GissaMittJobb , to Comic Strips in Algorithm [elder cactus]

I recently switched over to using LibreTube which cut me off from personalized algorithmic recommendations.

It was a little bit like switching off Reddit to Lemmy - less digital sugar pills, but after a while, I don't even really miss it.

I do have to actively seek out new creators if I want to watch something new, but in all honesty my current subscriber list keeps me more than busy.

On balance a net positive, would recommend

Kase ,

On balance a net positive, would recommend.

Seconded. All my homies love LibreTube.

(At least I think they would, if I weren't the only person I know who uses it. But hey, now there's you! There are dozens two of us!)

I've been using ReVanced for awhile now, but LibreTube sounds pretty good to get off the algorithms wild ride

xX_fnord_Xx ,

I love libretube, but I really need it to support queing videos. As it stands you have to pick each video you want to watch/listen to. Unless there is a hack I am unaware of Playlists don't really exist.

Please prove me wrong, if you know better than I do.

Kase ,

I can't que, but I can make playlists in libre (android). There's a "save" option under the video that lets me create playlists and save videos to them. We might just be using different app versions if you can't.

iiGxC ,

Same but newpipe/pipepipe

Flax_vert ,

Libretube glitches a lot for me :(

GissaMittJobb ,

It's not a perfect experience to be sure, since it doesn't have the backing of a trillion dollar company with tens of thousands of engineers. It mostly gets the job done with a bit of know-how for me, though.

Flax_vert ,

I think I'm just on a poor server. I should probably configure it more as well.

shplane ,

What are some fun channels you'd recommend on there?

@wabafee@lemmy.world avatar

Apparently moths are not attracted to light they just can't get away with it. Because they use the brightest light as a way to orient themselves. It turns out this is instictive and has no way for them to get out of that state without them knocking themselves out. ln short, mothman we'll be there standing till daylight.

Asafum ,

Hello wonderful person!

TIMMAY ,

Woot anton crowd woot

lolcatnip ,

Apparently the orientation theory doesn't explain all the observations. I found a page with some interesting details: https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/why-moths-are-attracted-to-light/

But then he still eats his legs, leaving our hero wheelchair bound with the perfect ass for twerking, alas, no legs.

A /truly/ maddening fate.

Pennywise eating ass is a pretty funny image.

Presumably our paraplegic hero would at some point scurry away with his arms so as to avoid incredible pain and avoid rapidly bleeding to death, but sure, pennywise can get some ass chomps in, as a treat.

I did a quick search for "entombed horse" and found this real Wikipedia article.

Mwallerby OP ,

That's the boi

AVincentInSpace ,

Are you telling me I clicked the link only for the entombed horse to be an unsubstantiated rumor?

I demand a refund of the $0 I spent on this!

nawapad ,

In 2001, he returned to Loch nan Uamh with radar equipment and found the remains of a horse and cart within the viaduct's central pylon.

It's there, entombed in the central pylon, as all horses should be.

Oh. I might be dumb =P

ech , to Comic Strips in Little Caesar's [beetlemoses]

I get it's referencing the back rooms, but I don't get why. No location I've ever been to looked anything like that.

bionicjoey ,

I think the joke is that nobody ever actually enters LC. They just order from there. So there would be no way of knowing if it was actually secretly an entrance to the backrooms

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I order for pickup and it looks like this.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/349804d2-de77-4118-a18e-8ce0006fef11.jpeg

But now that you mentioned it, what is their back room? Do they even have a kitchen?

Or do they all just go to the Little Caesars Dimension and through the
Pizza Portal and fetch us some Hot-and-Readys by negotiating with the outer gods?

bionicjoey ,

The door to the back is a portal to the elemental plane of pizza. Employees dip into the back to slay a pizza elemental and harvest its crust whenever they run out of dipping sticks.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Oh wow TIL

Kase ,

Hey um I'm sorry but I've been seeing you here for months and I just have to know: is there a story/meaning behind your username choice?? If so please please tell me the lore. I want to know. I need to know.

Assman ,
@Assman@sh.itjust.works avatar

People order delivery from little Caesars? I didn't even know they had delivery.

IMongoose ,

For real. They're going to get a $5-$6 pizza delivered to them for $15-$20? Are they nuts? Go get real food.

jayandp ,

They partnered with DoorDash a few years ago, and its one of those one driver=multiple stops things. Which means your pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you.

PuzzledBlueberry ,

Every LC I've ever seen is takeout only... You have to go inside to get the pizza

GiantRobotTRex ,

I remember in-store dining at Little Caesars in the '90s but nowadays all the ones I know of are takeout only.

deleteme ,

This could have been an episode of Reply All, from their “Yes, yes, no” segment. It would go down the Backrooms rabbit hole and back up reminiscing about cheap Little Caesar’s.

Admetus , to Comic Strips in Grace [Extra Fabulous Comics]

I always love seeing this comic here and there and thinking back to the original infamous question posed by many commenters: "what's up with the eye not on their head?"

Hupf ,

Because all negative opinions are invalid.

IrateAnteater ,

No. It's not about having a single negative opinion, it's about having nothing but negative opinions.

