could someone smart actually explain to me how the iPhone settings search function is, and has always been, so criminally awful? Why almost no search will ever work on it? it seems so strange for a modern piece of technology

one cannot talk about youtube flops without coming off as self pitying oh my GOD lmao. I knew it would be a flop, but never imagined that "You Are Into Mouse Trap YouTube" would have three times the views of this video. Audience keeping me on my toes tbh

so of course my Osaka vid is a generational flop, but honestly, I'm just so happy about how stupid it is 100% of the time. I think it turned out great lol

I went to the, quite strange, Osaka Expo 2025, and made a video about it! You legally have to watch it because you follow me on the internet youtu.be/D10S6G1InXg?...

Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that my "cloud ranking" on bluesky is a 9.6/10, which makes me something of a celebrity on this website. You might not have been aware but yeah my cloud rank is 9.6

honestly such a stroke of good luck for Gvir that the countermeasures Israel are now forced into are also the thing he's wanted to do for his entire political career. could have easily been a really bad day for him

Assassins really creep me out. It’s so weird to have this like strange discourse about the “moral worthiness” of killing people when the killers are always these freaky mouth breathing psychos you’d never want to meet and who through away their lives for nothing

Talking about online discourse in like a meta, “above it all” way can get really pretentious fast. But I do feel sometimes like the two main political conversations the internet has is “should we be happy when bad people die or are killed” and “should I vote for democrats” and I do hate them both

I feel like the gun control conversation is so politically dead at the moment. people really honed in on Charlie Kirk being overly pro 2A in the wake of his assassination, but for how many people was that a central Charlie Kirk problem? It just seems so hard to talk about guns now

I think the reason I’m a little less quick to conclude that the Dark Days are coming and that now conservatives are gonna get REALLY hardcore is that I have no idea what that means. Wow my dad said he was mad. This guy thinks umm, that Charlie was too nice. What are they even talking about

This interaction between the quartering and Milo Yiannopoulos is really quite good

It’s odd to think that extremely famous conservatives going to random colleges and yelling at people in open air, unprotected environments might, just like that, be a thing of the past

I just can’t believe I like accidentally saw footage of Charlie Kirk being murdered

I feel like if the new iPhone air was sold with the external power bank in box, people would go insane

I’m really not over seeing the sexy secrets letter that the president of the United States sent to the most famous pedophile

People can get so wrapped up in very particular ways of “being moderate” and performing moderation, I find it very interesting

I believe that the letter Trump sent to Epstein was frankly a bit much. even assuming Trump was tied to or enjoyed the pedophile ring, it still just seems a bit extra to me. When did “I love you man, have a great birthday” fall out of fashion you know

This video from Linus Tech Tips about how his videos have been doing poorly for the last month is really interesting. Not to judge Linus’ path, of course he’s done well in life, but I really think YouTubers scaling their businesses seems like such a mistake on average youtu.be/KqCV6Rk8kOA?...

I’ve complained about this before but I just can’t believe how shit members only YouTube content is designed. It’s obvious purpose is to spark FOMO, and it doesn’t even do that. it functionally jusy doubles every video in the ugliest way. And it seems trivially easy to solve too

I feel like blocking people after disagreeing with them and feeling like that’s really cool became such a trope on this website

I think Christians could have a really good cultural moment if they started talking about how this kind of take is vaguely blasphemous

I just don’t understand why people queue up for 40 mins to get on a plane where their seat is assigned, why they don’t simply lounge like me. What are they hoping for, are they better than me

Nobody’s ever even asked me if I wanted political org money, like literally why not, am I not a pretty normal uncontroversial guy

I buzzed all the hair off my head because i felt it would look cool but now i have no hair

I haven’t read the oped yet so I’m just referring to this post. When adults wanna buy a thing, what’s our idea for how to make it so they can’t so that a six year old gets their “deserved spot”

So what are our thoughts on the whole “Chorus” thing, if you’re aware what that is. Do we like the org giving money to lefty creators, do we think it’s nasty. Willing to believe whatever you tell me to

I think a lot about what it would be like to be as cool looking as stromae. In my personal opinion of the coolest looking and acting guys ever

I worry that people don’t talk enough about parrots saying human words. I feel it should be the sole focus of most people’s lives

Watch this very odd online conversation I did about Nick Fuentes with the YouTuber PF Jung, if you like! youtu.be/mLgs8p-KApk?...

