I feel like this is genuinely peak Smosh era. The main channel is doing great, Ian and Anthony sketches are back, and Smosh Pit and Games is absolutely hilarious and thriving.

How do navigate the internet as a blind person genuinely curious lol

[@lightningkiki6090]

@@virgoundead Either you get someone to help you or a lot of stuff now have the setting to change to an alternative interface that blind people can use. I think it usually consists of the device reading out what the mouse is hovering over and then you just use normally. In the case of phones I think it usually reads out what you are pressing, so you navigate by holding your finger down and moving, and then double tap to activate. Sometimes these interfaces can be used to let blind ppl take selfies/pictures of people on their own, the device can say how many faces are on screen so the blind person can figure out if they are in frame. Your phone (assuming it's a smartphone) will probably have the option to change to such an interface. I have an Iphone and on there it's called "voiceover", but different phones will have different names.

I love how most people revisit their old stuff and cringe, but Anthony specially is like "Yeah, this shit slaps". Self love goals!

[@SethiKinsGaming]

that's because people's older stuff usually is lower quality, and because they know that they can do better now, they cringe. Anthony knows that this is high quality even for today's standards, so of course he'd compliment the hard work put into it by both him and everyone else involved.

[@Brandon2940]

Well I mean... it still DOES slap!

[@c3vzn]

Anthony was exactly like that too. Their older reaction videos are just Anthony cringing at genuinely funny videos.

[@hillomunkkiseni]

This might be a good moment to admit that this song helped me so much when I was like 13 and having a very shitty life and was having so bad anxiety I was struggling to sleep, and what helped me was downloading this song onto my phone and then putting it on loop from headphones the whole night, helped me feel grounded and safe enough to fall asleep and lessened the risk of nightmares... :D now some 10 years later and it's still the only occasion when I have had a clear comfort-thing for a longer period of time (I have ADHD so usually things come and go quite fast but that comfort ritual lasted for several months) :D

[@mutantsandmemes]

As weird as this sounds, this song is what brought me and my brother’s relationship back. I was separated from my family age 12 and didn’t properly see each other until I was 20 years old. We used to blast this song when we were younger and run around pretending to tomahawk invisible enemies. Seeing each other again almost ten years later. It was super awkward but I put this song on as my brother was driving and it was like nothing had ever changed ❤️
