Ooh don’t fight THAT battle in front of your children

…Warmth make wiggle house built from tiny building blocks of water?

Come on, who can make it simpler?

This is the right answer

A gallium coin!

I watched some random small travel channels, and videos titled like “Why Vanlife sucks”, which apparently has become its own genre by now. I can’t find any really good ones anymore right now, though :( maybe this topic needs a community! I will post any videos I do find here, though.

Okay so I tried and I got a hard reality check, man. I watch way too much YouTube. Even when searching for key words I’m drowning in content or not finding anything. This is destabilizing.

For me it’s a mixture of schadenfreude, having people receive their comeuppance (as another here said) and also sympathy. I have had some bad travel experiences, and just sort of go “Oooh boy, that’s bad, come on, you got this! … but you also deserved this!”, as I might have deserved some of mine.

You have won my heart with “minor animal attacks on hikers”. Hello, friend!

When you watch it with an account, yes - and even then, I’m afraid to venture down into those depths 😬 I might try for you guys 😬

I’m trying to find some of the old videos that I watched, but it’s really hard! I guess that kind of content disappears quickly beneath the thousands of similar videos.

One of my favorites back then was a dude on his expensive BMW motorcycle traveling India, and in the chaotic traffic there he had a small crash and it bent his fork, and he also got a hairline fracture on his ankle, I believe.

So, the x-ray machines in the hospital was too bad to image that fracture. So that went untreated and caused him a looot of discomfort. Also, almost nobody in India rides such expensive BMW bikes, so it took him aaages and crazy amounts of money to get a spare part for that bike shipped from Germany, and to find a tech that could install it. It was excellent suffering born from luxury. Can recommend.

Yes, that might have been an early start into the genre for me! I fiercely love Karl Pilkington 🥲

But that is exactly what he recommends, using a password manager - with one time email authentication for the first login as an extra step, right?

I’d be interested in a discussion of his points here :) those sound like valid points he’s making

You’re not helping, but I sympathize (that AAF flashback is what got me unto this trail - and I got to AAF through this new Bam Margera doc that dropped on YouTube two weeks ago, maybe that will give you even more flashbacks)

Talk to c/hydrohomies if you have trouble with streets not being wet enough

Afaik you would destroy the coating on modern lenses, making it worse. That’s why I am intensely careful with mine, I only carefully wash them under warm water (not hot) with dish soap without additives, and then use a microfibre cloth to dry. Water and dish soap first to remove anything that could scratch, even microscopic stuff.

After around 4 years of this, mine are almost as good as new still.

It is. It also is more than that. Like an entertainingly bad movie, but it moves way slower and lasts way longer

Thanks for balancing the dichotomy, my man

Funny that you would call rendered content more valuable than hand-crafted art

I objectively did put up better content! I’m posting content on lemmy, I’m a savior, light some incense and inhale deeply, guys
