Everyone keeps saying they saw such beautiful things

I just got stuck watching a guy eat an entire jar of mayonnaise without stopping

[EDIT] Just realized that the websockets that fuel the video transitions are suffering the same 503s as the other assets — so the feed 503'd, and I got stuck on an unending, non-changing video of a guy looking into the camera as he ate so, so much mayonnaise.

whole site's throwing 502's intermittently, here's a list of video id's of what sorta content it shows (for people interested but can't use it).

As someone who regularly searches IMG_0123 to see things like "mayonnaise man" before astronaut.io existed: you must share the link to the video. There's no excuse for the lack of a link.

Also, this service does not work with iOS, which is a shame.

Agreed, "mayonnaise man" sounds like an internet legend in the making. To claim it is not beautiful without a link, but give such a fascinating description...

Link! This is useless without a link!

You can't link, since whoever made this site disabled any and all controls on the videos. Even the youtube button in the corner is blocked off.

This is one of the most evil implementations of video embedding i've ever seen.

Well, isn't it the whole point, though? :)

What exactly is the point in your opinion? I have no idea which exact point you're referring to, and the point as i understood it is 100% undermined by the implementation.

Yes it's blocked by CSS: #player { pointer-events: none;} and it's against the YouTube TOS:

"G. if you use the YouTube Player on your website may not modify, build upon or block any portion or functionality of the YouTube Player including but not limited to links back to the Website;"

the videos are linkable back to youtube via the logo now :D

i think the main side effect is if you accidentally click the video, it stops, which ruins the illusion of a continuous live stream (like television), but that's the tradeoff at the moment i guess ever since the old embed api was deprecated.

Cheers for the quick fix, and the explanation. I'm happy to know it was only an aesthetic misstep.