Do you ever hold your dog’s face in your hands and think to yourself, this creature is a stranger to me I will never truly know what she’s thinking. It’s kinda creeping me out dude

My audience is only 30% women and I’ve been led to believe that’s not a particularly low number in video essay world. It’s so odd and interesting to have a career based on a boy hobby for the boys. I make family guy basically

If there are any Japanese people on here, I have a question. is the 7-eleven egg salad sandwich such an obsession in Japan, or is the cult following mostly a western phenomenon

Does anyone actually care about Apple AI being lacking. I feel like it’s a failure that people only care about theoretically, and that no iPhone user is thinking, man I wish those dumb writing tools and genmoji were stronger

Having this convo three years ahead of time is so odd. No we gotta get ahead of this shit, Gavin Newsom (a governor with historically pretty middling approval ratings in his own state) WILL be the candidate. And these fucks are gonna vote for JD Vance instead!It’s written in the leaves

I only saw it once so maybe my memory is fuzzy, I didn’t feel like the point of parasite was “noble poor people fight against evil rich fucks”? don’t they mistreat even poorer people? I feel like that would be the critique of capitalism, and a pretty nihilistic dour one at that

I just had what I guess you could call an online debate that was quite surprising to me in many ways. I won’t spoil it, but one thing I don’t understand is how debate type people are so good at keeping their cool. My Apple Watch told me that my heart was racing for 90 straight mins

Dewey from Malcom in the Middle may be the cutest little boy to have ever existed. Really just eats McCauley Culkin’s lunch in my opinion

I’m playing around with chat gpt for the first time since I thought maybe it could help with French. Why is it programmed to end every response with “thank you. If there’s anything else you need, please let me know” such that I can’t stop it from saying that. takes me away from the français fantasy

I don’t see why disallowing phones from school is some evil proposition that prevents children from gaining knowledge of the internet. It seems like it takes some burden away from teachers who need to be able to have the attention of their students

Fred the movie is objectively funny and cute. I would recommend Fred the movie to someone who likes a nice fun time

It’s crazy that every single time I the first bit of “somebody that I used to know” comes on and then becomes “anxiety,” I feel the exact same level of disappointment. You’d think it would stop being a surprise at some point, but I’m always on the edge of my seat, hoping for somebody I used to know

Does the constant emphasis on Mr Beast’s apparently frightening and offputting face not turn anyone off at this point. It’s always so primary in people’s list of grievances against him

“Wow this Big Joel guy really deserves a million subs on YouTube!” “I knoooow, he’s so good” “What if, I don’t know, we did like an ‘ironic’ sub to Big Joel campaign online, to get people excited?” “That would be sooo funny and cool wow” Just a convo you guys could be having idk

It’s crazy to watch this intra-conservative feud unfold. Candace responding “you lied about me 😠” to a post about how Jews are the enemy. Everyone begging to get on the good side of the same neo-Nazi audience. It’s no good!

Weapons so good

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. I love the reveal that mamdani’s rent, one he should be ashamed to pay because of his vast fortunes, is 2,300 dollars

Breaking News: Israeli leaders approved a plan for the military takeover of all of Gaza, against the recommendations of Israel’s military.

I enjoy the recent South Park episodes. There’s a sort of appealing vapid quality they have? Like they refuse any big political point in a way that reflects the shallowness and mind numbing evil of the current admin. Idk it works for me

I’m more than happy to accept that thinking the ad was “eugenicist” was a fringe opinion, but I’m fairly sure tons of people agree that it was? I mean it’s not most of society, but it didn’t SEEM that fringe either? Maybe I’m in a wild part of online