AlataOrange ,

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more and more stuff are soulless cash grabs. It used to be that games shipped completed, now they ship broken cost more and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that. The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune. Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

Valmond ,

Started out writing a somewhat long answer post, got a bit lost, there are lots of stuff to think about and not only about game development or global economy but media and consumption overall IMO.

What about starting a community discussing the general enshittification of the internet and the world, but also good recommendations and ideas for well the future?

I'm on, and if there is no neutral place where to make a community, I can provide one on my lemmy server if needed.

Cheers and love to the crazy game developers out there!

Krauerking ,

I think a puzzle game in style of viewfinder where you can overlap your photos of objects to create more complex solutions, but the more times you copy the same thing the more blurry and less physical it becomes would be such a cool game.

There have been really neat little things that feel short of a pearl but that is kinda the point. They get worked over and over again until suddenly its something amazing. Stories of wizards are nothing new nor are magical schools but yet we know of one big one.

The problems I think also settle into drive and time for realizing the ideas. People complained of the "nanny state" of the UK in the 70s except it spawned massive musicians and artists. Also we need spaces to discover the new and grow it naturally, which there are fewer 3rd spaces and yet infinitely more from the internet.

I always hope for something new and hope that through the noise I will find it. If that means somehow figuring a space for exploration and inspiration I think it's much overdue.

potustheplant ,

Although mainstream media might be worse, there are stil lots of movies and series that are pretty high quality being released every year.

AlataOrange ,
  1. What movies would you recommend that have come out since Dune as that is the last movie I have been able to care about at all? This isn't meant to be read as sarcastic, I'm being completely sincere I would like recommendations.

  2. I'm not going to lie I just don't trust non-indie series any more. I can't trust them to not be arbitrarily cancelled part way through, or to be ruined after one or two seasons. There are too many burnt bridges and broken promises.

potustheplant ,
  1. Movies: Marcel the shell with shoes on, the worst person in the world, past lives, aftersun, everything everywhere all at once, the banshees of inisherin, licorice pizza, beau is afraid and I'm surely forgetting several others.

  2. For recent series, I can recommend: Severance, Atlanta, Scavengers reign, Fleishman is in trouble

niktemadur ,

Godzilla Minus One!
Then there's Ghibli's latest, The Boy & The Heron.

potustheplant ,

Not really interested in godzilla and I didn't like the boy & the heron :(. The end credits song is a banger though.

Krauerking ,

Want something really weird?

Landscaping with invisible hand

potustheplant ,

Maybe this is too blunt but that looks like crap and has poor reviews. I have way too many movies to watch so I don't think I'll waste my time with that one.

Krauerking ,

Oh i said weird, not good.

It's a trip of a movie that feels like it might end up a cult classic eventually.

Beautiful take on art in the industry with a blunt heavy handed approach to it's metaphor and comedy. Like it's performing surgery with a hatchet. It's definitely something different is all I'm saying and didn't hate myself for watching it.

Edit: I mentioned it cause you said you watched Beau is Afraid.

nifty ,
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Right, it’s not about expressing negativity per se but about maintaining, or establishing, standards and quality.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Counterpoint there has been a measurable decrease in quality of most forms of media as more

No. The past had plenty of trash just no one remembers it. Which gives you the impression that everything was good. Survivor bias.

and more stuff are soulless cash grabs

When was it not?

. It used to be that games shipped completed, no

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial_(video_game)

and expect you to pump even more money into them on top of that.

https://creativetwilight.com/how-expensive-is-warhammer-40k/

Also I am not sure how the lack of value adds = lower quality.

The last move I saw that I cared about was Dune.

I agree. That 1980s masterpiece is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

Many of the restaurants near me have reduced their quality of ingredients and staff, now when going to the nearby sandwich shop my order is wrong more often than it is correct.

Well what do you expect after 3 years of people screaming about having to wear a mask and reductions of immigration?

What do we do when the world is measurably becoming worse?

Start by using actual data not anecdotes. No one is convinced when you talk like that. It sounds like every old dude I knew growing up ranting.

wildginger ,

The comic is clearly mocking critics, tho, down to the stereotype bald man with a thin mustache and a scarf.

niktemadur ,

Yep, it's about the proverbial sitting and pouting while folding arms, declaring that "everything is lame".

CptEnder , to Comic Strips in Comfort show [elder cactus]

Fucking love that show, I need to rewatch it again

Neon ,

what? Chernobyl?

CptEnder ,

Yeah the HBO/SkyTV show ft Jared Harris and Stellen Skarsgard.

No, Short Man Tall Woman. The hilarious buddy cartoon comedy. Every Thursday night only on Fognl.

The only ones I have ever been in were just a counter and a clearly visible kitchen behind it with no walls separating them.

ares35 ,
@ares35@kbin.social avatar

the best ones were the ones inside of super kmart, you could actually eat in there or buy by the slice.

jawa21 ,

Interesting. Our K-Mart only had the K-Mart snack bar. I remember eating hot dogs there as a kid.

i remember actual sit-down restaurants inside of kmart when i was a kid.

@agent_flounder@lemmy.world avatar

I feel like they had something like that at one of our stores in the early to mid 70s. (USA) Like Woolworths or something.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I miss that era.

Where did this pizza come from, Kmart? Nobody knows. And now nobody will ever know.
