Everyone has about the same answers here, and I agree with many, but I've got a weird one:

Super Size Me

Something about it just compels me. And it always makes me want McDonald's afterwards... I truly struggle to explain why.

A Short History of Ireland by John Gibney

Paying a visit to Ireland and wanted to learn some of the history. It's a good book but definitely wish it included pre-1500s history, since it is a more Britain-centric view of Ireland, really. Starts when Britain really gets to colonizing

That's what I was thinking.

The fan in the thumbnail (and the one he tries in the video) fails because the fan's intake is pulling the fan away from the sail (like an airplane propeller). However, I wonder if you redirected that intake to the front of the boat while directing the output to the sail, could you get more thrust? The fan's intake and output would then be working together.

Also the leaf blower could work in theory but I think there's too much friction for the leaf blower to overcome. If it did have enough to push you, then you'd also be pushed sideways by the blower's output as well

I was about to complain about how my rubber bands in the US came in a non-resealable bag when it dawned on me that the bag itself contains hundreds of bands capable of sealing the bag
