OMG
This shared playlist feature also lets everyone up and downvote the videos so it can build a better consensus.
I've always thought youTube didn't do enough with community and collaborative features. I assumed this was because such features didn't make people watch longer and view more ads.
But someone over there tried to make something useful for once.
YouTube has quietly added a feature where multiple people can add videos to the same playlist. I've always wanted something like this built into the app.
Here is the invite. Add any videos you actually watch today that you don't mind sharing.
Sadly you must be logged in to youTube to do this.
Will this be a mess? Let's see!
(I've always wanted a recommended video feature that was based on what people I knew *actually watched* to create a shared media library.)
So. Since pennies are out of circulation does that make my father in law's big water cooler jugs of pennies "coin hoards" in the archeological sense?
People think coin hoards are strange, but I bet you know someone with one right now.
Now we're talking!
If you had a matter synthesizer, that could make realistic rocks of any possible description and you wanted to prank a geologist into silence what would you ask it to print?
It WILL fool them even if they test it.
Why am I asking?
Oh... no reason.
Did you live?

This is like that fertility company that was marketing around the city with some kind of eugenics sounding nonsense.
They want everyone to have to discus this.
I don't think it worked for the fertility company. Will it work for these guys? IDK.
I remember some kid at school trying to trade me like 10 AOL discs for one of the video games I'd burned saying "but this is like 10,000 hours of internet!
I just makes me think of confused grandpas in best buy.
"soylent greed" is a killer name for SOMETHING will one of you please run with this and make some good trouble.
Gather round children. Let grandma tell you of a time long long ago when the internet was young. And how in those days every company knew it was the "next thing" but didn't know what to do about it. This is what gave us the "internet button" ... this was a button added to some keyboards that said "internet" since people wanted a computer "with internet" and if it has the button ...well... then it must have that.
Presumably it opened a browser window or something. No one really knows.

IDK. This sounds very soylent green* adjacent.
I do not want to "serve man" I do not want the "man cereal"
*"soylent greed" was a typo but I kinda think it works in a way.
A political “call to action” in this app that has pretensions of being a “bank”— a “respectable investment brokerage”— this is exactly why I don’t agree with anything these clowns might want. My trust is less than zero.
They always want more ways to exploit people with less oversight every single time.
At this point i’m in
She was horrified by the fees and my explanation of how the “no fee option” meant trusting randos on facebook marketplace.
My mom made like $300– but I think I mostly scared her out of doing much more. She insisted on only cashing out $200 and leaving $100 in “in case it explodes” so dutifully I check on it now and then.
I was an early adopter and thought it could be great for funding online collaborative projects a decade ago. Started making an app but it’s a bad space.
Then my mom wanted to buy bitcoin and threatened to do it on her own if I didn’t help so I thought it was safer if I set it up for her.
My instinct is that if coinbase wants it then it is bad.
But I am willing to listen to a reasonable argument.
Why can’t we have the “no politicians making money on crypto in the bill?”
I will call to ask about this today. Ban the politicians from touching a crypto coin. That seems obvious.
