That’s the journey I went on. The phrae “skibidi toilet” started happening around me, and so I looked up what it was, and I understood it immediately. It’s SFM Youtube poop. I was there 3000 years ago when that was invented, I remember nope.avi and pootis.

I find two things remarkable though: 1, SFM is still relevant after all these years and 2, they managed to wring a sci-fi story out of “stupid video about singing heads in toilets.”

I tend to buy straight from vendors. like I ordered some underwear straight from Hanes the other day.

At my school, there were obviously no left handed desks purchased, one which I guess had been broken was hastily remade into a left handed desk, the welds on the tubes were pretty obvious as were the original screw holes in what was now the top surface of the desk.

I usually had my textbook open on the desktop and I wrote on a clipboard on my knee.

The “desk” above looks like something out of an auditorium/lecture hall some of the schools I’ve attended had. It would be built into the fixed stadium seating and fold out. A more typical classroom thing would either be separate chairs and desks, or the “chair with a built-in desk that has a right-side armrest” kind of thing.

Brian Thompson was shot in the back and right calf, not in the head.

Also, is this meme about Guy Fawkes or is it about V?

Of the two I prefer Plasma. I strongly dislike Gnome. My absolute favorite DE is Cinnamon.

I had no idea anyone was actually making Welrods still. Marketing it as a “veterinary pistol” is certainly a choice.

Hold on, we have a check for outdated hardware for a mod of a 20 year old video game?

Now I want to make an oil-based spread and call it “The Product In This Container Is Absolutely Not Butter” and see how it sells.

I switched to oat milk simply because it lasts longer in the fridge. Cow’s milk is not designed for any kind of shelf life at all.

I have played through Factorio, I have also watched every video doshdoshington has made about it while cooking, doing dishes etc.

Well…

1. “Videos about gaming” don’t necessarily have to be gameplay footage. Reviews, promotional materials, discussions etc. count. Maybe even stuff like Viva La Dirt League’s content which is live action skits about video games.

2. Tutorials and walkthroughs exist.

3. Some vintage systems are difficult to get up and running or even find. For a lot of people it’s easier to just watch an enthusiast do it on youtube.

4. Especially on Twitch with streamers it’s as much about the player as it is the game.

5. Especially with esports or speedrunning it’s like watching a sporting event. Even if you like playing football too there’s something to watching the professionals play at the top echelons.

6. One can watch gaming videos while doing other things. When I was moving into my apartment in Greensboro I assembled my furniture while watching HCBailly play through the Gameboy Zelda games.

I was right, you’re a troll. Eat sand.

I remember reading about someone who listened to Popcorn for 24 hours and it had an effect on them.

15 different renditions of Popcorn.

Nope. My argument is not absurd because not using any of them is an option. You realize that’s a thing you can do, right? Give none of them your attention?

Okay, you have issues. Or are a troll. Or are a troll with issues.

I consider Twitter a dead platform because it is a nazi hellhole and I strongly recommend everyone just stop using it.

At this point though I do genuinely believe Facebook is worse because they’ve had a direct hand in at least one ethnic cleansing during my lifetime. Elon may quack like a duck but Zuckerberg swims, flies and waddles like a duck. I strongly recommend everyone just stops using Facebook and Instagram as well.

BUT ANYWAY, let me ask this: What’s stopping Elon Musk from buying Bluesky, badging it as X2 and doing the whole thing over again? Bluesky is currently a private for-profit company operating mainly on venture capital, just like Twitter was when it was a startup. It’s never going to support itself on its own revenue, that venture capital will eventually run out, there will be an IPO, it will suddenly be open to the whims of shareholders who will demand dark patterns and engagement at all costs and everything that has made the rest of the internet suck and they won’t care if their algorithms boost genocidal messages that erupt in widespread violence as long as their dividends come in.

It’s just a nope from me, and everything you will ever say will further convince me.

How many ethnic cleansings has Facebook been instrumental in? I can think of at least one in Myanmar.

Large commercial platforms being absolutely evil is NOT unique to Twitter. Again I challenge you to name me a large social media platform that didn’t either rot into a wasteland of scam bots or start committing atrocities.

Very bad people own almost everything and their solution to any rising star is to buy and ruin it.

Hell, I don’t want to adopt a platform that’s doomed to get as bad as Youtube let alone Facebook or Twitter. You’ve got to show me some low level structure that says “Here is why it can’t fall the way the last ones did.”

I don’t give a shit about the Bluesky stock you bought. Bluesky is doomed, don’t adopt it.
