(the dragonfruit also was a particularly large specimen, but unmistakably a dragonfruit, they're pretty distinctive. makes you wonder why they didn't do a video on unusually large fruits instead, it would have been more honest)

to be fair the thumbnail also contains a picture of something we didn't recognise at first glance, so that could be what they're trying to draw people in with

but looking at it closer it appears to be slices of some kind of large citrus fruit with the rind removed, possibly a particularly large grapefruit

weird findings in youtube recommendations: a video titled "15 exotic fruits you won't believe exist" where the thumbnail is... someone holding a dragonfruit

i'm pretty sure i believe dragonfruit exists, internet person. we can get them at our local grocery store

as it turns out, the process of forming an oxide on silicon carbide (an essential step in making a MOSFET) also just so happens to selectively worsen the properties of the silicon carbide in exactly the part of the transistor that happens to be most sensitive to them

we just saw a comment on a video about piezoelectricity where someone was hypothesizing about where the whole healing-crystal belief may have originated, and a few other people replying to it

one of the replies was someone following a pattern we've seen in a lot of proponents of this kind of stuff? where they start by demeaning the people they're talking to (calling them "human lemmings" in this case), use lots of ellipses in their text, and repeatedly express their condescending pity for people being "brainwashed" by science (here, every other sentence had "[sentence]... so sad..... [more sentence]")

i have to wonder what people are trying to accomplish with that kind of stuff. do they think that's going to convince people that they're right? or do they just want to feel like they're somehow superior??

I'm not really going anywhere with this we've just seen that same pattern a number of times and i'm curious where it comes from

@D6016 a kobard!
-F

@Zest you're a lovely kobold and i always like seeing you around
-F

@Tathar which you could also swap the direction they attach in, though
-F

@Tathar It could have gone into the dock upside down though

@nautilee for positive stuff design wise i think we have to admire nintendo's willingness to put active cooling in a handheld/tabletoidal thing, because they would have had to really compromise on performance without it, but no one else does this for some reason

seriously our phone overheats from just trying to use google maps, it would really have benefited from a fan
-F

@nautilee oh, have you not had to deal with joycon drift?

but yeah that's the only like, *design* issue with it. the reliability issue is separate
-F

@sharkNserg oh that makes sense

how you'd build walls with bricks, or with legos

...what do you do if the pallet is full of cubes
-F

still think that putting the charging port on the bottom of the switch was a bad idea
-F

@sharkNserg as a non forklift driver, what's the problem with these? just stacked too high?
-F

they're just, friend, but then *more* friend
-F

i appreciate taurs
-F

why is youtube recommending me a video about the legend of zelda in what appears to be either arabic or farsi
-F

@heatherhorns i don't think i coudl tell you much of anything if you put a gun to our head, to be fair. we'd be too busy with a panic attack
-F

i wonder what they'll do for the next pokemon remakes, considering how there were two sets of gen 5 games
