Truly a masterpiece of technical communication! Mind blowing to think about how much work went into this video.

She made the animation library used to make the presentation https://acegikmo.com/shapes/ How much work indeed!
So. Much. Work. And really well done. I loved the discussion on geometric continuity, starts at around 28 minutes in.
All very calm and cool until "it yeets off into fucking wherever" on C2 continuity. I LOLed at that.
Haha that one caught me way off guard, yeah. Hilarious, but went from a school-safe video to not in 0.1 seconds.
I think the criteria for "school safe" should be changed to accommodate something like this. My high-school kid taught me the word "yeet" and they are all familiar with the F-word enough to be cool with tasteful occasional use like this.
Oh yeah I totally agree; this would make an excellent school video. The swearing might even make the kids more likely to watch. (Actcually my oldest already watches Freya.) My high schoolers throw yeet at me all the time, and they don’t care about swearing at all. Not only is it ubiquitous on TikTok and YouTube, they have a friend with Tourette’s that would make most gangsters blush. Sadly, the school district still would never allow it, probably most places, and I live in a city with more religious parents than a lot of places… c’est la vie.
see this is where I can simply ask them to pay the educational license fee for the censored version of the video
