This is not sufficient for starting a thread. What are you posting, and why? You need to explain to people why you are posting a link.

He found the video "freaking cool". That's why I guess.

Isn't it obvious? This is general discussion, I posted a general thread about something which is cool.

If I try to paint fractal patterns, I always get lost in the details...

No it is not "obvious", and it's against the rules. You should know better by now. The same rules apply to GD as everywhere else in the forum.

Actually my first response too was "meh, So? What's the point..." but it seems like a good idea to turn (hijack :devil:) the thread into a general thread for cool interesting things because a thread for just one video doesn't make any sense...
o:)

The wet blanket was responding to a complaint that there was no explanation, no clue what the thread was about.

I wasn't aware someone complained, in future I will try to be a little more clearer with descriptions. I quite like the idea of turning the thread into a "cool things" thread where people can post pictures and videos about things they think are cool and want to share with others.

We even have a random thoughts thread for people who just chat nonsense lol so my thread can't be that bad.

We have a thread already for videos and one for pictures.

Here's the one for pictures.

I don't mind a new thread for both though.

Laminar flow demonstrations have always been a favorite of mine.

If I decided to start a thread every time I find something cool I'd need a forum just for me
