Specifically JerryRigEverything, as I'm far too familiar with the Utah/Mormon prepper cults that are so prevalent right now. He plays it off as a quirky fun project, but it is absolutely prepper poo poo. I don't know what the story is behind the bunker trend in other countries/cultures (Colin Furze in the UK, some other crazy lady on TikTok,) but in the western US it is absolutely right-wing conspiracy/prepper/judgement day poo poo that people either start at, or fall into.

I mean, they're pretty cool providing the person isn't obviously going that route, I'm a queer rear end leftist and the idea of having just a super basement living space is something I'd be down for.

All the clutter unrelated to your search can be removed from Youtube's search results with an addon like Customtube. That one can revert some other UI changes too. I went looking for tweaks after they messed up the /subscriptions page this year, and it's mostly been working well. Having smaller thumbnails and less clutter makes me use the site a lot more than their zoomed-in endless scrolling revamp does

That's what it does on bad/cheap microwaves. On fancier ones it actually uses a sensor of some kind to detect the perfect time to stop cooking the popcorn, as the video explains.

I find bunkers kind of appealing, or at least interesting. I guess it might come from some deep seated fear of nuclear holocaust, which is at least somewhat plausible in comparison to religious and political conspiracies.

Not enough to buy into the grift, though.

I like 70s things, so I enjoyed the music and sets/costumes, but I much prefer hearing the guy drolly reading out a script. I can appreciate the ambition of what he’s doing here though, and that he got it just how he wants it. It reminds me of the Kyle Kallgren video that’s the entire story of Star Wars but with clips from movies that inspired things in Star Wars.


Mr E posted:

I can appreciate that EPCOT video as well made but it sure did a whole lot of nothing for me. Around halfway through it seemed to be acting like them having these issues was some tragedy and not just a business making a bunch of promises it had no idea how to actually meet without the two Disneys. Really felt more of a Disney PR video than his other videos, especially since he has specifically shown things like Walt strike breaking previously. Felt weird to see/hear quotes from Walt presented as aspirational and hopeful.

yeah, i'm not a religious watcher of defunctland but i enjoyed many of his previous videos. this one didn't really do anything for me. i appreciate the effort and insane production values that went into this, but i also agree i would have much preferred the dude just reading from a script like his other videos.

while it's not exactly the same thing and it's only one video, it sort of reminds me of how philosophy tube and contrapoints (as well as some others) decided to focus more on elaborate clothing and sets and such the more videos they continued to make. while their content was still good and informative for the most part, it felt like they were leaning more aggressively into the style over substance direction with each subsequent video

Sadly it's not a big leap on YT from quaint off grid content to awful endtime-type people or bastards with their own stores who profit off stoking people's anxieties by spreading conspiracies, fake news and the like. I'm sure Townsends has spoken a couple of times in the past about his vids not being geared towards preppers.

The Destiny stuff has been so funny to watch on twitter. Googles about the subject for two weeks and then calls two of the definitive works on the subject "garbage" and "ultra garbage". If he had an ounce of self-awareness he never would've agreed to debate Finkelstein - even Shapiro as dumb as he is has been smart enough to avoid it since he knows he'll get embarrassed.

Destiny also whined that the people who have been mocking him for not reading books don't read them either. Why does he think they're making fun of him.

Shapiro is a right wing media personality, Destiny is a Starcraft player who got famous for talking to people on twitch about their dumb politics. One of them knows who they are, the other one doesn't, I guess. I have no idea how big of a head you have to get to think you can step into the lane of real-rear end academics and take them on, but I guess it's really easy to get it when all you do is talk to people who are famous for saying dumb poo poo online.
