  • This is an update video from Tom Scott, for those who don't see a thumbnail.

  • Cool stuff.

  • Upvotes and downvotes aren't a "I like/dislike this" button, they're meant to highlight comments that are contributing positively and constructively to the discussion, showcase insightful comments, or to filter out irrelevant content.

    YDI for misusing the buttons.

  • Dangerous chemicals used in detention centers primarily housing people of certain ethnic backgrounds? I feel like I've read this before.

    Edit: Holy shit, this makes me furious.

    “Various Plaintiffs had nosebleeds or found blood in their mouth and saliva. Others had debilitating headaches or felt dizzy and lightheaded,” the lawsuit stated. “GEO staff sprayed when people were eating, and the chemical mist would fall on their food. GEO staff sprayed at night, on or around the bunk beds and cells where people slept. And on at least one occasion, GEO staff sprayed individuals as a disciplinary measure.”

  • What's crazy is that all I really want out of a social platform is 2010's Facebook. That was perfect. I was keeping in touch with friends and staying updated with their lives. I want that back so bad.

  • Do you have a license for those litmus strips, citizen?

  • Police have always been afraid of cameras and their operators.

  • Fun fact: The synthetic blood in True Blood's lore was also made by Japanese scientists.

  • knowing that you gotta call Customer Service to get the car to stop in case of emergency is pretty bad design, safety wise.

    You don't. He didn't want to push the button, himself, because he expected customer service to do something different. But there's a button on the screen right in front of him, as well as in his app, that will make the car immediately pull over and unlock the doors. You can hear the rep trying to direct him to push the button, and he refuses because he wants to be stubborn for his video.

  • I dunno, man. They've not just been saying the quiet parts out loud lately, they're screaming them.

  • Because nobody's brave enough to do the right thing.

  • In that case, I'm doom working right now.

  • It's a little weird that they write it as "Billie Eilish's brother Finneas". Isn't he a fairly well-known musician on his own?

  • Guys, this is another one of that dude's humiliation-kink accounts. He keeps making new posts with new accounts, it's all the same guy. You may remember him having small feet, or an engorged stomach. Don't engage with him.

  • Well... yeah. That's not what LLMs do. That's like saying "A leafblower got absolutely wrecked by 1998 Dodge Viper in beginner's drag race". It's only impressive if you don't understand what a leafblower is.
