🚨 Ah yes, the riveting tale of "Molly Guard" - because nothing screams relevance like reminiscing about outdated tech anecdotes. 🙄 Let's all take a moment to marvel at how a kid pressing a button became tech lore worthy of... absolutely zero clicks. 📉

Ah, the Internet! Where every #clickbait headline promises #ancient #wonders but delivers only #JavaScript #errors 🤦‍♂️. Because clearly, what's more thrilling than a 3,000-year-old rock? Apparently, waiting for your #browser to load. 🕰️💻

The rectangular object dates to around 1350 B.C.E. and was likely created by members of the Central European Urnfield culture

I'm 99.9% sure I would have heard of the incident wherein a Plane Crashed into a Stadium Mid (what appears to be a) NBA Basketball game.

Youtube seems to be getting selective about who they let into the theater.

I do wish those who upload videos to youtube would also upload to peertube or other non-restricted fedi video server.

I guess the question is are they trying to inform or are they trying to grow their bank account? Doing both isn't likely to happen - the model just doesn't encourage both.

Generally, l'm not sucked into #clickbait or #rageBait, are you? Or are you the type of person that produces rage bait so as to increase advertising revenue?

Ep145 Why do we compulsively click on ragebait? with Angele Christin - Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman

Do algorithms shape our lives? What did clickbait look like before the internet? Why do journalists start writing differently when metrics are introduced? What does any of this have to do with cooking pasta in the bathtub, the actress  Sarah Bernhardt, or Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year? Join Eagleman with sociologist Angele Cristin to learn how algorithms invisibly sculpt our behavior.

Artikel: „E-Autos schaffen auf der Autobahn nur 250 km!“

Meine Realität:Balderschwang hin und zurück 300 km.2,5 °C.Autobahn + Schnellstraße.Start 416 km Reichweite.Geladen: 0.

Vielleicht sollte man weniger Schlagzeilen testen –und mehr Autos fahren.

Wir brauchen wirklich ein Gesetz gegen irreführende Schlagzeilen.

Ja, man kann von Menschen erwarten, dass sie Texte vollständig lesen. Aber die Realität ist: Viele tun es nicht. Schlagzeilen prägen Meinungen, oft stärker als der eigentliche Inhalt.

Wenn Schlagzeilen lügen, ist das kein Kavaliersdelikt.

Reisserische oder verzerrte Titel erzeugen Empörung, verstärken Vorurteile und verzerren Debatten, selbst wenn der Artikel selbst viel differenzierter ist.

Ohne diese Clickbait-Überschriften würden manche gesellschaftlichen Konflikte wahrscheinlich gar nicht erst so gross werden.
