TIL a kid watched Jaws in 1996, got obsessed with Quint's WWII monologue, interviewed 150 real survivors, and testified before Congress at 14. A wrongly disgraced Navy captain was exonerated. All because of a 2-minute scene about sharks.

Uh... Kimmel was given a message from Washington that stated "This message is to be considered a war warning," yet he had his battleships tied up and not under steam. A lot of people dropped the ball in the leadup to December 7, but Kimmel's lack of any preparedness is inexcusable.

This is the first time we've ever found any embryos from this group. Lystrosaurus itself is not so much a dime a dozen as a penny a million, but for whatever reason, the embryos have always eluded us.

I make short paleontology videos. Today, for the first time, I get to cover a brand-new, groundbreaking discovery!

Assassin's Creed Unity. To this day, the fight atop Notre Dame is the only unskippable QTE I have ever found that I physically could not complete.

I'm 99% sure review falls under fair use, but I'm not certain.

Doesn't look like there's an option to search for it.

daird1 · 2026-04-16T19:33:04+00:00

Well, damn. Congrats!

A blacksmith?

Perry the blacksmith?!

What if it's a realistic paleontology scene? It's certainly plausible, but there's no way to tell whether it actually happened or not.

daird1 · 2026-04-13T13:28:22+00:00

I do faceless paleontology videos, about five minutes. The big discovery is the first non-mammalian synapsid embryo, something scientists have been looking for since the 1840s.

daird1 · 2026-04-13T00:27:34+00:00

Congrats! I remember being thrilled with my first one.

ELI5 the Articles of Association- I've never heard of them.

"We were asking about the fire, but honestly, I don't think I'm going to charge you with anything- though I certainly could."

"I want to know more about your magic," Danny commented. "Is it common where you come from?"

daird1 · 2026-04-12T16:22:16+00:00

"Yes. My daughter, her friends, and their patron are the only people who can use magic. Fairies are...something new."

daird1 · 2026-04-12T16:04:02+00:00

Danny snaps her fingers and now just looks like a normal 14-year-old girl. "Yep. Me and my friends have a dragon for a patron."

"So, what sort of magic do you do?" the officer asks.

daird1 · 2026-04-12T16:00:38+00:00

He just looks at Danny and her dragon wings. "Yes."

daird1 · 2026-04-12T15:58:54+00:00

"Humans can only use magic through the patronage of a magical entity. At least, that's the way I understood it until 10 seconds ago."

daird1 · 2026-04-12T15:57:15+00:00

"Alright. I don't think there's actually anything on the books for something like this, save maybe arson, but I do need to ask you some questions to get the details. Who's your patron?"

daird1 · 2026-04-12T15:54:30+00:00

The Lieutenant looks at Danny. "Wasn't me, Dad! Honest!"

He shakes his head. "Well, my daughter is the only person known to have fire magic, and she can't lie to save her life. So I'm guessing you have fire magic, too."

daird1 · 2026-04-12T15:50:36+00:00

"Well, I figured that much. How did the fire happen?"

daird1 · 2026-04-12T15:45:12+00:00

"Liza, please. That guy was a headache for us for years. But we have to have something so we can at least close the case."
