Me watching a video about dishwasher pod inefficiencies:
Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!
Soz too busy watching how lava lamps function.
I’m still on Christmas lights
For anyone out of the loop and looking to lose many hours learning
https://www.youtube.com/c/TechnologyConnections/videos
… and now I know a lot more about automatic windshield wipers
I enjoyed how everyone in the comment thread already knew. Technology Connections is a real treasure.
I’m pretty sure the list of episodes on Christmas lights is never ending.
Can’t do the Christmas lights, I’m too busy hating my toaster.
Fun fact: If you bury lava lamp underground it will become a magma lamp.
And the yearly Christmas lights video :D
Not gonna lie very few teachers from my experience have the charisma in their teaching that an experienced Podcaster has on a topic.
I’ve had a couple for sure who I could listen for hours teach.
But many would just rattle off facts endlessly and wouldn’t really engage.
to be fair, a podcaster only has to engage in the topic once, imagine repeating the same thing for years 6h+ every day
Also, a live performance in front of a hostile audience has special challenges.
And a podcast listener has chosen to listen
And is either travelling somewhere or very comfortable with snacks and drinks at hand
For very little money
This is what has not been leveraged by almost any learning institution! The people that are explaining a concept to students for the first time and people who are good at answering questions while the student is practicing/digesting the information do not need to be the same people! This is how you increase the efficiency of education, you specialize roles.
Anyone got a link to the dolphin social hierarchies episode?
They do discuss it briefly in No such thing as a fish ep. 43.

I’ve recently started listening to “Ologies”, and she has a 2-part series
Yeah but you chose to watch that podcast, you didn’t have a choice on what you learned in school.
me_irl, whenever Hbomberguy or Jenny Nicholson publish a video essay about someone or something I had never heard of
I loooooove the meltdown the Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser twitter/subreddit had after Jenny’s “Star Wars Hotel” video, especially the segment where she predicted every type of comment she was going to get (and she was 100% bang on). It was the first or second time since the blackout that I had actually spent more than a minute on Reddit scanning for the answer of my Google query.
Thank you for spending $6000USD and suffering for our entertainment, Jenny o7
Holy shit it’s still going on
Someone called Jenny’s content brand as “extremely mean spirited”
What the fuck
It’s soooo funny, and really exposes how much of the social media landscape is people discussing content they never interact with or attempt to consume, even within their own niche. 5 seconds of scrolling through Jenny’s Youtube feed could tell you exactly how “mean spirited” she is.
The Disney parks subreddit was much more level headed discussing her video’s criticisms, which surprised me.
Literally claimed to watch her content and thinks she makes bad faith arguments when called out
It’s funny as fuck tbh
Oooh, I wonder if it’s the dregs of those weirdos that harassed her for saying that The Last Jedi “was ok” (which it honestly, it would be if it was a regular space heist movie or something. It’s just a god-awful Star Wars movie specifically).
Reading that subreddit has been my husband’s latest pastime, he loves reading people be angry for some reason, and I guess the battlenet forums weren’t amusing enough anymore!
I just feel so bad for Jenny, who was so clearly trying to hard to make things work and at every turn Disney was just “fuck yooouuuuu”
WAIT the battle.net forums are still up???
Thank you so much for this revelation, I know EXACTLY how I’m spending my Friday (reading posts coping about Blizzard’s p2w meta). Your husband and I are cut from the same cloth.
Hbomberguy is so good. I’ve seen his oof video 3 times and just started my third re-watch of his plagiarism video. I was browsing through his older videos and saw that he had an older plagiarism video as wellnot as long and worth the watch too.
Thank you for turning me on to a new deep dive YouTuber. I love Jenny Nicoleson, I have high hopes for Hbomberguy.
Oooooh boy, you’re in for something. Amazing guy. I rewatch his Pathologic video bimonthly
Can’t wait. ☺
I discovered Jenny’s channel last week and I am 4 videos in, the 4 hour Star Wars hotel video was a work of art
I really liked the Bronies one.
The ‘church musical extended universe’ one is top notch in my book
Me, amazed by the Antikythera Mechanism, and the modern day reconstructions of it. But I look up in the night sky, and either I can’t see shit, or whatever few stars/planets I see, I have no fucking clue what I’m looking at LOL!
There’s a few apps for that which can help get you started. Doesn’t help too much with light pollution though
Very true that. In one direction, we have a large construction company that runs 24/7, and in the other direction, there’s a number of casinos.
So yeah, light pollution hits hard in my area ☹️
Oh I watch Clickspring too! o7
Well, this is the difference between doing something voluntarily and compulsorily.
Haha, this is so accurate.
They give you the first dose for free
It is possible you have ADD or ADHD. Just saying, because this is kind of a hallmark of those illnesses. Whether it’s defiance or lack of interest.
Being curious about science podcasts is not a hallmark of ADHD. It’s just a hallmark of people who like learning about science.
But being unable or disinterested in mandatory work versus being ultra interested in voluntary work; that is a hallmark symptom of both illnesses.
that’s just saying it’s a hallmark symptom to like things you want to do and not like things you don’t want to do. congratulations, now everyone has ADHD.
But at the same it’s totally normal for kids to complain about school so the jump to the ADHD point is quite big.
I feel this deeply. I’ve not been diagnosed, but it’s a problem.
Yeah. Not liking being commanded what to do with no explanation why you do that is totally an ADHD thing.
Pretty sure no one likes that.
