I dunno about recent youtubers but here’s a comedy sketch from the 90s

This guy is also famous

There was a recent video I saw explaining some Japanese memes (like how a guy ranting on a train got turned into a game) but I can’t find it rn–I’ll check again later

I’m astounded that in a gathering of fascists two people holding English and Irish flags can stand in the same vicinity of each other and not start throwing punches.

Happens with Japanese companies too, like Nikon. Also words that end in eh sound become ee, like karate and karaoke and sake.

I’d argue that Travolta’s scientology movie was cringier

Assonance is the repetition of identical or similar phonemes in words or syllables that occur close together, either in terms of their vowel phonemes (e.g., lean green meat) or their consonant phonemes (e.g., Kip keeps capes ). However, in American usage, assonance exclusively refers to this phenomenon when affecting vowels, whereas, when affecting consonants, it is generally called consonance.

Huh, TIL that the US uses a different definition than the rest of the world. I’d been wondering if you and I just had vastly different vowel pronunciations.

shocking Australia?

How tf does someone with a bajillion dollars look like a pile of wet garbage bags at 54? Aren’t they all supposed to be using lotions made from aardvark assholes and incubus foreskins to maintain immortality?

Good times, using pkzip to install Doom II from like 10 floppies I got from my friend. And then there’d be an error on disk 7 randomly, so you’d have to start over and hope nothing fucked up for no reason.

Are you trying to argue that twitter isn’t a shithole?

I checked one of those site traffic estimators and got 2 to 2.5 mil monthly views for 4chan vs 120 mil for twitter. So if every single 4chan user was a nazi, it would only take about 2% of twitter being nazis to equal that. Seems like there might be more nazis on twitter these days tbh.

The real question is why anyone would want to use more power than a regular search engine to get answers that might confidently lie to you.

Too late , Musky. Tim Apple laid the gold tribute at the feet of the orange idol, so now he gets to do whatever he wants.

Wait, wouldn’t it be legal for a country with legal weed to send it, just illegal go receive it in a jurisdiction where it’s illegal? Like if I lived in the Netherlands I couldn’t be arrested for mailing it to the US, but it’d get stopped at the border.

It’s not a contest

The march was supposed to end at the US consulate. But about 3pm NSW police sent out a mass text message to phones throughout the city ordering the pro-Palestine march to stop due to safety concerns, with authorities turning protesters around at the north end.

Uh huh, “safety concerns”. And what, the cops can just broadcast to people’s phones? Oz is such a nanny state.

Some of them are, but a few others feel like rehashing old themes without adding much. Still mostly worth watching imo

Anyone see the newest Black Mirror season?

When they say “This is a PEN!” the plosive sounds they use are so aggressive that it heats up the air around them. Honorable nippongo doesn’t contain such violent sounds, so clearly this heat is due to the gaiks.

I love how they just make things worse indiscriminately now. Like you’d expect that if a company turns evil, they make things worse for profit, but google often doesn’t even care about that and makes everything worse randomly.

The clearest example I have is the maps app, which used to let you tap once to clear the search and directions bars off the screen. They removed that in one update for absolutely no fucking reason, so now a third+ of the screen is blocked at all times. If that space displayed ads or something at least I’d get that they were making an app shittier for profit, but nowadays more often than not everything just seems to be shitty because they don’t give a fuck anymore.

The .world domain appears to be unblocked, at least on some of the test sites.
