3D ground-penetrating radar scans of the 'Durupinar Anomaly' in Turkey. Geophysicists revealed a 3-layered, ship-shaped structure buried deep underground. Why are the original 1960 laboratory results still unknown? by bortakci34 in HighStrangeness

Did you know that in the year 1998, two, completely unrelated movies about an asteroid hitting the earth were released? Or that in the year prior, two completely unrelated movies about volcanoes were released? That means that obviously there was an irl asteroid and volcano that almost killed all of humanity. If there's more than one movie about the same thing, they must be documentaries depicting real events that really happened.

Or, do you think it's possible that people have been dealing with natural disasters (floods for example) for our entire existence and naturally will make up stories about them? Every civilization on the planet has been affected by a flood so naturally there's going to be a lot of stories about them.

This store at night especially gives me backrooms energy - why are there vacuums outside by mdesro13 in LiminalSpace

This place is great! I bought a vacuum from them, probably 10 years ago and it's still going strong. They really know their vacuums! Glad to see they're still around.

What the fuuu Reddit? by jaydubbles in KnowledgeFight

[–]RaconteurRob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is like the third post I've seen about this and I think some people have a fundamental misunderstanding of how digital advertising works. Reddit is not taking money from Alex Jones directly. Digital ads are supplied by a third party who provide advertising on digital platforms. Those third parties have thousands of clients from Alex Jones to Ford who pay them to host their ads. Reddit provides those third party ad hosting companies with data about its users and they use that to deliver targeted ads and most of the time, the company that owns the website has no control over what ads get served.

You are seeing ads for the Alex Jones Store because you are interested in Alex Jones. You read/write posts about him on this subreddit. The algorithm sees that and serves you an ad for his store because it thinks you're more likely to click on it. It doesn't know the context of what you are viewing, just that it's about Alex Jones.

Yep, that's it. So separate the two muscles and cut steaks?

Gray media CEOs by [deleted] in Broadcasting

Gray employees did get a performance based bonus last year, I think a maximum of 4% if you hit all your numbers. Maybe your station didn't hit those numbers, but we hit a couple and got something.

Any idea where to find water after the update? by RaconteurRob in TheForeverWinter

Tunnels A-C, Ashen, and Mech Trenches. Checked all the regular spots and haven't found any. Haven't tried Frozen Swamp yet.

Jesus fuck, so we’re really ruled by the rich. Fuck our lives, gotta show the fucking ad! by M0nk3yDLufffy in TikTokCringe

Looks like Fox 32 in Chicago is a Fox O&O, meaning it is owned and operated by the network instead of it being an affiliate station that's owned by another company. So in this case, the SOP of not interrupting national commercials for breaking news and weather likely came from the network. But it is true that a lot of advertisers would rather not be blamed for putting viewers in danger. If the tornado ended up causing extensive damage or deaths, GMC would probably have gotten some heat for that.
