Fun fact: incognito mode won't stop the police from finding your search history if they want it. The history will be on your provider's systems, and your IP will be logged on every site you've visited. If you use a VPN and regularly cycle through IPs, it will make it harder, but the police (national or international) can still find that info. All incognito mode does is hide your search history locally and avoid saving the cookies from websites on your computer.

[@gabrote42]

That's why you use Tor and an OS like Tails

[@waffles3629]

Exactly. I operate under the assumption that all incognito does is not save my search history.

[@fendalynn6604]

For the VPN, it depends. For example, I set one up some time ago in one of my university’s library’s, because they didn’t whitelist MAC addresses for devices connected directly via ethernet. The logs on the device were scrapped every month, and it also (mainly) handled traffic from the original computer. It’s not 100%, but it improves security a lot. 100% is closer to the guy who bought a parabolic dish to be able to connect to the free wifi of a neighbouring fast food joint.

I've searched how certain areas of wounds are supposed to react/whether they're fatal and also searching parts or organs that would react a certain way when injured (usually stabbed) half the time I rarely find real answers but the point is, if you've done nothing wrong you shouldn't have anything to worry about

[@notrel3005]

I made a puzzle door once... It was in a room with a bag of dust of dryness and a desiccated corpse holding some beads. The solution I had set up was that if the door got wet, presumably from using one of the beads of magically dried water on the door, a runic pattern would appear showing a slot for a medallion the party had picked up 3 rooms prior. The barbarian got frustrated after he couldn't bash the door down (2 failed strength checks) and licked it for some reason... If the party couldn't figure out what I decided was the "correct" way to open the door, there were several other possibilities. Arcana would have revealed the runes, investigation would have found the medallion slot hidden amongst the decorative carvings, high enough strength would have knocked the door down, plus I would have considered any other creative solutions the party could come up with. But the barbarian defaulted to "insane" when strength failed... And it worked...

In my grade 13 biology class, we did Mendelian genetics stuff by crossing different kinds of fruit flies.

IIRC, this was done by putting them into a big plastic bag then running carbon dioxide into the bag from a cylinder. This knocked them out for a few minutes, then they revived and were fine.

@@hmspretender as someone who doesn't have resting bitch face but rather resting "I'll fucking kill you" face, I'd say that's entirely possible. People tend to put on some degree of mask (not necessarily a bad thing!) where they'll subconsciously or consciously, sometimes a mix of both, depending on the person, control certain muscles of their faces to appear more friendly and stuff like that. Your completely rested face isn't the one you usually use when interacting with people. Concentrating really intensely takes away resources from being able to keep that mask up AND will give you a concentration face on top of the rested, already less friendly looking face. That together results in… well, you see it in the video

He has found that if he takes his phone camera and uses that to look at where he is seeing the hallucinations, they don't also show up on the camera screen. So he is able to get through the moment and calm down enough with that reminder that the thing scaring him is just in his mind and not real.

@12:37 FUN FACT: Before the understanding of electricity Electric eels were referred to as a Numb eel, because of the numbing and paralysis to body caused by the fish. Yes fish, because electric eels are in fact fish, and not true eels. The same applies for the electric ray which were called Torpedo by the Romans meaning ‘to be stiffened’ in Latin. The Greeks refer to electric rays as Narke or Narce and used their shocks in medicine. It is believed to be the origin word for ‘Narcotic’.

[@target844]

Electricity has it name from the Greek for amber which can be used to create static electricity, which is the field where the study stars. It appeared in print in 1646. Electic eel was first studied by European naturals in the 1760s, they are native to South America. Gymnotus electricus was used for them by Carl Linneaus in 1766, it was changed in 1864 to Electrophorus electricus. The electric eel was directed and studied and organs with stacks of electrolytes were found in them. It influenced the thinking of Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta. Galvani stated study of electrical effects in other animals a Volta created the first batter. So electric eel inspired the fundamentals of non-static electricity research.

14:20 I think they explained it as a "perception filter" in the new Dr Who to explain why nobody notices the TARDIS despite a police call box being something that would be VERY conspicuous nowadays versus the 60s when they were quite common to see and would thus blend in in the 60s when the show was first made. The same was true of the time travel device in Bill and Ted being a phone box as a reference to Dr Who but also a design that would blend in back in the late 80s/early 90s. Nowadays it would stick out like a sore thumb, and the few phone boxes that do remain, at least in the UK, are used in cities as emergency defibrillator stations.

[@bossyboots5705]

Ok so I don't want to be the erm akhsually guy here, but as a whovian (surprised by the fact that the click knows it at all), it is my duty to spread the knowledge about niche nerdy stuff. The tardis doesn't in fact use a perception filter, it used to have a cloaking device, that failed and stuck to the police box. Now the doctor just rolls with it, BUT perception filters are in fact referenced many times throughout the newer seasons (5-11), and they are used to disguise or give the illusion of anything from sea monsters from saturnine to clothes. I believe what the click is talking about however would be more akin to Paranormal Activity IV.

5:47 ooh, this is a hot button issue. I heard that at the 2024 comic con Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack (creators of a show called Smiling Friends) threw a bunch of plushies of Glep (one of the characters from the show. Real plushies for the characters don't really exist yet so this was a big deal. I think they were also signed but I'm not sure) out into the crowd and obviously people were scrambling to get them, but apparently one of the lucky people decided to sell theirs on ebay for 5000$. There was a huge tizzy about it, a lot of people were so mad because 1. so many others in the crowd would have treasured it, and 2. they literally got it for free and are selling it for THAT MUCH

I love that the Emotional Support Demon will be permanent. Hopefully soon followed by Mango and Ceberus Duck?

10:45 as someone who keeps bugs as a hobby, trust me when I say bugs being sent like that through mail is actually fairly common, specially stuff like ant and bee queens, I think termite pairs too? Bugs in general can survive pretty well in tubes/small plastic boxes. I had a small plastic box with like 100 springtails recently delivered to me.

Ecstatic to hear about the Emotional Support Demon, missed it the first time thanks to a move eating all our money, missed the glow in the dark version thanks to both wage earning people in the household needing to go on short term disability, my housemate got me the keychain version, and I had it for maybe a week and then her dog stole it AND the Awkward Yeti Gallbladder mini plush (purchased for me after my gallbladder removal) that was chilling with him out of my purse and mauled them to death. My Mango does not deserve this isolation!

18:00 german "auf dem Schlauch stehen" describes this perfectly. It means "to stand on the hose" which is the metaphorical hose through which your thinking/ideas flow.
