- Comment on The Famed 1967 Bigfoot Film Was an 'Incredible Hoax,' Says the Director of a Groundbreaking New Documentary 5 hours ago:
This came out during an interesting time in history. We went to the moon just a couple years later! Technology was exciting, things were happening. Trying to put myself into the shoes of an average person back then, I’d say it’s totally believable. We have the benefit of hindsight and a more digital world to easily see it’s fake.

I’d sure hope that the latest generation of a technology would be considered safe. That’s generally how things work. And then when accidents occur, we learn and make things safer the next time.
As to them considering it completely safe, I’d love to read about that if you have sources. Cause I doubt that they thought it couldn’t fail.

Chernobyl happened through the incompetence of leadership, not because they thought it was “completely safe”.

The shots are way too consistent to be AI. If it was AI, we’d expect background details to change between each one. This feels like a high quality robot chicken production

There’s two punchlines, not one. The obvious one is the “inappropriate” joke, the second is the person on the right actual hoping for something naughty and being disappointed it was just a play on words.
Not saying it’s a great second punchline, but that’s how I’m seeing it
- Comment on Search results for “megusta”. 1 week ago:
You’re correct, it is the name of a specific meme. But they didn’t search for the meme, they searched for a general phrase. Without adding the qualifier of ‘meme’, there’d be no reason to bring it to the front.

Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.
- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 5 weeks ago:
unskippable ads on CPR instructional videos
Funnily enough, this is an actual example they use in one of their ad skits!
Video is time-stamped at the ad, but the whole video is pretty great (if it happens to be your type of humor)
- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 5 weeks ago:
At its core, I don’t mind if someone wants to let me know about their product. Unfortunately we’re in an age where it’s absolutely in our faces all the time and pushed with the most brain-rotting algorithms, and they’re absolutely horrendous. Every once in a while though I’ll still find ads that I enjoy, mainly YouTube creators who don’t just read scripts, but put in effort to make something worth watching.
I’ll always point to ‘TomSka and Friends’ (TomSka being the creator of the ASDFmovie series) as being decent ads; each one is a full skit and I actually enjoy those ads because they put in the effort.

True, trying to burn airplanes to run cruise ships would definitely be inefficient

Alton Brown’s enthusiastic and educational way he did the cooking show helped bring home cooking to a lot of people. For me, we watched it in my middle school’s cooking class

Store Wars is so iconic, I love introducing it to people
- Comment on I was there... 2 months ago:
Legitimate question, why do people keep typing “where” instead of “were”? Many typos are understandable where letters that are next to each other accidentally get swapped, but you have to go out of your way to put the h in there.

Someone’s bad attempt at stealing content. It’s cropped in the lower right, but this is Amaury Guichon, who is known for his over-the-top chocolate and sweets displays. I love his work and his videos, but this is a sad compilation (Funny on its surface because haha funny shapes)

Rubbing alcohol on a towel, clorox if it’s something gross. Wipe where needed, don’t let anything soak. Small pick-like tools for ports
- Comment on Tawny Newsome Gives Update On Live-Action Star Trek Comedy – “We’re Ready!” 2 months ago:
This is jumping off the back of Lower Decks, the animated series that ran for a few seasons and was pretty popular. Tawny, who I believe is spearheading this new show, played one of the main characters in Lower Decks.

Taking I-5 into Vancouver from Portland is always horrific. Once you get over the bridge it always clears right up! A big part of that is all the on ramps. There’s so many of them! So everybody is having to make way every 10 feet for someone merging in.
It’s horrendous.
