This is a link post Shed of the year 2026 is open for entry - We are 20 years old this year as well I made this!
20 years ago, I had been lurking on B3ta for 3 years, 6 months and 21 days.

But I had also started a small online contest called "Shed of the Year", It started out slow, but then it got crazy for a few years when it was on the telly (more sheddies for the streaming media, I say). Now it's back where it belongs, online.

Anyway it's open for entries again; we have some new categories and a new sponsor.,

Entry closes on the 31st. May 2026 - Lots of prizes

Thanks.

Andrew Wilcox
(Founder & Head Judge, Shed of the year)

This is a normal post australian 60 minutes don't exactly have the best record going to air with science scare stories
I had a look at the study the bloke who was pushing his book was quoting. it said "it is difficult to determine whether social media use prior to data collection caused these distinct neural trajectories or preexisting differences in neural activation placed some youth at risk for more habitual checking behaviors".
Basically it didn't know whether it was looking at cause or effect, that people who like dopamine hits exhibit over-checking behaviour, or that behaviour makes the brain more sensitive to reward pathways.

yeah, I reckon there's still a way to go with the research about migraines and treatments, like with a lot of noggin science. we've managed to map the neural connections of roundworms. a fair effort as each of their neurons has about 30 connections. unfortunately they've got 92 neurons. We've got almost a 100 billion, and each one of ours about 8000 connections each.

This is a normal post There's still a scarcity of research due to funding, but a growing body of evidence of psilocybin (mushies) as effective in headache/migraine frequency and severity reduction
both in long term and, less practically, as an analgesic after acute onset. And it seems to be in quite low doses, rather than that would make you trip balls
might be worth investigating if you've tried other methods, though bear in mind it's a prohibited substance

There's raw videos on his channel.

The audio on this one has reverb on it, but I think that's all.

Everything he's doing involves known beatboxing techniques, he's just very very good at them.

He's in the same league as other world class beatboxers (e.g. check out ones called Wing and Hiss) but better, at least I reckon.

I'm telling you frankly he's using a lot more than that. Possibly something like Antares Kantos, or a much more modern equivalent. Probably a digital guitar FX rack with built in looper. Probably all set up in a DAW or modular environment like Plogue or MAX.

Show me a recording where I can see the equipment he's using, or a video where he has no equipment. No mic, even.
