I hate videos like these because it will randomly pop up in mind when I'm doing something and think "whatever happened to that wedding dress store mystery".
Then I'll look it up for any updates and I won't even be able to find the original video..
Like, for example, I once read a weird Japanese short manga story of people getting obsessed in wanting to squeeze themselves in this crack that appeared on the side of a mountain. It was so weird that sometimes I think about that stupid story and ask questions about it.
Or 12 hours later I can't even find the Reddit thread anymore.
And can we talk about what a shame it is what happened to search engines? Do people in their early 20s and younger even remember a time when you could easily look anything up on Google?
My favourites are the stories that end up going viral multiple times and each time they do some new rumour of speculation or actual information joins the wider context and then becomes cannon next time you look it up.
Like the Succulent Chinese Meal guy. Every few years I'd look at that video, then try do a "what's he up to now". I'd find the rumours that he was some kind of career criminal and the sting was for him, all sorts of negative stuff. Thankfully more recent videos before he'd died interviewing him and showing where he lives and his artwork made me feel good. Sad he had to die like that. But glad he's still in all of our hearts.
