followed by happieness because you found it on some .ru subdomain with 99% ads

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

of which 85% got the uBlock Origin treatment and 4% contain my current public-facing IPv4 address

[–] shoki 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

what do you mean by "contain my ip address"? are you behind carrier-grade NAT that some of the hosters are using as well?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, I'm refering to socially engineering scam ads like the classic "ATTENTION! your Windows has error, click here to fix it."

[–] shoki 2 points 4 months ago

yeah, i see what you mean, but I haven't seen on of those in a long time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

But she gets her box beat.

Except for that one video I can't find again, that one was good

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I imagine that's a horny thing

Shame

There are a billion straight up shitposts in YouTube that sent my sides to the orbit of Proxima Centauro, but which I couldn't ever find again in my life because yeah titles and SEO keywords aren't a thing

Even though YouTubes search is fucked it still works incredibly well for Simpsons clips.

Search "premium dude". Bam.

Search "prawns galaxy". Bam

Search "undivided attention". Bam.

It's crazy. For whatever reason, if you're looking for Simpsons content, the algorithm still feels like it's 2017.

I feel this says more about the Simpsons and its place in pop culture than it does about the quality or otherwise of Google's algorithm

I still can't find the bit where he goes, "let's go SHOPPING."

Edit: Never mind, found it.

Use google’s site search and filter by date to get YouTube results

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not a terrible idea for a lot of things, but one of the shit posts living rent free in my head was literally just called "bunny"

[–] tpihkal 30 points 4 months ago

What is this about? Why do I feel shame?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Same but with music:

When typing lyrcs in the search bar finally yelds the song you have been searching for decades

There's this one, 11-second video I found, and I wish for the life of me I could find even the slightest clue to a name! 😭

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I will probably regret this, but can you describe it?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 months ago (3 children)
[–] GeneralVincent 18 points 4 months ago

Omg I can practically see it, incredible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Ah I remember that video. It was a good one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Sorry, none of that on the internet anymore. Fresh out.

[–] itsnicodegallo 3 points 4 months ago

Despite being uploaded several months ago, I left a comment on there shortly after leaving my comment on here that was replied to with "Looks like [__________] from Reddit", and they were right!

But a lady never tells. 🤐

[–] z00s 17 points 4 months ago

Non horns story time ...

A long time ago I was but a young lad living in eastern Europe and I use to watch this cartoon. The actual content of this cartoon are lost to the ravages of my memory but a few things stood out, the main character had a flying board and the opening sequence was him flying through these hallways that were broken into geometric shapes and there was a big face that he flew towards.

Sometime later especially during university it became a recurring niggling idea. Did it exist or was it some dream or fantasy? I'd get enthused once in a while and try searching the depths of the net for it with no luck.

It wasn't until I had graduated and was working, close to 20 years after the fact that I found it ! The name of this show is now imprinted on my brain.

The same thing happened to me with a few memories:

  • People turning into blocks and interlocking to form a city. It turned out to be Unico: Island of Magic.
  • Some evil guy crawling into a painting, and something about hair growing. This was a fucked up movie called The Peanut Butter Solution. This one legit scared the shit out of me as a kid and I had nightmares about it.
  • A guy being surrounded with evil looking puppets. This was a stage show called In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo. I didn't remember this one until the youtube channel RedLetterMedia made fun of it.

These must have just been random VHS tapes my parents got in some bargain bin. I have no idea how we got them or what became of them.

If anyone can find kipplets prayer again I'd be very grateful. Seems like the original audio was scrubbed from the Internet.
