  • Good Morning! I'm Jake Roper. It's like that scene from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

  • Uhh and did you know that a group of cats is called a clowder and that elephants use the

  • skin folds to crush mosquitoes.

  • That might seem like a useless fact...s .net but it's actually a DONG. This is slowly covering my eyes. Can't see.

  • DONG stands for do online now guys. I'm blind.

  • If painting isn't your strong suit, but music is, use hpsoundincolor.com.

  • Record a song and watch as it makes beautiful creations based on what it hears.

  • I'm going to make up my own rap and see what it looks like.

  • Yo everyone who's watching DONG -- I'm here to write you an awesome rap song.”

  • Flavor Flav.

  • Now who's gonna sing about me?

  • Giorgio cam will.

  • Take a photo of anything you want and this site will make a song about it.

  • That is stellar, figuratively speaking.

  • But for a literally stellar DONG check out

  • The European Space Agency's satellite, Gaia which is on a mission to chart a 3D map of

  • our galaxy.

  • The first batch of data released September 2016 included the positions of over 1

  • billion stars.

  • One billion stars is a LOT so this website made a map of two million for us to explore.

  • You can click, drag, zoom in and out.

  • It gives you a feel for just how enormous the Milky Way is because you have to scroll

  • for a while before seeing the sun.

  • Here we can see the distance from Earth to the Sun and it's about 150 million km.

  • Saturn is about 1.4 billion km away.

  • Now saTURN your attention to

  • Makemarshome.com.

  • This site gets you prepared to live on the Red Planet by going through your qualifications,

  • evaluating you, and putting your skills to the test.

  • I'll check my eligibility first.

  • How many times do I run a week?

  • Five or more. Of course.

  • Am I prone to motion sickness?

  • No, not at all.

  • How much thought do I give to keeping a balanced diet?

  • A lot. Tacos are balanced. Right? Tacos?

  • Now to test my flying ability.

  • Use the mouse to navigate through each guidance target.

  • After this, get evaluated with tests like Martian Botany but that just sounds like every

  • Saturday night so I'll take a stab at something like base engineering.

  • Connect all the modules for an airtight base.

  • They can be rotated to fit together but make sure not to build on top of any obstacles.

  • When the structure is ready, click pressurize to see if it passes the test.

  • Would ya look at that intelligence.

  • No, seriously, look at that intelligence with

  • FINR.net, an interactive diagram of the human brain.

  • Click this icon to pick from different parts like the cerebral arteries, hippocampus, or

  • frontal lobe.

  • The window on the right gives you information on things like its function, location, and what happens when it's damaged.

  • The list from this icon contains injuries that result from trauma to the brain.

  • For example, a stroke is caused by a restriction of blood flow to it by a blood clot.

  • For a more comprehensive understanding of our health let's move on to

  • Airview.blueair.com, which makes the invisible, visible by showing us what

  • pollutants are in the air we breath right now.

  • Type in a city to see what's floating around like bacteria and viruses, tire and brake

  • wear particles, or, ozone gas.

  • You can click on each one to read about how it can affect us and what it is.

  • In Honolulu, Hawaii, the air quality is 14 on the Air Quality Index, which is good.

  • So we know where the good air is but where's that cat gosh DONGit?

  • Oh there you are in the sink.

  • And in the shed!

  • This game takes you through a series of messy rooms where you find whatever the cat needs

  • at each level.

  • Like a glass of water or this red circle thing.

  • Oh meow *seductive voice* Look at you in that ugly christmas sweater that I designed on

  • uglysweaters.work.

  • How do I know it's mine?

  • I signed my name here at the bottom and it also has taco that I drew on the sleeve. Taco bout fashion. HA!

  • But surprisingly this isn't really my calling but maybe it's

  • being a soldier, which I have yet to try but this chart on verdantlabs.com shows you which

  • names are most likely to have certain professions.

  • Michael is supposed to be a meteorologist or a football coach. I could see both of those things.

  • And Kevin should be a police officer. Which makes sense because he always arrests my attention with fascinating videos.

  • Links to all the DONGs can be found in the description below.

  • And if you want more DONGs, there is a playlist right here filled with them.

  • I have enjoyed our time together. This is the only time I get to spend talking to another person.

  • I'm trapped in this room. Umm...they...they're holding me hostage.

  • and I don't...oh, oh...okay...okay!! I'll say it! I'll say it! I'm so sorry!

  • *crying* And as always, thanks for watching. Not the hose.

  • So uncomfortable. It's like hitting my eyebrow piercing. Ow!

  • I'm blind. I'm blind! Help! Help!

Good Morning! I'm Jake Roper. It's like that scene from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.
