But doctor, I am Pagliacci

What if Paul Atreides wasn’t clairvoyant but was instead just very determined

I’m ok with most British English spellings of words (ex. colour, tyre, draught), but my brain cannot accept “paycheque”

I still think about how my Cuban former coworker pronounced Popeye the Sailor as poh-pee-yay

I didn’t want be the one to make that joke but I’m glad somebody did

I did consider that. Using standard notation, the lowercase “he” as opposed to a capital “He” would mean that Judah is the subject, not God. Nevertheless, the first sentence implies that even with God, Judah was incapable to affect those with iron chariots.

It’s real, it happened to my buddy Gulliver once

At least 609 million people would understand. Hindi is the third most common (spoken) language globally.

Now you’re talking Turkey

Thank you! I made the whole team and the Fantasti-Car a few years ago

My biggest gripe with cooking instructions is the non-specificity. “Stir pasta frequently”? How frequently? How continuously? Tell me in unit Hertz

I thought it had been accepted as an exonym, not just an endonym

Cross-referencing the list of areas served from the Wikipedia page for Arby’s with a map of which countries commonly have bidets, we can determine that this tweet is funniest in the nations of Egypt and Türkiye.

Side-note: Why does Wikipedia still spell the country’s name as Turkey rather than Türkiye?

I beg to differ

Here’s the full text of the disclaimer on the channel’s “About” tab as of present:

“Disclaimer:

Popsie Funk is a fictitious creation. The tracks are A.I. generated from lyrics and musical compositions that I have created. The A.I. samples are then mixed and edited by me.

I am adding this disclaimer due to repeated questions about the genuine authenticity of Popsie Funk and his music.

While being asked the same question dozens of times can be taxing, I take confusion as a huge compliment!

After all, if you can’t tell by ear that my music is A.I. generated, then I’m doing my job right!”

The channel owner directly states that it is their intention to mislead. I did see the disclaimer on the channel after looking up the “artist” and before making this post, but that disclaimer is not visible on the thumbnail preview and the video description omits any reference to it. The inclusion of the year in the video title as well as the hashtags all attempt to work their way into the feeds of those not in the know to convince them that it is legitimate.

The channels that are not upfront are even worse.

When I am using my phone as opposed to a desktop, I watch YouTube videos in the phone’s built-in browser so I can refresh the page to skip any ads before the video. I typically don’t have the patience after watching the video to open the YouTube app and wait for an ad to load and then wait to swipe the ad out of the way just to “Like” or “Dislike” the video. I may glimpse through the recommended page on the chance there is anything that I may have missed, or that may have been a surprise upload, or that may be adjacent to videos/channels that I’ve already watched and which may be of interest to me.

Conversely, I still need to make and receive important phone calls even though the vast majority of calls I receive are spam
