10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. (lemmy.world)

Every time I see someone film vertically I send them this YT video /watch?v=xL23Xvv1Pis (was not sure if I'm allowed to post links here). I just think it's a brilliant and underappreciated parody.

TBF I kind of got used to portrait videos but I still block YT shorts and alike as most videos in that format are garbage anyways.

I've seen links to videos in a lot of community posts, so we should be fine.

Also, funny video, thanks for sharing!

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Thanks, I always forget that piped exists as I'm not used to it yet. Will try to post piped links directly next time.

edit: and will also try to not respond to bots :D

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
