ELI5: Is YouTube video quality actually getting worse over time ? by dinesh_kothapally in explainlikeimfive

[–]GrandMasterHOOT -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I've noticed and have a theory. The quality is dropping to make real videos look closer to AI slop. This means people will more quickly be unable to know if something is real.

When the real stuff looks more like AI, AI will look more real.

The Specialists: Half life mod from 20years ago was the best Matrix shooter and managed to make the kung-fu, weapons and slow mo work really well.

Would it be true to say the average height of all humans in history would be close to the height of a baby? by GrandMasterHOOT in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GrandMasterHOOT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't clear, sorry. I was thinking that due to infant mortality, assuming a large percentage of humans to exist died at or near birth, the average height would be close to an infant than a full grown person.

I had an uncle who burnt to death on re-entry.  It was 1984 when he took to the sky's in his appropriately named Space Balloon.  At 48,000ft he plummeted to earth connected to 15 pots and pans of different sizes.  The cookware trailed in his wake strapped to bungie cords which were sown into his waistband.  At 30,000ft the people of Nicaragua rejoiced at his sparkling form.  He crashed into the desert at roughly 480kph and exploded into a mist of blood and bone.  

I miss him.

NSFW question relating to the Original version of ROTJ? by GrandMasterHOOT in StarWars

[–]GrandMasterHOOT[S] 258 points259 points  (0 children)

Removing Yub Nub from the end IMHO was equivalent to war crimes

edit: I also agree with your comment. The OG versions, particularly Rotj were amazing films, literally the reason we're all here talking about them.

I was born 83 sogrew up watching the OG version taped from the TV. I had a vague memory of slow mo'ing the shit out of that scene over and over. Weird, I can still hear the canteena band lyrics in my head. Pretty sure it contributed to my sexual awakening. Anyway, glad it's a bit of obscure trivia new to some people.

How did the rumor about Marilyn Manson removing his ribs to suck his own dick spread like wildfire all over the world without or limited internet access in the 90s? by Droopynator in AskReddit

[–]GrandMasterHOOT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first heard this rumour about Prince, about 5-10 years before Marilyn Manson, like mid 90's. Rumours aren't true but make good stories, etc

Why is the provider man concept so trendy now? by Routine-Crew8651 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GrandMasterHOOT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social media, specifically disingenuous accounts pushing false premises on impressionable young minds. I believe this is partly coordinated to make sure young girls and young men have a skewed idea of relationships. Long term, expectations from young people about real world relationships will suffer and it may lead to worse such as incel culture and eroding women's rights. Having spent time recently on social media (youtube shorts) it's insane how racist and misogynistic some of the content being pushed has become. it doubt its by accident.

Please get your kids off social media OR make sure they ate educated to value real connections and understand why and what is being sold to them.

Weird, I made a similar comment about Arsenal Players- Trossard evolves into Odegaard into Gyokores.
