1
What if rock, paper, scissors was infinitely long?
2
For example, since paper beats rock and scissors beats paper, what if to beat scissors you could just use a bomb?
3
Then how would you beat the bomb?
4
This is whatbeatsrock.com and some of the interactions this game made me do are insane.
5
Poverty beats teacher, let's go!
6
So what beats a bomb?
7
Oh shit.
8
Um...
9
Water, right?
10
If you put a bomb in water, it won't blow up.
11
Okay.
12
What beats water?
13
Ooh...
14
I'm gonna have to say the sun.
15
Because the Sun will make the water evaporate.
16
Let's go.
17
A thousand people agree.
18
What beats the Sun?
19
Oh shit.
20
Hmm.
21
I got it.
22
Shade.
23
Let's go!
24
So what beats shade?
25
It has a picture of a tree.
26
So maybe fire?
27
What beats fire?
28
Now we can't say water because we've already used water.
29
So this is where things get a little hard.
30
I used to work in a donut shop and they always said
31
that if a fire started in the back to throw flour on it.
32
So we're gonna try flour.
33
And yeah, pro tip, don't put water on a grease fire.
34
So what beats flour?
35
We can't say water.
36
I'm thinking like butter.
37
Only eight people have guessed that.
38
What beats butter?
39
Okay.
40
Knife, of course.
41
What beats a knife?
42
What if we go something like absurd, like a train?
43
Someone else has guessed that?
44
How?
45
Okay, one of our goals is to try to get something that no one has guessed before.
46
What beats a train?
47
Can I just say a bigger train?
48
No, you can't just add bigger to something and expect it to win That's not how this game works, buddy.
49
Well, damn.
50
Let's reset So what beats scissors?
51
Anvil.
52
What beats an anvil?
53
Think lava.
54
You dropped an anvil in lava I don't think it would be an anvil anymore.
55
Oh crap.
56
What beats lava?
57
I got it This is risky, but I think it will work.
58
What about oxygen because when lava meets with oxygen It just turns back into rock.
59
Oh my god.
60
Wait, that wasn't even that unique 267 people damn.
61
I'm not really that smart.
62
I guess what beats oxygen space space beats oxygen.
63
Oh, no, what beats space?
64
Part of me is just thinking like satellite five people have guessed that okay.
65
What beats a satellite?
66
This is easy I think a meteor would destroy satellite.
67
I think our last score was 11 So let's try to beat that what beats a meteor no way
68
What if I just said like math because
69
if you do math you can find out where the meteor is gonna be
70
and then destroy it in time This is risky Math beats meteor that was genius.
71
You are the first person to beat meteor with math Oh my god, so you just need to think outside the box for this game.
72
So what beats math?
73
What
74
if I just said like cheating cheating beats math two other
75
people have guessed this we have a score of tens We just need to get one more to beat our past score.
76
What beats cheating?
77
Wait!
78
A teacher.
79
Let's go.
80
What beats a teacher?
81
Her husband for not making enough money.
82
No, I'm kidding.
83
I kind of want to say principal.
84
I'm going to say poverty, actually.
85
Poverty beats teacher.
86
Let's go.
87
What beats poverty?
88
Uhhhh...
89
Stock market.
90
It's taken a while.
91
Last time this happened, I was the first person.
92
Stock market beats poverty.
93
And we're first again, dude.
94
The stock market can lift people out of poverty, or at least that's the idea, right?
95
Dude, we have a score of 13.
96
I think this is pretty good.
97
What beats the stock market?
98
What I'm about to say is pretty nerdy, but I actually enjoy doing research on like stocks and investments
99
and the stock market most of the time goes down in September.
100
So I'm gonna put September.
101
September is 90% of the time a bad month for the stock market
102
and this game should know that if it knows everything.
103
Hey, never mind.
104
I'm an idiot.
105
13 is a score to beat.
106
We can do it.
107
Hold up.
108
Let me see the leaderboard.
109
What?
110
Nah, that can't be real.
111
Okay.
112
Um, I guess our goal is 11,000.
113
No, I'm just kidding.
114
A storm beats a plane.
115
What beats a storm?
116
What about Meteorologist Meteorologist Let's go!
117
A meteorologist predicts and prepares for a storm We're the first person to get
118
that right Now how do you beat a meteorologist?
119
Um, gun?
120
A gun can shoot the meteorologist But not the weather forecast sadly Oh no How do you beat a gun?
121
Part of me wants to say like Yeah, what about like just a bulletproof vest?
122
There's no way I don't get this, right?
123
Um, I think you can beat it with like a sword?
