Guy Hu is half French, half Chinese. Is this anything?
Northernlion goes full philosopher mode and defends Gen Z’s erroneous DoorDash habit, and explains why thinking about one’s own mortality should run in the back of your cranium 24/7. He also talks about why doing the dishes is a coming-of-age metamorphosis.
Context Cards pop up occasionally to explain words, references, or places that might not be clear if English isn’t your first language or if you just didn’t get the reference. Captions are also available for those who need or prefer them.

They're calling him the David Foster Wallace of clippers
I should get into plastics
Excited to see more edits from this channel specifically. I really like the editing style and the flairs!
i think hes having his mid life crisis LO
Im subscribing and boosting this channel to increase the competition in the clipping space for Egg's marketplace of ideas.
two videos and its already all bangers. keep it up
Why is egg yelling mmmm i'll turn you into breakfast
It's crazy watching NL as someone who doesn't know almost any of his film or pop culture references. Like he's screaming in rage about some thing I've never even heard of.
You guys have enough money to go see movies?
dude no way i dont have to look up something he says every other sentence
"A golden saucer for over 40s?" Isn't that just Miami?
"No disrespect to the Buddhist out there." The words that come out of this man's mouth are truly incredible.
Bureaucrat we will be watching your career with great interest.
Ngl, casually putting definitions under him when he says certain words is hilarious and weirdly helpful. I can't say I hate it. Carry on 😂
The champion of strawman
The footnotes are like a Metal Gear Solid codec call summarised in an image
I wish these dialogue boxes explaining expressions were normal in books
No its your fault
8:50 incredible how he uses "puss" and proceeds to describe the plot of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
I’d pay good money to see NL debate Caleb Hammer
watching this after accidentally ordering pickup instead of delivery and dont have a car and its a 40 minute walk so now im just gonna take a 7 hour nap at 1pm
I just cant believe were in 2026 and our leaders and wealthy are still fighting around like tribesman.
This system cant handle such an expansion of people
❤
7:39 fire
11:32 wait Tina Turner is a real person I always thought it was the genderbent version of Timmy Turner from Fairly OddParents
"The one that made the most sense"
So true, it got somehow implanted in my brain. What broke it completely is Kafka Metamorphosis.
Its just a giant cockroach. No expenation, no reason, no twist… It's just weird. And i picked up the dementia themes, but damn, the premise was so…. Good.
I love the edits
If you want to be remembered for thousands of years after your death, have you considered selling substandard copper?
The rant about blaming everything on the individual was something ive been trying to articulate forever everythings bad and its always your fault ok great thanks so insightful
I never would have understood he was saying "Ibiza" without that footnote tysm
i like how at the 6:00 mark he says sorry buddhists death dont work like that and then explains impermanence about a minute later
Okay but he was cooking with his dishes lecture, Im getting there man Im learning its okay
For now. When Gen Z is old they will be blamed for the current problems. And the cycle continues…
the coconut tree ult is one of my personal favorites
13:28 is very one must imagine Sisyphus happy coded
Holy macroeconomics
8:38 it's not that we don't care or are too cool to worry about death and the void we'll leave behind when we die, we just can't do anything about it so we focus on doing the things we want to do and do our best to be happy
4:45 but..SpiderVerse and PiB The Last Wish are goated films.. damn me for liking something genuinely cool
I didn't know NothernLion was based like that. Instantly subscribed!
6:50…
Nah, 12:00, I'm not against doing the dishes, I'm scared of doing the dishes.
I get that's prissy stuff, but I don't particularly deal with massive contrasts of temperature well, the point between lukewarm water and actually scalding water for me is no more than like… 10°C.
Outside of that, like, to properly wash a knife is like… knives are sharp, and it's always grabbing me by the nerves of "I twitch here and I might just lose a finger or something" like, that just sits there in my head, and I hate that.
Beyond that, washing glassware, you gotta be real careful with that kinda thing, 'cause you do that wrong and *pop*, thermal shock just explodes the cup in your hand.
Also, do love the lil context bubbles, please keep doing those, more people really should be using things like that
feels like buying a $20 edition of a classic book with a lovingly made translation
10:40 i feel like you starting the 'bait' definition with, "Twitch term" was in itself bait
