A green plastic watering can…

I can’t wait until A.I. image gen gets really good and then somebody on Lemmy will claim every single picture ever made is A.I. I really can’t wait.

In a proper wood-fired pizza oven, the fire is on the same level as the pizza. The only time I’ve seen this design is from ignorant DIYers on YouTube. It seems like a terrible idea and you’re just going to keep getting the results you’re having. It’s inevitable.

Just build a bed of bricks, and a dome of bricks above it, and put the fire on top of the bricks, and the radiant heat will cook your pizza.

The long-range version sounds amazing. Bigger battery and 750W motor. I’m very tempted to preorder one right now. I’ve been looking at the XP 3 for a while, but decided to wait to see what the 4 had to offer, and it looks great!

The text-based Zelda games from the DOS era aren’t worth playing. I would start with “The Legend of Zelda” on the NES.

Four? Four people is an amount you wouldn’t have guessed?

I didn’t read the article, and it wasn’t until your third paragraph that I realized it was about written sentences and not prison sentences.

Not water. Soup.

This is the internet. Just do it.

Testing

It’s just a joke. A pun, and a light-hearted jab at anyone who likes their terminal so much they play games in it, or design games for it.

Some people are terminally in the terminal.

Every piece of art must be accompanied with a time lapse showing its production.

I call BS on this particular experiment. I just don’t trust that they did it right.

Those $2 gas station lasers shoot faint light out in a large cone. What I mean is, look at the barrel of one of those lasers when it’s on. (Don’t aim it at your eye, obv.) There is almost a 180° range where you can see red light at the tip of the laser.

He’s holding the laser directly above the mirror at a 45° angle, so some of that scattered light will be hitting the mirror. Just because the camera can’t see the laser’s tip in the mirror doesn’t mean it’s not visible from the mirror’s perspective. There’s an enormous amount of parallax between the two perspectives. It’s so stupid that he looks at the camera’s view and says, “You cannot see the laser light at all, right?”, and doesn’t realize it’s because of parallax! 🤦

Meanwhile, even we the viewers can see laser light in our camera when it’s not aimed even remotely toward us. Look:

So this diffuse light is hitting the mirror and film, and because it’s a diffraction grating, some of it is redirected to the camera.

Do I doubt that there are bizarre physics that can happen in proper experiments like this? No. I don’t doubt people like Feynman. I just think this experiment is bullshit. Much like the entire channel.

The rest of this comment is just a rant. You should probably stop reading.

I can’t stand that guy’s absolutely fake reaction. There’s no way he didn’t do this experiment a few other times in front of the camera, and he’s just making this over-the-top, fake, hysterical, “WHAT!? OH MY GOD, NO WAY!” Over and over. Ugh.

Speaking of fake. Why is the video call on this laptop screen edited in? It jumped right out at me as soon as I saw it.

The top and bottom edges of the video aren’t parallel to the screen, and there’s no glare. The bottom edge is the worst:

Why would he fake this? It’s a one-second clip. It’s not even important. I guess he needed more B roll of himself looking thoughtful and nodding.

I hate Veritasium ever since that incredibly dumb video about the “speed of electricity” where he made electricity sound all mystical and magical, and didn’t once use the word “induction”, and basically lied about everything. It was so bad that a dozen other science YouTubers had to make reaction videos explaining how wrong he was. Like Alpha Phoenix.

Veritasium is overproduced garbage masquerading as science.

Is that a Magic: The Gathering card?
