I saw an interesting video about this. It’s outdated (from ten months ago, apparently) but added some context that I, at least, was missing - and that also largely aligns with what you said. Also, though it’s not super evident in this video, I think the presenter is fairly funny.

Fair enough.

NerdCubed is, or was, my favorite YouTuber. I don’t like his live streams as much, but he did play Tomba in one.

Didn’t NerdCubed recently play this?

They can get pretty big, but the ones I encounter are generally about the size of my big toenail.

In my childhood household, at all times, there were in-progress books on the back of the commode. You would simply select the one relevant to you.

Or long-click / long tap the back button.

That’s a shame, but I appreciate the edification!

Nice.

Back when I used Windows, the keyboard shortcuts I used the most were probably super+m (minimize everything), +d (show desktop), +r (show run dialog); in browsers, Ctrl+t (new tab), +shift+t (reopen most recently closed tab), +tab (switch between tabs); alt+tab (switch between windows), +space (open window menu, not sure what it’s called); shift+F10 (open context menu or, if in the installer process, open command prompt).

In Linux most of these work in most modern desktop environments, but super+r is usually alt+F2. Relatively recently I learned about alt+` which switches between windows of the same type. Don’t know if this also works in Windows. Also, I don’t know if one would consider it a key shortcut, but alt+click anywhere in a window drags the window so you don’t have to move the cursor to the title bar. Middle click usually pastes the last block of text you highlighted. Note that, due to the nature of Linux, none of these are guaranteed to work in every installation.

I have limited experience with OSX, but it seems like many of the shortcuts work if you replace the modifier key with the command key because Apple needs to be special.

If you’re on Windows or Linux, in most browsers you can press Ctrl+t and get a new tab. Maybe that would improve your day?

Oh, I had conflated the two! That makes sense.

Thanks for metaphorically having my back!

Nobody but you poops and that’s concentrated evil coming out the back of you.

(Trying to make an early Family Guy reference here, but all I can find on YouTube is Rick and Morty, so maybe I’m misremembering)

I was born with a deviated septum and, despite at least two surgeries attempting to repair this, have never recovered. I have almost no sense of smell.

For any food which has toppings durable enough to endure, I eat it upside down. Pizza and cake are prime examples. Why would you ever want the actual flavor hidden behind a thick layer of, in various forms, bread? The bread is the transportation medium, not the food. Don’t get me wrong, I love bread and carbs, but they’re not the appeal of most dishes.

This is exciting news, but the abbreviation makes me want to go to the Amigara Fault.

This is a video of a seal getting startled.

The human recording seems tedious, but I love the video nonetheless.

That’s a very relatable experience. You have my condolences.

Happy to spread knowledge!

McDonald’s has some incredibly rigorous requirements and processes to ensure consistent qualities in their Sprite. I have no interest in propping up a giant harmful corporation, but their Sprite really is different.

Random video discussing this: https://youtu.be/ATEMvaOcWWc

The Food Theorist and many others have made videos discussing it as well. A few months ago I saw a particular one explaining the McDonald’s process at length, but unfortunately I cannot remember enough details to find the same one again.

Side note: in typing this comment and trying to find relevant videos, I had to type “Sprite” an unreasonable number of times, and not once did my phone’s keyboard get it right.

Whether it’s cold or whether it’s hot, there will be weather, whether or not.

Not only is this true and annoying, but other things about the ads are getting worse, too.

I recently had to factory reset my TV and, after the first time I opened the YouTube app, immediately had to find the “don’t play video preview” option. It worked, except for the huge banner ad at the top of the list of videos, which still saw fit to play with deafening sound when I didn’t immediately change the video selection. I can’t find a setting to disable this.

Also, I’ve noticed the “fewer ads for this long video” message popping up during videos longer than thirty minutes (and now it seems like longer than twenty minutes). Not only is that message condescending like they’re doing me a favor, but I’m pretty sure it’s not true, at least not by much; and the ads are definitely longer and mostly unskippable.

Like someone else says in this thread, it feels like extortion.

Also acronyms, again depending on whom you ask. At least based on my own instincts and online searching.
