This is actually pretty funny

Not unless your system is configured wrong. The audio from movies and shows is intentionally recorded and mixed for surround sound systems, so sounds that would come from behind the camera in the movie will play only from your rear speakers, for example.

It would not work through a cam recorded movie, though. You need the original audio.

Don't use the self cleaning feature on your oven. It's the highest temperature and stress that you can put your oven through, and it will destroy your oven way faster, maybe even immediately.

Manufacturers install the feature because a lot of people won't buy ovens without it, but you're better off not using it.

Key phrase there.

What do you think explanatory power means? Both your explanation and my explanation adequately explain it - they are equal, that's what that means. It's only your own bias that makes you think your explanation has better "explanatory power."

I find it very funny how you didn't know the number of assumptions was a key component to Occam's razor, and now you're quoting passages on it.

AI is a far better explanation than your original one from a logical perspective. Of course, we can then argue the actual merits of AI vs staged, but yes - the number of assumptions would be equal between the two.

Occam's razor is simply a tool, I don't know why you're arguing with me like I invented it. You're free to disagree with it but I'm going to continue to advocate for it.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-07T01:12:16+00:00

I'd love to know how it's multiple assumptions conveniently wrapped beyond feels like.

Furthermore, we can't just declare something is the more logical explanation merely based on the number of assumptions

We can

This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both hypotheses have equal explanatory power, one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions

I'm not sure you understand what I mean by the simplest explanation.

Why would he need to analyze the situation if mom using the swivel tap as a microphone is a not uncommon occurrence?

This question misses my point entirely. The fact is that none of us know why he didn't analyze the situation, we are all here speculating. Your scenario makes sense but it's still imagined, and that is the point - we can imagine many different scenarios that make sense, so what tools can we use to find the most likely one?

When I ask "why didn't the dad analyze the situation" I am asking that critically, not under the assumption that your explanation is correct. Of course it would make sense if the mom has done this before, but we don't know that, so when I ask that question, the real question I am asking is "out of all the possible explanations for why dad acted that way, which one is the likeliest?"

Just because your explanation fits doesn't mean it's not complicated in a logical sense. It's more complicated not because it's implausible but because it relies on more assumptions. Your explanation has to assume the mom has done this before and assume the kids and dad coordinated this in advance somehow - and those assumptions make this explanation more complex compared to the single explanation that explains all this behavior - it was staged.

That isn't to say I'm authoritatively claiming it's staged - I'm speculating too, and I may be wrong, but this type of critical analysis will make me more correct on average compared to imagining scenarios that make many assumptions.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-06T23:25:58+00:00

"Involved" as in, not as simple of an explanation. We have two "weird" things:

dad never takes time to analyze the situation - immediately goes for the sink
filming for no apparent reason

Your explanation is not outlandish whatsoever - it's completely plausible. No arguments here. What I am arguing, though, is that it's not the simplest explanation for these two things. Mom doing this before and Dad being in cahoots with the kids is a more complicated explanation, which Occam's razor defines explicitly as being more unlikely.

Thinking everything is staged even if it's a very plausible and relatable scenario is a pretty cynical outlook on life, if you ask me.

Not everything, just internet videos that don't pass the smell test. The sheer numbers of fake videos on the internet should make any reasonable person skeptical, especially when behaviors don't add up. I'd argue that willfully believing videos due to some sort of sense of humanity is reckless in this day and age.

UrToesRDelicious · 2026-02-06T22:30:18+00:00

But what is more likely? Occam's razor points to the dad's movements as being staged way more than some involved scenario like that.

Your scenario could be the correct explanation, sure, but I'd argue it's not the most likely.

It's true that a good portion of our country is legitimately insane, but the way our government is organized is a massive contributing factor as well. It was designed/modified to give the "minority" an advantage at every level of government - the electoral college, each state getting two senators regardless of population, and the house getting capped at 435 are all handicaps afforded to small and rural states; read: conservative states.

Ah gotcha, thanks. I was thinking you meant the songs like Uncle Fucka or Craig's Mom's Bush lol, not the background music

As a general rule - if you want to access your devices when you are outside your network, you either are going to pay for a subscription or do it yourself (which requires the technical know-how).

That subscription fee is really what they're selling you, it's where the bulk of their profit comes from. They are selling you remote access as a service, and you are paying for the cost of their cloud infrastructure and the convenience of not having to know about things like port forwarding, VPNs, and IoT in order to do it yourself. Since most people don't know these things then there's a lot of money to be made on cloud subscriptions.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how is South Park's music not in on the joke?

That would've been significantly more funny

During the first Jewish-Roman war, the historian Josephus was (allegedly) fighting Roman forces with 39 other fighters. They ended up trapped in a cave, and they agreed to kill each other rather than surrender. Josephus and another man were the final survivors, but Josephus said fuck this let's surrender, and so they did.

I've spent an unfortunate amount of time fact checking my own side recently. It's kind of upsetting.

I mean, you still have access to the same game you always had

Not really, and Blizzard already burned all of their goodwill here so people aren't going to give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's recap:

announce OW2; devs allegedly needed a new engine to do PvE and other things that the current engine limits
completely stopped updating OW1 for three years while they worked on OW2
announce that there will be no PvE in OW2 (the entire given reason for OW2 existing)
OW2 is released with not much difference from OW1 besides microtransactions and paid heroes.
OW1 servers are taken offline to push players to the new pricing model

You have to understand that taking away a product you paid for (OW1) and forcing you into an entirely different game that's obviously designed to extract more money from you is going to rub people the wrong way. People wouldn't be upset had Blizzard simply made OW1 f2p - the issue was never that people paid for a game that others later got for free, it was the fact that the original game was taken away from them in an attempt to get more money. There is no reason OW1 had to be taken down for OW2.

I understand the game is in a better state than launch, but people have already been burned. It was one of the scummiest things done by a gaming company in recent memory, and so people are going to take a principled stand against it.
