This one got hardcoded subs, but it's also cropped. Ah well.
@trinsec youtube translations suck!
@trinsec Its a classic at this point :)
This is now officially my personal theme song
@strawberryfieldsforever Pretty much.. If its britney spears, or sounds like britney spears, and it is popular, it is pop :)
@strawberryfieldsforever It is considered pop as well, but to me pop isnt even a genre. Pop just means its mainstream and popular.. but hey im no expert on this stuff
@strawberryfieldsforever Alternative rock.
@trinsec I'll save you a seat :)
@trinsec registered an account on the fediverse was the first step in my descent to hell :)
@conatus Yea, I mean, if you take it with a grain of salt then its not bad. The problem is a lot of times when people hear a "fact" for the first time it tends to stick. So some of the missteps he makes can cause people to retain those ideas and perpetuate them (they are often common mistakes so they are easily reinforced).
I am not against his channel, but I dont hold it in as high a regard as some of the more educated and well informed tech channels that dont tend to make those kind of missteps.
I was thinking "add conspiracy theorist and its just another day on the fediverse"
@conatus I cant remember all the specific examples right now. But I recall that my impression was that he didnt have a good understanding of the topics he talks on and it felt like he read up on them by reading a wikipedia article before hand and just reciting what he read.
Its usually only when he tried to explain those facts or infer something from it that it showed he didnt understand them. The facts he cited from the wikipedia page were accurate enough, so he clearly did some research.
@conatus
I like many of his topics but he doesnt seem to understand the topics he describes. Anytime he hits on anything i have a good enough understanding on i realize half of what he says is just plain wrong. It has led me to stop watching his channel entierly.
Watch "Bismuth & Perchloric Acid: Mysterious Metal M chemistry" on YouTube
