Diabolical. I’m at least holding out hope that, at some point, children’s TV character Arthur Read and talk show host Conan O’Brien cowrote for the Finnish broadcaster Yle – else why would it be advertised on the covers of those books?

Hippeas cheese puffs or the like. Cheetos are made of cheetahs, which would therefore be cannibalism, while Hippeas are made of hippos, a great source of protein for your guest.

Okay, please explain this one:

A new meta-analysis is now feeding the debate over whether modern childhood has become too managed.

Actual meta-analysis published online May 2023 and in a journal August 2024. Article likewise uses a slop thumbnail, titled child-playing-alone-outdoors-independence-resilience-768x432.jpg.

It’s just a shitty (plausibly LLM-generated) content mill. Nobody working on this site actually gives a shit.

Here’s the study. Whoever made that AI horseshit for this popsci representation of the remains should be fucking ashamed. (And why the hell is this content mill slop being published six months after the paper?)

the crew decided to record a parody of those bad 80s sitcom intros where everyone turns and smiles at the camera

That’s 100% fair; I wasn’t meaning to imply public domain means “you should never credit it”. I should’ve been more clear that I was just adding a neat tidbit rather than criticizing the good practice of citing sources (albeit done here superfluously for comedic effect).

And I agree. There’s nothing copyrightable to steal.

The open-access Nature Microbiology article since I wouldn’t trust a Gizmodo author to correctly diagnose a skeleton with death.

I’ve had the Unhook extension for years, and YouTube’s decision not to make Shorts hideable was the catalyst. I still won’t uninstall it because it gets rid of a bunch of YouTube’s other trash, but this is at least moves the needle so it’s no longer unthinkable to uninstall it.

Boy, if you had a loaf of bread for every time you’ve called somebody a “halfwit”, you might have enough for Kim Jong Un to take and eat for himself while the working class starves.

The year is 2030. The leaders of the US, China, Cuba, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, etc. walk onto the stage and take a bow, revealing this was all an elaborate display to frighten the world into a rapid switch to renewables.

TIL of the Maraca Cracker.

Just wanted to cut through the bullshit and remind myself that when they said I think “all sides bad and ignore geopolitical context”, they were definitely also referring to among the most reprehensible authoritarian regimes on Earth that they support.

Like it’s some ridiculous, hand-wavey stance to think the US and North Korea (and obviously Iran, but that doesn’t fully illustrate how depraved their worldview is) are simultaneously bad.

Sounds a lot like: “We broadly support North Korea, but that’s too embarrassing to say directly, so we’ll just shitpost about it like a neo-Nazi would when asked a direct question about their abhorrent beliefs – afraid of frightening away the normies by revealing their ‘power level’.”

It’s comforting to me that you have to carry the level of shame that your beliefs are unspeakable in spaces dominated by sane people – and are barely even speakable in this deranged hellhole for fear that your monstrous beliefs will surface above the irony poisoning and scare away the few people with functioning consciences who stumbled into this from the front page.
