62·2 months agoI towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said “yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?” And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes “they talk MAD shit in the show man.” Blew my mind.
There’s a grain of truth in here, but not quite. One in every four or so (not quite, but we can roll with it regardless) identified species of animal is a beetle. Not one in every four animals, by population nor overall species.
The reasons for this is are many, but may include because beetles are big, easy to catch, agriculturally-significant, and are particularly easy to pin and study, dramatically boosting the count of beetle species we work with on an academic level (lending to higher identification rates). There are also just a shitload of beetle species, naturally.
Scientists estimate something closer to ~10 million species of animals, which would still make beetles a huge percentage of the species, but a far cry from 25%. If you looked at the total number (estimated) of individual animals, beetles are pretty insignificant.

This was a hard post to read.
You’re not shadowbanned from YouTube. The creator you’re commenting on has simply “hid” you from their channel. Which ironically is a shadowban, just on a creator level.
The level of panic and outrage you’ve displayed here despite not having a clue as to how the mechanic you’re discussing works is remarkable.
11·1 year agoI always find it so extraordinary when someone replies to one of my comments with some off-the-wall shit like this.
You’re splitting hairs I already split. I specifically pointed out that their core products, you know, the things that actually matter, render the company among the most-reliable tech giants out there. I explicitly countered the notion that the fling-shit-and-see-what-sticks method is anything other than an elaborate R&D scheme.
Yet, here you are, responding to me raging about Google’s failproducts as if I didn’t JUST get finished explaining what that’s all about and how it doesn’t detract from their ability to generate income. They’re not lunatics, you just don’t understand what’s happening. Which again, is wild, because you’re literally responding to a comment where I explained what’s happening.
33·1 year agoMost excellent.
Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it’s here?
32·1 year agoMission Specialists.
They were given trivial tasks to perform to justify the title. It was in bad faith and should have rung alarm bells. But I anticipate for the luxury thrill-seeker, they may be accustomed to fancy titles for their trips, and didn’t even really think about it.
Quiche in a pan. Nothing to see here.
2·1 year agoFair enough, I suppose we’ll see soon enough. And it may or may not be extremely cathartic. :D
But that’s the thing. She isn’t taking the L on this. That’s my point. She seems to just be chillin’, doing fuck all. Everyone knows it’s Musk running it.
This isn’t a case where he needed to bring in a fall guy CEO for a difficult business choice. This is a case where he brought in a new CEO to literally save the corporation, and she’s doing nothing and nobody is blaming her. It’s surreal.
Nobody is talking about it, but does that advertising exec that Musk hired for CEO take a massive hit to her career for any of this?
It seems surreal to have a ghost CEO who isn’t responsible for anything such a large company does. But that’s exactly what’s happening here.
Emotionally oxymoronic?
It blew my mind because I wasn’t expecting it.
I don’t know. Never watched it.
That is what he meant. I interpreted it as “fuck yeah dude, that shit rules” more than “we talk shit” but who the hell knows.
