It'll let you past 21 without a camera if you just wait and click a few times. Might be best you don't, it just seems endlessly tedious to me.

Are graves still dug by hand? I always find excavators are used, baring final touches. Are there cemeteries where even the smallest excavators can't get in, or areas of the world where hours of manual labor is cheaper than a few minutes of heavy equipment usage?

Give a stray cat some food around here, and tomorrow you'll have 10 cats... One of them might look like yours.

With one small modification, my futon could be put in this configuration. For full-time use, it makes more sense to create a V-share bed frame out of wood, and put a futon mattress on top of it.

I'm not prepared to criticize any of these folks, except where the rich are using charitable services for the poor. But even there, who knows how damaged these folks were from the horrible things they might have gone through or at least seen first-hand during their lives. Ye Old England was a place of incredible poverty people can't begin to imagine. When the punishment for stealing food was hanging, starving to death in the streets was quite common (though it was usually some disease or another that technically finished you off first).
I remember my grandparent's yard was absolutely filled with old scraps... Every one of their old cars, washing machines, etc., was stockpiled there for years. I thought that was just a common thing for old folks. All those I knew at that age, were old enough to have lived through The Great Depression and they were all too familiar with 25% unemployment, huge numbers of people starving, successful professionals suddenly losing their jobs and never being able to earn another dollar for the rest of their lives, and even extremely wealthy folks being suddenly reduced to complete poverty. No doubt living through that left a deep impression on them, and a powerful determination not to ever run out of money and go through the same.
Living frugally, despite being wealthy, is generally regarded as a virtue in western/Christian societies, and not a vice. It's only in recent decades that "stimulating the economy" has been bandied about as an excuse for frivolous or extravagant spending. At one point the narrator says "If he were just cheap with himself, that's nobody's business but his own" which sounds good, but then 90% of this video is in fact criticizing how these wealthy folks chose to live, with very few examples of these folks being miserly to others.

Chill Dude Explains' videos are the Youtube equivalent of Cracked or Listverse articles. Low-effort (graphics sometimes don't make sense) and riddled with inaccuracies that are easy to debunk with some casual web searches by anybody moved to do so.
I try hard to avoid getting my information from sources regularly mixed with false information. But to each their own.

You seem to be misinterpreting IMDB notation.
First example: Actor Marty Pistone played the character of "Controller #2". BUT IMDB notes the actor's name was incorrectly printed as "Martin" in the film's credit.
You'd need to find someone credited with a character name of "self" or their own name (e.g. "Ronald Regan").

Instant potatoes may not be as good as fresh mashed, but they're still worlds better than the "whipped" potatoes included in many (most?) TV dinners. Those are just slightly less awful than eating a kitchen sponge. They seem to exist only to look good in the picture on the box and push the weight and calorie count up a bit.

Why do so many low-quality Youtube channels feel the need to include hard-coded subtitles into the video? Do they not know anybody who wants them can click the CC button on youtube? I find it very distracting and avoid them all.

An "immersion heater" is small enough to fit in a pocket but with that and a mug, you can do quite a bit of guerrilla cooking. Boil water for: coffee, cocoa, oatmeal, ramen, (instant) rice or potatoes, etc. With a larger "mug" you can even heat-up hotdogs, retort pouches (i.e. MREs) or even warm up cans.

"And I don't care how cool you think you might be, you cannot take someone serious yelling at you to pay attention, with a big toe hanging off the end of their hand. Far as I was concerned, it was payback time. I'd come in the room, say stuff like: "Get your feet off the table!" At Christmas, my brother got him a sock and a glove."- Billy Gardell - "Halftime" (2011)
