Have you read the story of Panko breadcrumbs?

It came from food and fuel shortages in WW2 where the ingredients for bread but no ovens or equipment to cook it into anything. One guy hooked a bunch of dough up to a car battery and electrocuted it and created a crustless loaf with a weird texture. He also discovered this weird texture made for great even sized crumbs with a uniform colour and after the war ended decided to turn it into a business.

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song

Youtube’s recommendation algo is insane.

I get 2nd amendment nutcases telling me the dems are gonna steal my guns and trans women are gonna rape all my family in public toilets.

I’m British, living in Britain, but I sometimes looking up what the best gun attachments are on call of duty…

The bit about the whales having “culture” that’s potentially >30 million years old, compared to the fact that humans have only been around for ~150k years blew my mind.

The foresight the team has had to try not to fuck up this culture with a load of garbled AI nonsense is pretty amazing too.

Thanks for the insight, I’ve been looking at replacing an aging thinkpad that I use to tinker with linux on but not much else on. I keep fluctuating between getting their one of their most basic models and using it as a tinkering machine or completely maxing the specs and using it as my primary machine and fully switching to desktop Linux.

Your insight has made this decision harder so… thanks? Haha!

I’m getting the exact same shit on shorts constantly. Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, Piers Morgan, some kid explaining why women should stay in the kitchen, another guy screaming that trans people don’t exist, some imam thinking he’s making people look stupid for not believing in god, etc

I’m not sure if I’m impressed in my ad/content blocking and general internet hygiene that google/youtube knows me so badly or worried that so many people, particularly young/impressionable people, who may not have such strongly opposed views to that hateful crap, are getting brainwashed and radicalized into having extreme conservative views.

My house would not change, it would just become Kevin’s house. I’d be back in with my parents.

On top of those I also use:

  • pockettube: allows you to manage your subscriptions into categories (e.g. Music, Video Editing, News, Design Tutorials, etc.) and automatically creates playlists of new videos in each group.
  • Enhancer for Youtube: adds convenient buttons, themes and loads of other features like automatically selecting your desired resolution.

That's good to hear, I've got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:

Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?
