Okay here we go again. What are the odds.
I start talking trains and this guy (I'm subbed to him) just uploads
a video about a Nuclear Powered Train

[chuft]

The odds are high because you've been watching train videos and the algorithm recommends more.

[boredjedi]

Not the algorithm I'm subbed to him and got the notification and posted it right after watching it.

[boredjedi]

Film/Color Technology. I already knew this but some of you probably don't.
We've come a long way from the early B&W days.

You can skip from 3:00 - 5:20 in video sponsored ad

Culture

In Japan, they have these 'Pikachu breakout' events. Where a bunch of Pikachus and sometimes Eevees would parade through Yokohama Japan.

A short video about ai on Spotify. I would say it's well put together (especially for a first time Youtuber), definitely worth watching if you're interested

[Fairy-Possum]

chuft likewise

[possessor]

We should boycott AI!

[Fairy-Possum]

@possessor I wish I had the same enthusiasm as you haha... But if you plan a boycott I'll have your back

Bald faced hornets

[chuft]

Are you sure they aren't cicadas. Those can cause hearing damage if you get too close to one.

[chuft]

It's weird if I go on youtube looking for cicada sounds videos they all sound different from each other lol.

[boredjedi]

No they are crickets. But there's so many of them this season. Probably due to all
the rain and lush fauna. It's not a loud noise but a constant cricket sound in the background
you can't escape from heh. Until you exit the park.

I did rather miss the Lightning bug season which is usually around the beginning of summer.

Tech History and instructional video 😄

[chuft]

A flashback to childhood - someone putting dog doo in the coin return....

[boredjedi]

Ewww never ran into that one. Bubble gum occasionally yeah.

Business History 101

6:39 - 7:08

[chuft]

It's odd that the "buy everything in one place" worked for Walmart and Target but has crashed and burned for department stores like Sears, JC Penney etc.

[boredjedi]

Since school year has officially started, get cracking students!!!!

[possessor]

You 'mericans, so lucky. You've got Wendys, and three month long summer holidays! I get six weeks!

[Play_z]

Apparently, Australia is meant to get a Wendy’s soon but Idk when

An old favorite of mine

I am skeptical of that 8 year old video.

"We’re living in a brief window of time where our planet isn’t frozen underneath a giant layer of glaciers."

That's just not true.




Ice ages with major glaciation make up a very small minority of the Earth's timeline. The dinosaurs lived for 165 million years in a row without one.


We are in a positive feedback loop now for warming, the opposite of what he said. As more and more ice melts, less and less sunlight is being reflected back into space and the heating accelerates. The heat is already increasing faster than all the climate scientists predicted, which is troubling. We are getting stronger and earlier hurricanes than ever before in recorded history. The temperature of the ocean is really high. Disease carrying mosquitoes once considered tropical are now infecting people all over the US. There are towns in the northeast where it is now not advised to go outside after dark due to disease carrying mosquitoes.

The disaster is already happening and the effects are easiest to see when you look at insurance companies. Whether it's floods from enormous amounts of rainfall, wildfires, hurricanes, or tornadoes, they are getting hammered.

Note these aren't even coastal states.





The trend is rapidly getting worse.






People I work with are already seeing their rates triple, some are paying $11,000 a year for homeowner's insurance on relatively modest homes (1,100 square feet).


If this continues, homes will become uninsurable, which will make mortgages impossible to get, and if something happens to your house, you will not have insurance to give you the money to rebuild it. Unless you are rich, you will just become homeless. Note you would still owe any amount left on the mortgage.


I have feeling climate change deniers are latching onto things they don't understand and trying to make it sound like what we are experiencing now is normal or cyclical. It isn't.

More Earth science

Who'd have thought a video about bricks would be this interesting
