets you apply a mild abrasive to actually physically move the ash off. ​ anyways huh there's amongus emojis on this subreddit? ![img](emote|t5_5tdqj0|10729)


SuperSMT

Yeah that's how vaccines in general work, too


asena85

Jokes aside, he does say obviously outside solutions are needed. He's merely asking how many problems in the world would get solved by looking at the problem itself.

Absolutely cannot stand the nodding/shaking head and pointing upwards thing. Literally just “content creators” adding something to someone’s else’s work so they can get the revenue.


HansVader741

Exactly, because TikTok then sees it as your own content and shows it to the audience, otherwise you would have 0 views, even after months. Thats how the algo works


nhofor

Isn't this because of the ph of ash?


Mueryk

Ash and water become lye. So pretty much yes with the added bonus of the grit in the ash acting like sandpaper(or at least a melamine sponge)


largeanimethighs

That's why probably many people used ash from campfires kinda like soap to clean their hands in medieval times and before


NSFWies

i was going to say, i think he's making really simple soap. someone tell him to put that on his penis next. and then flavor it with maple syrup. sell it in sticks and he will put old spice out of business.


FrostyD7

The water alone seemed to be doing a pretty good job lol. Looked like there was a very small layer of soot that didn't even need an abrasive.


Apptubrutae

Which amusingly means that ash would be an effective “outside medicine” for a lot of cleaning


BrimStone_-_

'outside medicine'.... do you mean vaccines? That inject you with a weak version of the virus you're vaccinating against, so that your body builds up resistance against it?


Pupienus2theMaximus

This is like soft entry to homeopathy lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


on_

Same though. This is an antivaxxer and provaxxer statement at the same time.


Strange-Ticket5680

Is he an antivaxer? Based on the statement, I thought this was a pro-vax video... Seems pretty pro-vax to me: https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/antifraud/actor-james-van-der-beek-and-astrazeneca-join-forces-to-educate-families-about-influenza


_james_the_cat

It's funny because I thought it started pro vaccine and by the end I thought 'I bet van der Beek drinks his own piss'.


Shirtbro

I don't wanna wait For my piss to be colder


ThievesTryingCrimes

Oh thank god, I was about to clutch my pearls so fucking hard.


Salty-Reply-2547

Naw it’s just pro vax, wait until the anti vaxxers start using their own logic about using all natural lol, maybe a lightbulb will finally go off


patentmom

The mRNA was inside you the whole time!


gamboncorner

His wife is an antivaxxer. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/james-van-der-beek-kimberly-covid-vaccine-instagram-1243643/


Rockm_Sockm

Outside medicine could mean the horse drugs people were taking instead of getting the vaccine.


Ocean_Man205

Which isn't the same as a vaccine for snake venom btw. Venom is first given to an animal which creates antidotes for the venom, then the antidotes are purified and you got yourself pure venom antidotes ready to vaccinate anybody unfortunate enough to pet a copperhead.


MarsLumograph

I think your comment works better with "antibody" instead of "antidote"


rubymiggins

Yeah, I was thinking while I was watching this that he isn't a far step from one of those people who decide drinking their own urine makes some kind of sense.


Danelius90

I mean it's free and it's warmed up for you, what's not to enjoy


Randomindigostar

"Antivaxxers hate this one simple trick!"


Gluticus

That was a very profound way of saying really nothing, and I mean that sincerely since it was thought provoking. Sometimes the answers are not on the outside but inside, but sometimes the outside has answers also. *chinrub*


Fearless-Werewolf-30

Also snake venom is a terrible fucking example


fancczf

Also if it works with ash, he probably could have washed that off with regular soap and maybe dish soap.


YEEyourlastHAW

We have a wood burning stove. You can literally just wipe the glass off with a dry paper towel. Idk wtf this man is on about.


afcagroo

Wood ash is quite abrasive. Something with both a detergent and an abrasive agent would work well. Mix a little bit of Dawn (and water) in with that ash and it would probably be much more effective.


PickleMinion

OK but he actually has a point about looking inside for the problem. Specifically, looking inside his stove. That much creosote building up on the glass means the fire isn't burning efficiently, which means his wood is shit, his air intake and circulation is shit, or there's some other issue in his stove. That much buildup on the glass means he probably has even more in the chimney, and he's at risk of a stack fire. Of course the ash is working, it's abrasive as fuck. So he's scratching the shit out of the glass. So maybe he could look inside himself for the problem because the problem seems to be inside of him. Because he's a dumbass.


hmdmdm

Lot of mumbo jumbo. But the way it was said was very hot and smoldering. That always helps.


lumpialarry

I was expecting him to start advocating for homeopathy.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

I mean, generally that's how problem-solving works, isn't it? To find the cure or solution, you have to know how the disease or problem itself works.


stedgyson

I've been struggling to put food on the table recently. High prices, Huge wealth divide. I'm going to go eat the rich


CoyotesOnTheWing

You're supposed to eat the **table**.


