  • My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video

    Jump

  • I remember when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls was randomly playing in my head so I decided to listen to it. YouTube took that as me finding a new favourite band. I mostly listen to industrial metal.

  • Why do we clap?

    Jump

  • Used to be that when a play ended, the audience would rush the stage to pat the backs of the actors to show appreciation. After the Great Audience Stampede of 1733, they made a rule to not rush the stage and just use the other hand as a substitute of the actors' backs. That rule became the social norm.

  • Favourite FPS Campaign

    Jump

  • DOOM Eternal is pretty damn close to perfection. The only thing that keeps it from 10/10 for me is the length of the missions, especially on harder difficulties. I feel absolutely exhausted after just one level.

    Then again, maybe I'm just old.

    What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings?

  • Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves?

    Jump

  • Amen Brother by The Winstons, more specifically the drum break on it. It's by far the most used sample of any song ever, and once you know of it you'll hear it everywhere kind of like the Wilhelm Scream in movies.

  • Dogmeat rule of thumb

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I didn't realize that 100% of Fallout related posts are referencing the show and not the games for the foreseeable future. My bad.

  • Do people vape in cars?

    Jump

  • I literally bought a vape so I wouldn't smoke in my car. It's quite a bit easier to sell a car that smells like raspberries than one that smells like an ashtray.

  • What is your favorite 100% non political "just nice music" music artist?

    Jump

  • What do you mean? They're just songs about nice things, like bringing your own beer to a party, jumping on a pogo stick and shimmying until the break of dawn, yeah. Oh, and cocaine. Lots of cocaine.

  • Dogmeat rule of thumb

    Jump

  • Not a thumbs up, it was a guideline back in the day that if the mushroom cloud was smaller than the thumb of your outstretched arm, you were not in immediate danger. Or something along those lines. Pedantic needs fulfilled.

  • What are your favorite metal song covers?

    Jump

  • If that floats your boat, give Fear of the Dark by Graveworm a listen. Iron Maiden lends itself really well to dark metal.

  • MUSIC - What is the deepest cover song you know?

    Jump

  • Not sure if this applies, but people still seem to think that Nine Inch Nails covered Hurt by Johnny Cash and not the other way round. That or they haven't even heard the original.

  • Excluding the Horror genre and individual movies in a series, what movie story ends with evil winning?

    Jump

  • The Social Network.

  • Can you separate the artist as a person from the music?

    Jump

  • Wait, Anthony Kiedis!? That's news to me.

  • Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"?

    Jump

  • Holy hell, I learned something today. Might be a matter of a language barrier, since in my native language the word "Satanism" by definition refers to LaVeyan Satanism, and there's a distinct word for Satan's/Devil's worshippers. No idea how that happened.

  • Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"?

    Jump

  • You're mixing things up. Satanism never believed in literal Satan, that'd be Satan's /Devil's Worshippers, a completely different group of people. "Satanism" was the word used by the ignorant western (mostly US) media during the "Satanic panic" during the '80s-'90s, and it stuck. The Satanic Bible, to which your "modern atheist Satanism" refers to, was written in '69. Nothing to do with literal Satan.

  • YSK: Most "Energy Optimization Services" for buildings are scams.

    Jump

  • Thanks for commenting, I didn't expect to find someone on "the other side" of the argument! Just to be clear, can you explain what all these models and calculations accomplish that can't be done with temperature sensors in a few of the apartments, for example? That's the solution that the more advanced systems I've implemented use, and it at least sounds significantly simpler. And no need for a subscription.

  • How is nicotine legal?

    Jump

  • I know, right? Last night I drank 5 liters of water while brushing my teeth, and I got a serious stomach ache! How is water legal!?

    What I'm saying is that what you experienced there was something called an "user error".

    I have smoked for around 15 years now, got a vape maybe 3 years ago and I've never had anything like that happen, unless you count the "contests" we had in middle school.

  • YSK about the app Yuka which lets you scan food and cosmetics to identify harmful chemicals or additives

    Jump

  • We have ads on YSK now?

  • Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

    Jump

  • I like The Spiffing Brit (game exploits), The Backlogs (challenge runs) and JoshStrifeHayes (MMO stuff).
