The sad thing is these videos and shorts were made for mass consumption, for views, likes and clicks.
No creativity or passion in their "art." I guess that is why these videos come off as unintentional funny.

Quote from: BoyScoutKevin on June 05, 2009, 04:54:39 PMWhat I miss most about the show. John Rhys-Davies as the narrator.


(And pretend that the Red Queen syndrome is a good thing. It seems like they could mix something like this up with crop circles or talking about crop circles for some extra flare. But no. Dig site here and a dig site over there and your head is just spinning and still no revelation of anything like a writing system in the Americas. Or if Gavin Newsome can tell us why the plumed serpent is a predictor of him becoming the next president. I mean if the Anasazi or some 8000 year old site in the American southwest showed that the Indigenous people had 3D mapping of the hippocampus region of the brain then maybe I would listen to this.)

Enlighten me. Who is Earthworm Jim?


I'm sure this is Wyrewizard posting 😀

Off Topic Discussion / Debunked historical facts?
Last post by Trevor - Today at 08:50:44 AM
The one I hear about most is the story of Hamilton Naki, the former gardener turned research assistant who was supposedly the first person to perform the first heart transplant in 1967 but was denied credit under apartheid and the acclaim was given to Dr Chris Barnard instead.

This has since been debunked as Naki was neither a doctor nor a surgeon.

Any other debunked historical facts? 😊

I'll check out OFF THE RAILS. It is said that if you know one person on the autism spectrum, you know one person on the autism spectrum. However fwiw I know (or know of) multiple people on the autism spectrum who are obsessed w/ trains.  :question: Seems odd, but it's a thing. Maybe Trains are the new Anime.

Good for you for reviewing these trends. I am unsurprised that the ladies in the videos have gradually started appearing w/ less clothes on. The Internet! :teddyr:

Just like those Ghibli-style videos, a new wave of AI-generated shorts has flooded feeds with titles like "You Wake Up And It's Christmas 1988," "1985," or "1981." Most likely churned out by content farms, these clips aim straight for pure nostalgia, evoking an era explicitly branded as "a long time before Wi-Fi."

These videos follow a remarkably predictable formula. They almost always feature a grandmother at the stove stirring pots while a younger relative puts the finishing touches on the Christmas roast. You can reliably expect a POV walk through a mall, shopping carts loaded with discontinued treats, a shot from inside a car driving through snowy streets, a husband hanging lights on the roof, and a cozy POV of someone holding a warm drink while watching a Christmas movie on TV.

Technically, the quality is surprisingly high, and I've noticed many are built using picture-to-video live-action techniques. Pop-culture nods default to Back to the Future or Home Alone, while the soundtrack in nearly every single video is Whitesnake's "Is It Love."

Lately, though, the trend has taken a weird turn, shifting its focus toward attractive young women, even featuring wildly out-of-place women in skimpy outfits cooking holiday meals. At this point, it honestly feels like being trolled.

Naturally, Summer and Autumn spin-offs of these 20-to-30-second clips have started popping up, too. It was fun for the novelty at first, but it's gotten far too repetitive, and it's obvious that the creators know next to nothing about what life in the 1980s was actually like.
