There was a film I saw on UK tv back in the 80s that had a poorly dubbed "muddy funsters" in it, I think it might have been Lethal Weapon.

Jake: You were outside, I was inside. You were supposed to keep in touch with the band. I kept asking you if we were gonna play again. Elwood: Well, what was I gonna do? Take away your only hope? Take away the very thing that kept you going in there? I took the liberty of bamboozlin' you, okay? Jake: You lied to me. Elwood: It wasn't a lie, it was just...bamboozlin'.

I think my favourite edited-for-TV censorship was the TV edit of Blazing Saddles (1974) where they replaced the fart noises in the bean-eating scene with belching. For some goddamn reason. And since there were no other edits, you have a bunch of cowpokes lifting up one leg and belching.

Mel Brooks tells he encountered a version where the sounds were just removed, making the scene strangely like some performance art as the cowpokes keep raising and lowering their butts in silence.

My favorite Total Recall on ABC. The scene where he goes to get the breif case from the phone booth and the woman tries to fight him for it. "gently caress you, you rear end in a top hat!" became "screw you, you steroid!"

One of the most bizarre TV-edits I saw was for Mallrats. It was on either Comedy Central or TBS I imagine. At the start, when Brodie is asking Quint if he ever farted in front of his girlfriend, then explains he did once while she was going down on him...they changed it to "throw up" instead of fart, and "making out with" instead of "going down on." I get changing the oral sex to just making out...but why change fart?! I mean...I sort of get they were going for; "Ok, farts come from the butt, near the dick...so we need a bodily function from the mouth, since we changed it to making out... we'll go with vomit! Perfect!" But 1) They still could have kept fart, and it would work. It would have worked just fine, because it would be considered rude by a lot of people to fart in front of them while you're making out. Especially if it's early in the relationship and it's literally the first time you farted in front of them. 2) If they insisted on changing it to a mouth-based bodily function, why not burp?

I found my old 120gb ipod classic... It hasn't seen the light of day in years and it still fired right up. It still sounds better than my phone in every way. I want to see how my car stereo works with it but the only USB is on the back. Next time I have a reason to rip the dashboard out I'll hook the old boy up. Does anyone know a good way that I could get the files off of it safely? The computer I used to transfer the files originally is long gone. I'd like to preserve it as a time capsule as well as retrieve what's on it

I still have mine at work hooked up to an ancient sound dock. It'll die pretty quick if you take it off and a lot of the song names have turned into four letter gibberish like "AXYW," disappeared completely or became jumbled out of order. I havent updated any music on it since about 2008, and I can't anymore since I don't have a desktop computer. Also I assume Apple Music has replaced iTunes anyways.

For whatever reason, american broadcasters and studios can still be super weird about farts. IIRC, speaking of Blazing Saddles, the bean fart scene was the one he got the most pushback over.

Who needs a selfie stick when you can just blast your camera up into the air?  https://twitter.com/yesterdaysprint/status/1591143728940457984?s=20&t=7C2eiPVOwCtuxrjZ9RxDmA

gun camera is total bullshit, there's no way that camera can take a decent shot while being flung up in the air. they definitely had tall ladders back then

Once a ladder gets above 12 feet the concentration of phlogiston would smother anyone foolish enough to dare climb that high!

A lot of analog computing was done with opamp circuits. You can build complex differential/integral (and other) math and it's very fast, but not flexible.
