  • The first 4 minutes and 19 seconds of The Zipf Mystery but everytime Vsauce repeats a word, it loops back to the last time it was used.
    I may have missed a few, but I won't be fixing those mistakes again, because my laptop already lags so much (not that much), and the fact that I did all of this on CapCut, manually.
    And also a lot of timing errors that make the video loop unsatisfyingly. I'm sorry, I couldn't time the cuts more precise due to my reaction time.
    If you wanna see more of this video: go to this link: • 4:59 of The Zipf Myste...
    I did not create the material shown in the video; The Zipf Mystery is owned by Vsauce.

    When I am really, really tired, and my mind is collapsing trying not to think about stress, this is what my brain does. This exact thing. Sometimes I'll even say stuff out loud while pacing in circles, repeating, repeating, a little further, repeating again, caught in mental loops as my mind sits at the brink of insanity, staring across a dark river of dreams I am too tired to swim across.
    Thanks for making this, now I can explain how I feel sometimes to people by just sending them this :P
