  • Back in the day most media was designed around commercial interruptions. Watch some old cartoons on Netflix, they often have “fade to black” moments after which the last 10 seconds are repeated. Nowadays commercials are algorithmically inserted into content to maximize viewership, meaning that more often then not a YouTube commercial will play right before the most important bit of the video.

    But on the flip side. If you tell somebody something they don’t know like:

    ‘You can open links in new tabs by klicking on them with the mouse wheel.’

    Or

    ‘You can reopen closed tabs by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T’

    They look at you like you’ve just shown them the meaning of life. Bonus points if you see them using it later.





  • A shitty life situation has never stopped anybody from having kids. Quite the opposite, the less educated a society and the lower the prospect of comfort, the more kids people have. Poor and miserable people fuck for fun and don’t care about proper contraceptives, resulting in more kids. Further more, people believe that the more kids you’ll have, the more likely it is that one of them is going to end up rich and successfull.
