  • It wasn't necessary, he was staying alive

  • Maybe it's just nostalgia but in my opinion, with youtube it went all to shit the moment the money started to be involved. Algorithm chasing, advertisement, reactive content, sponsors, quickly generated videos, ... and all the other shit.

    So if monetization, then let's try to avoid same mistakes

  • And back then they weren't called "memes" but we called them (de)motivational pictures

    TIL Bologna was a city full of towers between the 12th and the 13th century

  • I can't answer because I have it exactly the same as you OP, just maybe to add some points. As you said, I remember seeing my friends having this incredible drive, this incredible pull, like nothing in the world is more important right here right now than to get that girl tonight. Lying, backstabbing, spending money, anything goes. It was to the point they basically changed personalities almost completely. I remember the worst example was that one time one of my best friends tried to ridicule me in front of a girl he met like 30 min ago (and I saw he's immediately interested in her), because me and her were chatting about something and she seemed interested in the topic. I was like "dude wtf? I'm not trying to 'steal her' from you, we're just talking"

    But anyway, some 2 cents what helped me with that. So I did 2 things at almost the same time and I'm not sure which one did the trick - I started exercising (running) and stopped masturbating. But my guess is it was the later, after like a month I felt like I could 'smell the colors' - I was constantly horny and my shyness went almost completely away. The pull still wasn't on the level of my friends, but yeah, there was a change in me

  • This. To put it simply, people respond better to what's familiar and to what has a clear goal. F.e. if you're about to open a restaurant, don't sell power tools in it. If you want to sell powertools, create a separate store

    TIL Nauru is the most obese country in the world, it's estimated that 94.5% of Nauruans are overweight or obese

  • I'm from the 90s and can confirm this is true

  • Yes but only because of a guy in 1910s who looked into it

    The identity of Henry Symeonis was only (re-)discovered in 1912 by the then Keeper of the University Archives, Reginald Lane Poole. In an article for the English Historical Review, he looked at the curious statute and tried to get to the bottom of the Henry Symeonis mystery.

  • This is fake, no one can code like that

  • TIL people don't know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my "daily bread" when I was little, never realized that this isn't common

  • There're still older Civilizations I haven't played so I'm not worried

  • I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some "creative" math to get that number

    His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion

    Good catch, I should read the sources better and don't trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)

  • I suppose Voyager but I still use Sync. And don't call me Newbie

  • rethinks ability to compete with netflix

    Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don't know if it's a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change

  • Don't forget the 2012, possibly the biggest threat to humanity in our lifet .... I can't finish this with a straight face :D
