JACOB SOBOROFF: Hey, it's Jacob.
Today, we're throwing colors, we're kayaking backwards,
and fishing with grizzlies.
The biggest pop star in Italy right now is a nun.
This is Sister Cristina on the Italian version of "The Voice."
It is the most watched video in Italy right now.
It's got over 24 million views.
[MUSIC - SISTER CRISTINA]
This was posted right after it aired last week.
And yes, I wondered, too.
She is definitely a real nun.
Even Alicia Keys herself posted a comment-- "Now,
that's what beautiful, pure energy looks like."

If you don't speak Italian, turn on
closed captioning to get the full effect in English,
and subscribe to their channel to see how far she goes.
LIZZIE: I love makeup blogs.
But every time I try to follow their instructions for, like,
an autumn ombre, smoky eye, I end up
looking like I've just been punched in both eyeballs.
Thankfully, Akilah Hughes, AKA Smoothiefreak,
just posted the most realistic makeup tutorial
the world has ever seen.
AKILAH HUGHES: OK, so yeah, this is my face without makeup.
I'm sorry, all right?
Just smush it in your fingers, and then rub it
into your little pores.
Yeah.
Yeah, look at all those dark spots going away.
It's going to be really even.
Oh, get some in your hair, too.
That's mandatory.
We're going to set it with this powder.
It's Ben Nye powder that you use from the "Rocky Horror"
production at your college.
Great.
Awsh-- get it in your eyes.
LIZZIE: Akilah's actually a social-media guru by day,
and an awesome comedy blogger by night.
Head over to her channel for more.
But be warned-- you may lose an hour or two.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Have you ever wondered
what it would be like to get gently gnawed
on by a grizzly bear?
Well, you're in luck, because last spring, bear specialist
and wildlife photographer Brad Joseph strapped his camera
to a rock in Alaska, and he captured this.
It was just reposted by GoPro, and it's
gotten over 500,000 views in just a few days.
I do have one, tiny bone to pick with you, Brad.
Either the bear didn't really eat the GoPro,
or you have not posted the most interesting part of this video.
MILES: I think it's safe to say that most people who
grew up in a van down by the river
don't end up world-champion athletes,
but Dane Jackson didn't get that memo.
This guy's only 20 years old, and he's already
won more world titles than most kayakers do
in their entire career.
DANE JACKSON: I was born three months premature.
And my dad already had hearing problems,
so I got that from him.
I've been deaf pretty much my whole life.
I'm very lucky to be able to have my main sport and passion
to be kayaking, and kayaking also be my job
and what I do for a living.
MILES: After watching that, you're probably
asking yourself, did he just go down that waterfall backwards?
Yes, he did.
Now, go share.
JACOB SOBOROFF: First it was Friendster, then Myspace, then
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
Now, slow-motion, night footage of an adult male deer running.
AARON VAUGHN: Studies show that more and more teenagers
are leaving Facebook.
But where are they going instead?
The comments section of this YouTube video of a deer
running in slow motion.
But why the major social-media shift?
MADISON SHAW: It's just where all my friends are.
I go check under the deer to see funny pictures my friends are
posting, or to see if anyone's throwing a party.
I met my boyfriend under the deer.
Hey, deer me later.
JACOB SOBOROFF: My favorite part about this
is that somebody actually posted this slow-motion deer video,
and it's been getting thousands of comments since Thursday.
Some of my favorites?
Anyone else thinking of growing rhubarb this year?
Who else is going to Jessica's party tonight?
Going to be crazy!
Head on over the deer, and downvote my comment,
because it is so stupid.
D. HAMSTER: Hey, everybody.
This is D. Hamster, from Jerk Circle Media.
Today you're going to learn about the wizards who
disassemble your Oreos.
MALE SPEAKER: Oreos-- a vital part
of any nutritious breakfast, but did
you know that some companies harvest them for raw materials?
Wizards collect the cookie extract, and shovel them
into a large tank.
At this point, the water is extracted for use in rivers.
Now it's time to harvest.
Workers use vacuum bags to extract ***, gunpowder,
cocoa, and sugar from the [? powder. ?]
These cookies truly are the eighth wonder of the world.
JACOB SOBOROFF: Thanks, D. Hamster.
I'm so glad that I now finally understand
what happens to all those unwanted cookies.
Don't forget, guys, this Saturday is Earth hour,
so all week long, we're going to be collecting videos
about how to have fun without using any electricity,
whatsoever.
All you got to do is post a link with the hashtag YouTubeNation.
Until tomorrow.
Links are below, playlists are about to come up,
and if you want some more of Jimmy, you better subscribe.
JIMMY: Subscribe!
JACOB SOBOROFF: Now, play us out, Samsaya.
