I was going to post some snark about not putting it past humanity to find a way to set the ocean on fire too, but… wait that sounds familiar… oh yeah, we’ve fucking done it already!

“Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.”

- 74 million voters

Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.

Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.

We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”

All it takes is one ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.

I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.

I think previous poster is being critical of the moral high grounders that just sold the planet out, not actually supporting that shit.

SpongeBob “We did it, Patrick!” meme energy.

Looking at their comment history, they don’t appear to be a dipshit.

Fuck it. Sign me up.

For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?

Cuz I sure as fuck won’t be praying, but I’m not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.

We can’t even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.

We’re not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.

Lots of talk about which search engine to use; surprisingly little talk about extensions.

Block or Highlight Search Engine Results is my personal recommendation. Whichever SE you use, when you see a result that’s AI slop or a garbage website like Forbes, just add bullshit.com to the filter, set to hide, and you’ll never see that trash in a search result ever again.

Be diligent about it for a good week or so, and your search result quality will absolutely explode, whether your using Google, DDG, or several others.

Ya know, I thought we were talking YouTube specifically, but looking back at the OP it just says video, and I guess my brain just injected the word YouTube on it.

So, fair enough, if you’ve got a media service that isn’t run by a bunch of human shitstains, then yea support their work.

If it’s YouTube, don’t give em a cent.

uBlock Origin doesn’t accept donations. That’s the only product in this conversation worth supporting.

If you’re getting ads on videos, you need to get you shit together and install uBlock Origin asap.

/shrug. No insight on the effectiveness of the design; that’s just what’s in use now.

Nothing a little smoked paprika can’t fix.

Lol wut. Surgeons bitch when they’re wearing so much as a headlamp. A bulky-ass VR headset will never be a thing in the operating room beyond the odd techy doctor who’s in a VR infatuation phase.

The Davinci surgical robot has a VR headset kinda built into it so surgeons can see in 3D when they’re doing robotic assisted surgeries, but that’s not something they wear : it’s a little station they sit at and just lean forward into, no straps or weight or anything.

Yeah fair enough. I couldn’t even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically ‘if I die I die’, so I definitely get it.

But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

If I drive like a grandma I can get it just past 40. Actually hitting 42 would be pretty tough.

If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, so yeah that’s definitely a red flag.

The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.

Unsure if you mean the guy named John McAfee, or if you decided to name your turd and that’s what you landed on. There’s a solid case to be made for either!

I’m not a poop or perm expert.

So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn’t return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.

*edit - just to articulate the urgency here, GI problems can fuck you up in terms of discomfort - we’ve all been there - but some of them can kill you. Idk if any of the ones that can kill you are the same ones that change the smell of your shits, but that’s where the poop expert comes in.
