  • The Roswell Incident was declassified as well. It was a weather balloon with a microphone attachment that was meant to listen to a certain layer of the atmosphere where nukes are loudest. I don’t have the link as I’m on mobile.

    I don’t think the government would deny any extraterrestrial claims by the news during the cold war because it would scare the commies shitless if they thought the United States had alien technology.

    Trained monkeys at the zoo. It’s repetition that they dance to. Trained monkeys at the zoo. They don’t know what else they can do.

    I’m exhausted, and politics will make me emotionally exhausted on top of being physically exhausted and mentally drained. There’s no time for strikes or riots because I’m barely going to feed myself tomorrow if I don’t work today.

    Humans evolved to live in small groups of about 150. Now we fall trap to systems that we don’t know how to deal with. We don’t die to physical predators anymore, we fall victim to cults and concepts.





  • Everything has a lifespan, YouTube remaining free is probably in the middle of its lifespan by my guess.

    The cat and mouse game will go on for a bit before YouTube asks for donations, then starts requiring paid memberships across the board. Nobody wants to pirate a few dozen 30 second videos of cats, and that’s when YouTube’s competition will rise.

    As YouTube dies, new things will pop up to fill the niche. Most of us are hoping that new thing comes sooner rather than later. One day Peertube, Odyssey, and Grayjay will be better competition than little old YouTube.

    You asked this on Lemmy, which is a niche being filled in by the enshitification of Reddit. You’re part of the progress away from pdependency on the big few corporate sites. That’s a bigger deal than most people know.


  • Do not call up your local Pizza Hut and social engineer a means to get the manager’s name. For example, don’t say “Hey I have some questions for the hiring manager, are they in? I don’t mean to be awkward, but what should I call you so I’m not saying manager for this whole conversation.”

    Don’t order the curse of flames pizza from the local Domino’s to the Local Pizza Hut under the Pizza Hut manager’s name. The curse of flames pizza is a large well-done thin pizza with no sauce or cheese, only spinach.

    Again, don’t do any of this. If the Domino’s doesn’t instantly refund your hypothetical order to the manager of the Pizza hut, an underpaid worker will scoop the embers of the curse of flames pizza out of the oven and put it on a stack of pizza boxes where the embers will catch fire.

    Then the Domino’s manager will have to use the fire extinguisher and they’ll mistakenly sue the manager of the Pizza Hut for property damage.

    Again don’t do it because once they figure out it was you and not their competitor, they’ll come after you for property damage instead. The legal fees on both sides might put the struggling franchise owners at a loss for a bit, and shut down either restaurant for everyone else.

    That’s why you don’t order the Curse of Flames Pizza from Dominos to the manager of the Pizza Hut.
