My mom told me that it's gonna happen Tuesday and Nation wide because and I quote

"Ai and the arabs are attacking us!! TheirTheir gonna shut down our power grids and water supply! Be prepared"

my moms words not mine. But I'm just wondering if theres any proof of this other than the Simpsons? Because that and supposed news articles that she never showed me are my moms leading source.

Started seeing things like this yesterday

I primarily watch long form content, especially video essays, and I've noticed multiple creators I usually enjoy keep using by and large. It's to the point that I'll play these videos in the background while working and boom, by and large attack. Is it ai's newest favorite buzzword or something? Did some famous person start making it popular to join the common internet lingo?

It's not really any one creator in particular but multiple video essayists who I don't recall using it in the past or at least not as often.

Per rules for a link, https://m.youtube.com/@RayLikeSunshine probably uses it the most but it's several and includes people in social critique, furry content, gaming, and science. I keep trying to find the origin of why it's been trending but reddit is my only active social so for all I know it's bled from some other social media platform.

All I know is it feels like listening to music but right when the song gets to the chorus an obnoxiously loud ad starts playing. I've stopped a few videos that I was otherwise enjoying because of how infuriating I find the phrase, especially if the speaker uses it multiple times. I just gotta know why it keeps popping up.

Im not American so I know absolutely nothing about this

Why was there a nationwide ground stop, why is it such a big deal and why do people call for the transportation secretary to resign after this?

I don't use Google Search, but I hear it's broken now. What's happening and how and why is it broken?

I just saw this Financial Times article:

https://www.ft.com/content/a7e0f7f2-d98c-4888-b211-00c1383d1b8c?syn-25a6b1a6=1

I'm confused because the article states that they are now in the appeal phase of the procedure, and then sanctions will come next, but even that can be appealed. So the whole process could take until May of next year!

So how is Manchester City still playing in the league while they are being investigated? I think I read that the sanctions can include deducting points from them, which will cost them wins.

But what if Manchester City wins a bunch of games, and these wins are just taken away at the end of the season? What's the point of other teams even playing them? How can these teams just go on while this process is ongoing?

My first thought "Is that a dih slowly going flaccid?"

Links are random from an immediate search regarding posts containing the emoji. I have no idea. I read a post from here 5yrs ago saying it meant white/wheat, maybe asian/rice, but it seems to have changed meaning.

I don’t think this one violates the rules but I apologize if it does. I’m just unsure where else to ask.

For reasons beyond me there’s people out there who insist the stories about China’s abuse of its Uyghur population are “made up by the CIA” and will get super aggressive if you try to interrogate that claim. I honest to god didn’t know how to respond to that because it’s so out of left fiend.

So far as I know the US barely talks about the Uyghurs, and I certainly didn’t learn about them fron any US outlet. I honestly don’t know what any of this has to do with the CIA or the US in general?

Is this a thing that people actually beleive or was I just around crazy people? I have never been so taken off guard and confused in my life.

There's the PHP thing a few weeks ago. There's the outlook thing today. About 1/3 of Japanese firms have been hacked/compromised. I'm getting emails from places like my dentist's office saying they've been hacked (anecdotal, but some crazy timing.)

Some of this started back in September and October, but is not only "on going" but seemingly ramping up. What's going on? Or is this normal happenings that the news algorithms are pushing?

Some podcasters were calling her “the only blemish in her family” and saying she slid into other mens’ DMs. Link to article.

This sounds like gossip, but I am wondering where did this rumor originate? Did she mention something in an interview? This just feels mean-spirited and I see a lot of posts around reddit tearing her down too. I am trying to understand where this hate is coming from.

I'm on vacation staying in a hotel room. Was flipping through the TV channels and came across what I've known since the 90's to be South Park, but it's now South America, however the characters are still clearly in the same town.

Was there a lawsuit or something? Is it a joke that's going over my head? Even the intro song by Primus has changed the wording to say "South America".

It's been playing on Comedy Central all night and I figured one of the episodes would have some sort of reference but no luck thus far.