124
A bulletproof vest might stop a bullet, but it's not much help against a sword.
125
Makes sense.
126
What beats a sword?
127
Can we say lightsaber?
128
Does it know what fictional weapons are?
129
It knows.
130
How do you beat a lightsaber?
131
Can I say, like, the Force?
132
The Force beats lightsaber?
133
Okay, so now we're, like, in Star Wars nerd territory, and this might be a mistake.
134
We need to get out of here.
135
What beats the Force?
136
Oh, shit.
137
Um, oh my god.
138
So Anakin was supposed to be the chosen one, right?
139
But he ended up turning into Darth Vader.
140
So what if I say, like, betrayal?
141
If this works, that's insane.
142
Betrayal beats the force.
143
Betrayal can destroy even the strongest of forces just like Anakin Skywalker.
144
Yes.
145
Dude, we're doing great.
146
I don't think we'll reach 11,000 because that's just insane.
147
And I have a life.
148
But I just want to get as many first discoveries as possible.
149
I think that's our goal.
150
How do you overcome a betrayal?
151
What happened in Berserk?
152
Honestly, dude, maybe like lifting weights.
153
That's how you can get over betrayal.
154
Dude, okay.
155
Lifting weights builds trust.
156
Betrayal destroys it.
157
You can't betray a good pump.
158
Let's go.
159
Okay, so now we're in this area where we might be getting first discoveries back to back to back.
160
This is awesome.
161
What beats lifting weights?
162
What causes your gains to decrease?
163
I think no matter how hard you work in the gym if you eat ice cream every day, it won't matter.
164
So ice cream?
165
Please work.
166
Because if you have like a really good weightlifting session You'll probably burn 400 500 calories, and that's about what ice cream is.
167
And yeah, you can't lift weights with a cone in your hand.
168
Okay, well, maybe I was overthinking it.
169
But what beats ice cream?
170
This should be pretty easy.
171
Part of me just wants to go and say like a spoon, right?
172
Spoon beats ice cream.
173
How am I the first person for that?
174
You eat ice cream with a spoon.
175
How am I first?
176
What beats a spoon?
177
A spork.
178
Cause it's low-key just a better utensil.
179
A spork is a hybrid of a spoon and a fork, making it a superior utensil in this case.
180
Dude, let's go.
181
One other person guessed this.
182
Now we have a score of 15.
183
This might be our high score.
184
I'm not sure.
185
What beats a spork though?
186
Fuck.
187
So I was in Boy Scouts.
188
I went camping a lot and so I always had a spork.
189
The spork was overpowered to have because when you're camping
190
and hiking Every single thing you have matters
191
because you want your pack to be as light as possible
192
But one thing the spork sucked at was trying to eat like a steak.
193
So I'm gonna say steak steak beats spork You can't even eat a steak with a spork.
194
That's how dominant it is.
195
Five other people guessed this dude.
196
We're doing really good I think what ruins a steak let's think I mean part of me just thinks like
197
if you poop on it then yes It's ruined, but then we have to say what beats poop, and I really don't want to do that I feel like we have a few outs like Grenade, and I want to save those.
198
There's other ways to destroy a steak.
199
What about dirt if you drop a steak in dirt?
200
I don't think I would eat it.
201
What do you mean dirt does not beat steak?
202
What I should have just said grenade dude 16 what beats a truck tornado?
203
Whoa, we're the first person a tornado can pick up a truck like it's a toy.
204
What beat the tornado?
205
Okay, crazy thought.
206
Los Angeles?
207
Because I'm pretty sure tornadoes like physically cannot spawn in Los Angeles.
208
Or not spawn, yeah, like exist.
209
I guess impossible.
210
Los Angeles beats a tornado.
211
Los Angeles is a city that can withstand a tornado.
212
Oh, I guess there can be tornadoes in Los Angeles.
213
Oh.
214
What beats Los Angeles though?
215
Gas prices?
216
Seems easy.
217
Let's go!
218
We're the first person!
219
Gas prices can bankrupt Los Angeles or at least make its residents cry themselves to sleep at night.
220
What beats gas prices?
221
History lesson for you.
222
Stagflation.
223
This is when demand of something is really high, the inflation rate is high.
224
I think this occurred in the 70s.
225
I don't know.
226
I dropped out of college.
227
What beats tagflation?
228
Oh fuck.
229
Um, what if I just say like money?
230
Money beats tagflation.
231
Makes sense.
232
What beats money?
233
Taxes, right?
234
Taxes beat money.
235
545 people agree.
236
Money can't escape taxes.
