If Youtube went down permanently the amount of culture lost would be akin to to the burning of the Library of Alexandria

Yeah, like the burning of the Library of Alexandria. There were a lot of lovely plays in there.

I take it back, the destruction of Youtube would be worse. We don't need another hundred plays about someone offending the gods and then at the end a god comes down and fixes it. We do need the videos of that guy who made a knife out of smoke.

A lot of those tool restoration guys are quite wholesome and relaxing. I once watched a 20-minute video on how to salvage old, rusty cast iron cookware. I do not own any cast iron.

There's tons of good wholesome YouTube content if you're willing to dig in. It's like a fractured version of broadcast television, most of the popular stuff is crap that is
mostly used as background noise for unscrupulous viewers but there are pockets of (usually highly focused and specific) quality. Even the infamous recommendation algorithm is actually pretty on point if you practice even a basic amount of hygiene in telling it what you do and don't like.

Though it is kind of funny that in only a few years YouTube has reached the channel drift stage so even relatively focused technical channels have started becoming a morass of reaction videos, let's plays, and the hosts eating weird snacks in a bid to drive more clicks.

From the trailers and marketing and everything, I remain confused about this movie. You know, with the historicity of it? It looks like they're trying to make Mary out as this freedom-fighting hero and Elizabeth as the tyrannical villain.

They were both Renaissance era monarchs and they both believed they should be queen because God said so. It's not like either of them were especially enlightened or forward-thinking women. Mary wanted to bring a Spanish fleet to conquer England in the name of the Catholic church and Elizabeth wanted to burn Catholics at the stake.

1. I will absolutely watch anything with Donnie Yen in it.

2. YouTube is a giant repository of knowledge. My dad gave me a very old and obscure-ish rifle and there was a two part YouTube video on disassembling and cleaning the rifle. Super useful stuff.

People always say "oh get one from a garage sale", but a new cast iron pan is like 15 dollars and literally cannot be destroyed by anything you could care to do it in a kitchen.

Yep. About the only way to kill it is via thermal shock that would cause a crack. Uneven heating or tossing a hot pan into cold water. In short, stupid poo poo.

But even then, you'd need to heat it up to like 700 degrees.

If any of you have seen the Academy Award winning Departures, the movie about a guy who takes a job preparing corpses for funerals and discovers the beauty and impermanence of life, it was written by the guy who would later invent Kumamon.

"Kuma" is Japanese for "bear." "Mon" is a suffix used as a short version of "monster" (ie Pokemon, Digimon, etc). Basically, his name means "bear monster."
