sci-hub has already been mentioned, but I will say that though it is not piracy, depending on the field, you can find free version "pre-prints" of papers on arxiv.org and socarxiv.org

Sorry to nerd out, but this reminds me of a senior grad student when I was a first year physics grad student. He was talking about the "order of magnitude" class that some professor was able to set up as a fun class for fulfilling his teaching requirements. It involved calculating or estimating order of magnitude values and putting them in units of something you can relate to (e.g. distance in terms of football fields, or your height, energy in an hour of air conditioning, etc.). In the spirit of this class, this guy used his dick for length and then came up with some other size unit to convert to for homework he had to hand in. The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is 5 * 10^19 of this guy's "dick units", apparently.

Is there something I am missing? I am using uBlock Origin on Firefox and Youtube works the same as always.
