  I asked for a description of the video and its content, and the OP refused to actually answer.

  I’ll watch the video if you’ll confirm it’s not an attempt to attack CRISPR technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Genetic Arms Race | How CRISPR and AI Destroy the World - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I take it from your non-answer that it’s exactly what I suspected.

  For the record, CRISPR is an amazing technology that is producing potential gene therapies for otherwise-untreatable illnesses. Just yesterday, Nature published an article detailing a promising treatment for HIV.

  And fear mongers would try to scare terminally ill people away from treatments like that.

  So no, I will not just “scroll on by” when I see something that tries to make people mistrust the medical science that could save their lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Genetic Arms Race | How CRISPR and AI Destroy the World - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, just so I’m completely clear on this, are they a) claiming that CRISPR is some kind of danger to the world, or b) debunking such claims about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Genetic Arms Race | How CRISPR and AI Destroy the World - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. I haven’t watched Ancient Aliens, either.

  Let me make a wild guess: You’re also anti-vaccine, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Genetic Arms Race | How CRISPR and AI Destroy the World - YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  CRISPR saves lives and ends genetic disorders.

  That’s the point at which I lost it. What a legend.

  Oh, Drawfee is definitely worth watching. Damn near pissed myself during the Orbeez bit.

  Now that is a motherfucking website.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Why Wikipedia is the Last Good Website⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we will, I’ve been pretty happy so far with the lemmy community not putting up with the Nazis. (Defederating from lemmygrad was a fantastic move, for example.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution of Dance (YouTube Most Watched, circa 2006)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for clarifying. I’ll have to think about it, but at first blush, I’m completely in agreement with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Evolution of Dance (YouTube Most Watched, circa 2006)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In defense of YouTube…

  The thing is, you absolutely can still find stuff like that. The trick is to search for stuff you like, and train YouTube’s algorithm to find more stuff like it. I’ve got mine trained enough that my feed mostly consists of stuff I actually do want to watch.

  Some of it is from “content creators,” yes (although nothing from the well-known ones), but a lot of it is just random things I happen to have an interest in.

  Okay, that said, YouTube’s default feed can suck my hairy scrote. It’s astoundingly bad.

  So, here’s the deal… We’ve all been spelling it wrong for this entire time.

  In the Gummyverse, the bears really are bear-sized. They’re legit. You wouldn’t want to fight one, no matter how squishy they look. They’re apex in their domains.

  But…

  What we have been mistakenly calling gummy “worms” are on another level entirely. They are mystic, ancient, and quite eldritch. If you find yourself in the Gummyverse, you do not want to run into these things. They’re not worms.

  They’re wyrms.
