HOW YOUR TECH IS LYING TO YOU: the volume control is logarithmic so it feels perceptually linear
real weird way to start a video with this
i saw this thumbnail and i thought "bro is not gonna make a whole video essay about how logarithms exist right" but that's what he did (well, at least a minute of it. i am not watching the rest)
did the algorithm wake up today and decide that it was going to serve me its strongest potions
is this a threat
it's really funny that our work VPN alternates termination between the UK, Ireland, Romania and Kenya, which fucks the ad bidding algorithm up severely
not entirely sure why the ad algorithm is this convinced that I am in the UK and dying
oh no this is kind of actually a thing I would want to buy
what the Fuck are you trying to tell me, advertising algorithm
ONE job
a bit meta, innit
I suppose it is true that the target audience for people who might want to install an ad blocker is the people who are currently seeing ads
buy eggs on ebay
if you want to buy very large eggs, maybe you could try amazon instead
"micro-weddings"
buddy. bro. like. people of marriageable age just don't have money or if they have money, don't feel like they can spend large amounts of it rather than putting it aside to save for potential future catastrophes or old age

I am once again asking what The Algorithm is trying to tell me
??????
so how much is it. how much do i need

uhhh

that's a wee bit ominous

it's just GOING right now

is this because I keep looking at (though not clicking lol) the cursed ads only so it gives me more of those

I've been wondering about this
i don't know much estonian but I know enough estonian to find this at least slightly funny
I wonder, if you know a ton of languages, do you just walk the world constantly amused at a word in language A meaning a funny thing in language B

Insulting Noodle Reference
apparently, the Insulting Noodle Reference is specifically a banner put up by the power company headquarters (in response to criticism of some kind from residents? I guess?), reading "You enjoyed the free noodles provided by the Wolsong Headquarters during the cherry blossom marathon, didn’t you!", which yeah actually that is pretty insulting
nice try trisolaris
if I was in the UK and anywhere near The Donkey Sanctuary, this ad might get me
yeah they don't drive without one and driving is sort of the whole point of them
there's so many things here
* Who the hell buys lobsters on ebay
* This isnt even the right ebay for my region
* The text just cuts off
* The illustration shows a gopro and some camera drone?
* Also two weird emblems? coins??
* And everything is weirdly off center, there's just nothing to the left, as if someone randomly cut this from a larger image???
@halcy are you even legally allowed to sell what is effectively livestock on ebay?
@halcy uhh duh. how else are you planning to find maine lobsters if not with a camera drone

@electrocutie I can if I choose to do so support local donkeys! Or support the donkeys in my hometown! did that for a while! I think I will leave the UK donkeys to people there!

@halcy oh no.

would you like The Lore™ on The Donkey Sanctuary? because there sure is some lore.

@gsuberland Oh No

What is the lore. Am I about to find out Zena is not real

@halcy they are, by a wide margin, the richest charity in the UK. they used to run donkey exhibitions at beaches known for a high elderly tourist populations and convince them to sign over their assets in their wills. at one point they had so much money that when you divided by the number of donkeys in their care it was more than a million pounds each.

@halcy

In the early 80's a significant part of the available impetus to the unskilled economy was the financing of Donkey Sanctuaries in the Community Program, some of them even existed.

@halcy He wants to hold our hand?
@halcy yeah
