I love that two drums and a cymbal video. It’s amazing how perfect it turned out.

Dont forget Steve Mould
Could be an A/B test and you’re lucky to be in the control group.
There’s nothing about dislike in “homophagic”. “homo-” means “same” (“hetero-” means “different”), the root “phag” means “to eat” (compare “sarcophagus”, which literally means “flesh eater”).
I’m partial to Trick NOR Treat
Can you unpack that one for me? I have zero idea of what you’re talking about other than Todd Howard being an executive of Bethesda.
Teddy Roosevelt opted not to shoot a bear that someone caught for him to shoot (because it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel; iirc the bear was immobilised). The press at the time got hold of this story, turned it into a story about pity/mercy (neither applied, the bear was killed anyway, just not by getting shot by Roosevelt) and an enterprising individual made a toy based on it, which became more popular than expected.
The popularity of the toy was also a boost to Roosevelt’s popularity, which is why at least one presidential candidate at the time tried to get something similar going for himself, but possums just aren’t cuddly and a copy of a popular thing rarely manages to reach the heights of popularity the thing it tries to copy got.
Based on the highlighting they did, I believe their theory is that “livejournel” didn’t work because it should have been “livejournal” with an “a” and you presumably made the same typo all the time.
Might be app- or instance-dependant. I’m using Liftoff.
For those who want to know, that makes Xitter sound like halfway between Sitter and Shitter.
As an English speaker you can try to make that sound by saying the Y in YEET and paying close attention to how exactly your tongue is positioned and where in your mouth the air is being constricted. Then try to position your tongue as if you want to say “yeet” or “yes” again, but make an S sound at exactly the same constriction point where you made the Y sound before. If you’re successful, it should sound like a hybrid between S and SH to your English ears.
That’s how I make it anyway, actual Mandarin speakers might find issue with my explanation.
I’ve got an unhealthy amount of hours and money (games, DLC) invested in various Paradox games because I once pirated EU3 on a whim.
My Steam Library now contains CK2 with most gameplay DLC, CK3 with most gameplay DLC, EU4 with all gameplay and content DLC, Stellaris with most gameplay/content DLC, HoI4 with most gameplay DLC, Sengoku, and other Paradox games that aren’t grand strategy like Magicka 1&2.
And both my hours in CK2 and EU4 are in the 4 digit realm, though admittedly that includes times where I played in bed, fell asleep and the respective game kept running.
Your spoiler tag failed
I remember that in the days before I got a gmail invite, I very quickly learned to use Thunderbird for emails.
I heard a story and saw a photo of a literally frozen router (as in, partially submerged in ice) before. Didn’t expect a literally (deep)fried one too.
Is that website something like The Onion for games?
Careful: it doesn’t work if there’s a user account with the same name
Yes, but there’s context about why I asked
In this regard, I’m probably part of the old folks. I’m older than the WWW at least. I just figured I’d try asking ChatGPT with context instead of Google because I didn’t want something I suspected to be Nazi terminology in my search history.
I was just surprised by how differently it reacted compared to when I tested it with alt history scenario requests a few months ago.