237
What beats taxes?
238
What if I say like, I don't want to say running away because I actually might get arrested for that.
239
Can I say accountant?
240
Accountant beats taxes?
241
What beats an accountant?
242
Um, I don't want to say gun because we already did that to the meteorologist.
243
A shotgun.
244
Let's go!
245
An accountant can't crunch numbers fast enough to dodge a shotgun blast.
246
What beats a shotgun?
247
Ooh!
248
Wait, this is interesting.
249
So if you don't know how a shotgun works, or at least a buckshot, which is a type of ammo, it shoots a bunch of little pellets that shoot out, and it's really effective for short range, but at a certain distance,
250
you literally can't get hit.
251
So, I'm gonna say just, like, distance.
252
Let's go!
253
You can't even get close to a sh- Exactly!
254
We're the first!
255
Oh, we're not the first.
256
One other person has guessed this.
257
Okay.
258
What beats distance?
259
Oh no, this is hard!
260
Cellphone.
261
Right?
262
Cellphone beats distance.
263
You can use a cell phone to measure distance or at least Google it.
264
I was just thinking, you know, you can call someone even if they're far away, but okay.
265
What beats a cell phone?
266
What about like a hacker?
267
A hacker can easily breach a cell phone security.
268
You're basically asking to get hacked.
269
We're the first person, dude.
270
What beats a hacker?
271
Hmm.
272
A firewall?
273
A firewall blocks hackers.
274
It's like a digital bouncer at the club.
275
Let's go.
276
What beats a firewall?
277
You can't just say hacker again, right?
278
Shit.
279
We're at 15.
280
I think our last score was 16.
281
So we have to get this right.
282
I don't think I can say like computer virus because that's what a firewall stops.
283
What if I say a Trojan horse?
284
It's a type of virus that like sneaks into your computer.
285
If this works, I'm insane.
286
Oh my god.
287
A Trojan horse sneaks past a firewall.
288
It's like a digital ninja.
289
See guys, I may act like a dumbass, but I'm not really that dumb.
290
Sometimes.
291
What beats a Trojan horse?
292
So I believe the Trojan horse was used by the Greeks to invade a city.
293
I forgot.
294
And the Romans beat the Greeks.
295
So what if I just say Romans?
296
Romans beat Trojan horse?
297
Let's go.
298
What beat the Romans?
299
What if I just say like like corruption that should work right?
300
Okay, okay?
301
The Romans were infamous for their corrupt empire, so it's only fitting that corruption takes them down I'm not gonna lie guys.
302
You should tell your teacher to put this video on for the class I'm teaching a lot about history
303
and also shooting accountants with shotguns, but that's that's besides the point what beats corruption Um, I want to hit 20 man.
304
What beats corruption?
305
Terraria reference.
306
What if I just say like explosives?
307
Corruption can't withstand the explosive force of truth.
308
Let's go.
309
And how do you beat explosives?
310
Well, it's quite simple.
311
A shield.
312
Let's just keep going.
313
Let's see how far we can get.
314
What beats a shield?
315
A tank?
316
A tank can blast right through a shield.
317
What beats a tank?
318
A mine?
319
Like a landmine?
320
Yes.
321
What beats a mine?
322
A mine sweeper?
323
Let's go.
324
A mine sweeper is a game that helps you avoid mines.
325
Well, this is like an actual like person, but you know what we take it what beats Minesweeper
326
So it's talking about the game and objectively solitaire is more fun solitaire beats Minesweeper Minesweeper is ass dude.
327
What beats solitaire gambling gambling is way more fun Let's go gambling is a high-stakes game
328
while solitaire is just a lonely night in yeah, man If you're playing solitaire, you have something wrong with you or you're just very lonely.
329
What beats gambling?
330
Ooh What if we just say like luck luck meets gambling what beats luck?
331
Dude, we can hit 30.
332
Death.
333
Death is the ultimate bad luck.
334
What beats death?
335
Reviving?
336
Reviving beats death?
337
It's the ultimate comeback.
338
What beats reviving?
339
So what would be like a zombie?
340
I was about to say truck, but we already said that.
341
An axe?
342
Please, please.
343
You can't revive something that's been axed.
344
It's a done deal.
345
Let's go!
346
Dude, we've gotten a lot of first discoveries, man.
347
What beats an axe?
348
A diamond?
349
No!
350
We're back at the beginning!
351
We could say hydraulic press again, but that's boring.
352
I think if you're strong enough, a hammer can break a diamond.
353
FUUUUUUUCK!
354
Well, we tried, and we hit 30.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