Over the past 24 hours my timeline has been bombarded by tweets expressing shock and amazement and being able to copy gifs. The language is generally the same and despite my best efforts to mute all variation of the phrases used, more are still slipping onto my timeline.

Is it a bug? Is it spam? Please someone help me to understand.

BTW I'm not Neal, but as I opened X to find an example of these tweets, his popped up asking the same question I am!

I don’t follow Marvel or DC particularly closely, but I saw today that DC show Lanterns was cancelled despite supposedly being a hit, and now James Gunn is reportedly out as head of the DCU.

Now the /r/DCU is full of memes about Netanyahu and Israel as well. Was James Gunn’s firing and the cancellation of Lanterns related to Israel in some way? I never saw Gunn’s Superman movie from last year, but my understanding is that it was an allegory for Israel and the Gaza genocide. Was there another development that led to this?

A lot of Dude fans seem to absolutely HATE the newest trailer for Done 3, but I haven’t yet figured out why.

What’s up with everyone mourning this shipwreck from the 70s?? what the heck! I’ve heard nothing about this at all and all of a sudden, everyone is posting about it. WTFFFF?!??

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1tojrbk/patricia_taxxon_fans_allegedly_harrasses_friend/ I have no idea what is going on and I can't figure out how to verify how many of the serious things she's being accused of actually have anything to do with reality since I KNOW some of the stuff people tried to flame her for in the past has been based on wild misinterpretations of fairly benign statements she's actually made, so I need someone who's actually been keeping up to tell me what tf is going on and why

I've been seeing a lot of posts from official accounts as well as meme pages that are talking about the Embassy of Finland in Canberra being closed, other embassies of Finland worldwide responding, etc. Is this a meme? Did something actually happen in one of the embassies?

Haven't played in a while. I've heard that the devs are constantly stealth nerfing weapons and pushing the game to be more of a "mil-sim" instead of a power fantasy, but surely some unwanted nerfs and tweaks here and there doesn't justify a 28% positive review score by itself? As far as I can tell the game is mostly still what it was when it launched but with more content. What did they do.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/

The actual negative reviews don't seem to reveal much. Youtubers are all very biased and sensationalist and usually start the recap at the very beginning of launch. DID something happen or is this just cumulative from small, unwanted changes over the years and their most loyal, remaining, and disgruntled fans the only ones leaving reviews anymore?

i see like 2 or 3 posts on my homepage about this topic and i have no heckin' clue what's going on

here's a few

• "Imagine explaining to someone from 2016 that a decade from now, twitter Nazis will be posting about Star Wars and Genderbent Harry Potter Fanfic while Twitter leftists will be posting Mussolini edits about voting" <- reading this post was like witnessing someone having an aneurysm

• "How did that chud victory turn out?" i guess this ai-generated slytherin girl is what malfoid is?????

It's been over a year and a half since his last upload and over a year since his last patreon post, which was also around the time stopped making the one podcast he was still doing. He's still charging his patrons every month on patreon (although hard to say how many of them are, he made the info private in 2021 when it was at 13k members aka $40K/month). He still constantly changes the titles and thumbnails on all his old content (not just youtube's built-in A/B testing feature either which only allows 3 options, there's been some videos of his, some many many years old, that have gone through easily more than a dozen different titles and thumbnails in the last year.)

And as for the subreddits (/r/cgpgrey, /r/cgpgrey2) as far as I remember, a few years ago both subreddits used to be open to user posts. The first subreddit was moderated by Grey and the second was moderated by fans, if my memory serves correct. But it seems at some point he requested control of the latter too, and user posts are now no longer allowed on either. As he also restricts comments on his videos to paid supporters only, there isn't really anywhere on the internet for his general audience to discuss his content. What gives?

Having read this article, it was not immediately clear to me why the US intelligence community thinks this yielded good results. I can’t imagine many corporate chipmaking CEOs are sharing the wafer baking process or other IP with the women they sleep with?
