Emma Chamberlain is an 18 years old YouTube star from San Bruno, California. Like most teens these days, she grew up with social media – YouTube was launched when she was just five years old, and her pass-time as a child was watching YouTubers.

So it wasn’t too surprising when at age fifteen she decided to try and make it on YouTube herself. She started posting videos daily, focusing on her day-to-day experiences and making fun of the more nonsensical aspects of her life.

Then, one day, she posted a video titled We All Owe The Dollar Store An Apology, where she ranted about the amazing (and ridiculous) finds we can only get at dollar stores. The video went viral, gaining thousands of views. In one month, she went from having 4,000 subscribers to having 150,000 – and her YouTube career finally started gaining momentum.

Today, just three years after that first video, she has a whopping 8.5 million subscribers and is being featured in media outlets across America. Recently she was even featured on the front page of Cosmopolitan! She’s still creating funny, quirky videos, and proves that sometimes, all you need to become a start is a decent sense of humor.

Jamie Jo grew up feeling like a black sheep. In her rural community in Missouri, her talents and interests were viewed as something weird, not special. She was artistic, loved figure skating and art. She was also very shy and had a hard time making friends.

She would’ve continued in her lonely path, if not for one incredible new site she stumbled upon – YouTube. She learned from a friend about this new video site where people shared their art as well as talked about their lives and was immediately hooked. She especially loved the Green brothers, two content creators and authors, who used the new platform to spread positivity.

Soon, Janie mustered the courage to start her own channel and share her art. She’d hoped to meet a few new friends through YouTube, but she certainly hadn’t expected the reaction she got – her channel went viral, and viewers were going nuts over her art!

Today Jamie is a huge YouTube star and artist, with over 400k subscribers. From a shy, lonely kid, she became a full-time artist with thousands of friends. She even met her husband online! And all it took was some patience, courage – and a little site called YouTube.

“This video is about why words flip left & right (aka horizontally) in a mirror but not up & down (aka vertically). The answer has to do with specular reflection, mirrors being like windows into another world (alternate universes, just within and out flipped!), and transparency of the things we write on,” the video description reads.

As the narrator begins to explain, the answer behind this enigma is that mirrors don’t actually flip the images left and right, just like they don’t flip them up and down. The secret is often in the way in which a certain image (or text) is presented to the mirror. The only thing that flips is the direction into or out of the mirror. This is when things get a bit confusing, so we recommend you watch the video below to solve this mystery.

Janelle Eliana used to be just a regular young person, with a regular young person’s troubles. She wasn’t making enough money in a job she didn’t like, and life was weighing her down. But instead of grinding her teeth and keeping on, she ditched it all for a life as a traveler. She bought an old van, fixed it up, and started traveling across the States. On a whim, she launched a YouTube channel, hoping to share her journey with her friend.

That’s when things started going wild. One of her very first videos went viral overnight, and in about two months, she gained over one million subscribers. That’s when she went from being the girl with the van to a YouTube star.

Today, Janelle is still living her van life and sharing her journey with her fans. Her lifestyle might not be for everyone, but the lessons she teaches is one we can all learn – if the life you’re living makes you unhappy, don’t be afraid to get up and do something about it.

The video below shows the creation of a Lego pizza. You can see the onions being chopped, the pepperoni sliced, and all the ingredients placed on top of the dough, before finally adding the cheese. But as real as the preparation may look, all the ingredients are actually Lego blocks and photographs. How impressive is that? 

“I made it with 3,300 pictures,” the video description reads. “Thanks for watching! Please leave a like if you enjoyed and tell me what you think in the comments! Thanks.”

“I built a guitar with barcodes instead of strings – but it has a few extra features including programmable buttons, pitch bend, and octave and channel shift, which are all controlled by retro game controller joysticks and buttons. It’s based on an Arduino MEGA with a USB host shield and a MIDI shield,” he wrote underneath the YouTube video.

Barcode scanners are made to read unique information based on the line pattern. Bruton uses this to make a MIDI guitar. The body of the instrument was made using 3-D printed components and a lot of creativity.

“This channel shows drain cleaning blocked sewer drains using a high-pressure water jet machine,” the plumber writes in his channel description. “The high-pressure water hose that cleans the drain has specific nozzles on the end for cutting out tree roots, grease blockages, and clearing rubble out of drains. It is a disgustingly dirty and smelly job, but someone has to do it, so it may as well be me.”