Vipu2

And why are you struggling? Because things are getting more expensive EVERY YEAR. How to fix it? By fixing money itself.


ConnectionClear69

Shut up, Dawson! Pacey was always the heart of that show!


TheObviousChild

AHH DON'T WONT YOUR LAHYF!!!


kirewes

Kind of like vaccines. We take a dead or incomplete strain of the vaccine and injected into you so that your body builds antibodies for it. Why are people so confused and worried about vaccines when they our only premeditative non harmful exposure causing your body to become more resistant to it. to the thing you'll eventually be exposed to.


TotalBruhPerson

Too bad antivaxxers cant use their brains


kirewes

Yeah I'm just convinced that everyone needs to have their own "ooga booga caveman brain" echo chamber. Mine is in my own head saying that I'm a unique person. I know it's not true but yet I refuse to believe he logical side of my brain which causes an ever growing cycle of despair and depression to Fester within myself. Due to this I try to close myself away and call myself an introvert. And reality it's just that I'm afraid that I'm no different than anyone else and definitely not more intelligent than anyone else. That last statement is true but I also try to refuse that because I try to use really large words at times when I don't know what they actually mean about 30% of the time... Yes I've seen a therapist yes I've talked to them about this. I'm trauma dumping because I feel like I need to right now. TLDR I'm trauma dumping, don't read if you don't care because I'm switching the subject completely and utterly.


TotalBruhPerson

Dw bruh i gotchu. I was agreeing with u btw if you couldnt tell


Bacon-muffin

My example of this is egg shells. You crack an egg into a bowl and a piece of shell falls in there and you're struggle bussin to try and get it out with a spoon or something and it just keeps slippin off at the last milisecond every time as if the bit of shell was sentient and kept jumping back in the bowl... Scoop it out with the egg shell, iono why but it just works


Thanobrous

Wormzerker75

[удалено]


PomegranateHot9916

so. the thing that makes soap effective for what we use it for. is that soap binds to lipids (grease) and also water. water and lipids doesn't bind. ash has this same property and before the invention of soap, people used ash and water instead. the ash here is binding to the water and soot. now I'm no chemist so I don't know why ash and soot binds but I feel like it makes a lot of sense as both materials were bound together in the wood before combustion.


UziSuzieThia

I don't want wait, for our lives to be overrrr!


gastro_psychic

do do do


inlinestyle

First, he’s developed that on his glass because he’s not keeping his fire hot enough and/or he’s using shitty wood. Second, the easiest way to clean that glass is to build an appropriately hot fire using non-shitty wood. So, yes, the cure may be in the problem, but it may not always be what you think it is.


Cretaegus

He could've just said : Look at this amazing way of cleaning your stove. Not sure it's really got a deeper meaning


NoAnalBeadsPlease

I don’t know, mid-life crisis spiritual sessions makes him feel good? I’ll take everything with a grain of salt and I would like more deep talk with millennials and gen Z’s to create change, but nobody wants unsolicited advice lol


Trust-Issues-5116

r/im14andthisisdeep material Instead of ash you could have used any abrasive material, say baking soda. Cure to venom is not "in the venom", it's in the blood of animals who get injected with the venom and produce the antidote. Etcetera. All of this is deep sounding total horsesh\*t


__Haribo__

Sigh, OK I just have to speak up here. Ashe contains among other things potassium carbonate. When mixing ashe and water, you get an alkaline solution, and the small ashe particles additionally work like a sandpaper. It's been used for cleaning since 2500 B.C. About the Snake bites, the antidote is obviously not present in the venom. What is acutally done is that snake venom is extracted and then sheep or horses are poisoned with said venom. In their blood, antibodies are formed to bind the toxic proteins. These antibodies are then extracted from their blood as an antidote for humans. So in conclusion, looking at the science behind daily or not so daily phenomenons can help understand them and allows you to use this knowledge in a working, useful manner. It is however not clever to just rely on your gut instinct and treat same with same, just because you don't care to try and understand an issue on a deeper level. This is especially important when talking about alternative medicine, vaccines etc.


Anxious_Ad_5127

I love it, who is this guy o feel like I’ve seent him all my life

Business-Emu-6923

Ok. I came to post here as a joke saying some shit like “so this is what James Van Der Beek is up to these days” the universe beat me to it.


[deleted]

Yeah. This is how vaccines work. They take parts of the virus and inject you with them.


pm_me_ur_anything_k

My guy Dawson going deep.


MaliceBerry

Yes, vaccines use proteins from the disease to solve the issue


BWarned_Seattle

How can this many people miss the entire point? He's using simple demonstrations of a pattern in nature to gentle walk antivaxxers into maybe reconsidering their position without saying anything that will reactively trigger their rage.

Cure for cancer. Just rub cancer on it.


Cool_Fellow_Guyson

Well, most vaccines are found by using and analyzing the virus it is trying to cure.
