I remember hearing about this show ages ago on an episode of This American Life. Thanks for the heads up, this sounds like a good doc.
If you don't watch the video: it's footage of an I-beam being created at a factory. As an adult, this is not scary. As a young child, this is terrifying. There is no narration, none of your Sesame Street friends are here with you. This is a large glowing letter I that the camera never breaks away from. It's mashed and chunks appear to break off of it. The music is a ominous sounding piano with occasional trumpet bursts and anvil clanks. At the very end the camera freezes on the I-beam and we get two final crashing piano and anvil notes. The whole thing lasts less than a minute, and then we're on to the next segment. There's no context for what you just saw, no lead-in, and no one makes mention of it after.
It scared the hell out of me. If I saw this early in the morning, I'd be in an anxious state for the rest of the day.
We'll take all kinds of dragons!
Small dragons, big dragons, even radioactive dragons.
Your pizza isn't Y2K compliant.
I can't say I've ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.
Socks, especially warm ones.
Getting a pet. I moved out of my parents' place in 2009, but bringing home a cat a few months later felt like the first big adult decision I had made. I had pets before, but they were family pets so my siblings and parents all had a hand in taking care of them.
But the feeling of "this is a living thing and it's relying on me to keep it alive" was an entirely different thing.
My local CVS tried a system where you get to pull a string in one room and a big bucket of water dumps onto an employee in another room, but it just wasn't the same. It was missing that personal touch you only get with a one-on-one hose down.
I had a dream about hyenas.
I know that sounds pretty lame. I'm not really sure what caused it, I don't have furry-related dreams. Hell, my dreams are usually pretty boring. But this one was about hyenas for some reason. The next day I was idly doodling in a notebook instead of studying and I was thinking about the hyena dream and I drew this very rough drawing of a little hyena guy.
A few weeks later I was introduced to Second Life and I knew pretty quickly I didn't want my avatar to be a human (this is back when you could only start as a human, I think nowadays you can immediately start with a furry avatar) so I went to a store in game with a bunch of free furry avatars of different species. I saw there was a hyena one and picked that.
Fifteen years later, here we are and my main character is still a hyena.
Gotta flay if you wanna play.

Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute, it's a neat website showing design trends in advertising, packaging, print, etc throughout the years.
Dawn of War and its expansions are awesome, if you don't mind playing a game from two decades ago.
