      Contrast my friend! This channel uses a lineless art style, so in order to differentiate objects, they use color contrast! Most skyscrapers aren't pink, but cartoonish elephants are often colored as such. Pink on blue is much easier and more interesting to see than blue on blue.

      this entire video drives me nuts. Size being conflated with mass or density is ridiculous. A condor is much larger than a terrier, but the condor will survive a fall that a terrier wouldn't because it's bones are hollow and they are actually pretty light. So right there, with a bird, this video is shown to be mostly garbage.

    I used to be a high rise window cleaner.
    There are a lot of spiders in my area.
    I feel way less terrible about all the arachnids I've thrown off skyscrapers now.
    I had to share because I imagine I'm one of very few people to whom this video was relevant to a personal experience.
    Still crazy to me how far up those spiders will climb.

    The comments:
    50% "Size matters" jokes that weren't funny the first time
    20% "Cleverly" answering the question in the title (some variant of "it dies" or "you go to jail")
    20% Animal abuse jokes/Variants of "why would you do that?" or "poor animals"
    10% Others, maybe a quarter of which actually engage with the video meaningfully
