A streamer has turned attending his online classes into a comedy challenge – and he’s leaving viewers in stitches as he logs in from increasingly bizarre locations.
Austin, who is studying computer engineering and streams in his free time, said it all started when a classmate dared him to ask a question during a lecture from outside a Walmart.
Since then, the 22-year-old has joined lectures from inside a McDonald’s, a bathroom, and even the side of a road – much to the amusement of his followers.

His antics eventually caught the eye of his professor, who emailed to say the jig was up.
But instead of shutting him down, the teacher encouraged Austin, calling it a creative endeavour – as long as it stayed safe and legal.
“A fellow classmate recognised me from my streams and jokingly told me to ask my next question outside of a Walmart,” Austin told What’s The Jam.
“I started thinking about taking it seriously and it snowballed from there.
“One video blew up so much that one of my international students recognised me and forwarded my professor the video.

“We’ve since had some correspondence over email and he’s told me that he likes the idea as long as I keep it safe and legal.”
The Florida native’s biggest viral clip, attending class from the side of a highway, has racked up 12.3 million views, 908,000 likes and 1,955 comments.
Fans have been quick to share their admiration.

One person said: “This man’s dedication is truly inspiring.”
Another said: “Online classes are specifically so that you don’t have to sit in a room… learn on your terms!”
While one person added: “God forbid someone uses a bit of their free will.”
Viewers have also pitched hilarious ideas for Austin’s next stunts.
One person said: “Do it in IKEA so they think it’s a normal room.”
Another said: “At home, but everything in the background is upside down.”
Austin revealed he has a couple more classes left this year, and already has a plan for his next lecture.
He said: “I’m planning on attending class from a beach for the next day.
“There’s one more class after that, and I currently don’t have any plans.
“I’ll probably take a look at my comments and pick one of their ideas – as long as it isn’t too morally or legally questionable.”
