True, but also I feel like that’s small potatoes by comparison.
And also I feel like it’s related to the publicity of the thing that is supposedly a conspiracy. with the sr71 nobody even knew to look into it; with the moon landing, people were following the very public demonstrations every step of the way.
Looks like Big Math got to you
I’ve got a few oldies I can’t decide:
And someone else already posted Joby
Reminded me of this
God this had me crying in stitches the first time I saw it. Classic
I have a soft spot for corpsing
I kinda get what you mean, in that sense. “It’s bad here so why can’t you believe it’s bad there?”
But the dangers they pose are so different in nature that it’s inviting criticism; lots of things are dangerous in specific circumstances but fine normally.
Anyways, you’re taking the criticism better than I’m able to lol
Why people use comic sans
(Don’t come at me, dyslexic people)
That is what they’re supposed to do.
But you’re talking about an operating environment way outside of what they were designed for.
ICE cars suck.
But cars aren’t driving around the road and spewing out CO in such concentration that’d they’d give someone CO poisoning.
Pick a different example about why ICE cars clearly suck.
Look, I hate ICE cars too.
But this is whack. Putting a running car into a garage is dangerous because the free oxygen becomes depleted and it starts producing carbon monoxide as a result. This isn’t a problem when you’re driving around outdoors.
The reason the a running ICE car in a garage is dangerous is completely different than why ICE cars are bad for the environment.
Like, shit on ICE cars all you want, I’ll support it. But this is embarrassingly bad science. This is the kind of shit I’d have made up in grade 7 trying to an edgy eco-aware statement.
Cars don’t typically produce carbon monoxide. It’s special circumstances caused by the garage that caused the carbon monoxide

Oh fuck they’ve begun to mix!
Don’t you dare shatter my dreams
Animation in general will exaggerate the expression of emotion by necessity, to an extent.
I’m not sure what style you’re talking about specifically, that is inherent to anime. If I had to guess you’ve just not been exposed to anime in other styles.
But it’s fine if you’ve got enough media that you like, not everyone needs to try everything.
People care about graphics.
But they care about other things more
So the graphics need to be in service to something.
Imo the problem is that studios have become risk adverse because their budget is so big, so they pick an already popular IP, choose a marketable aspect of that IP, and spend that fortune turning the dial of that aspect up to 11.
Like X but bigger map
Like Y but more playable characters
Like Z but better graphics
Etc
But none of the time actually innovating any new player experience.
And players are finally getting fed up with playing the same handful of AAA game experiences again and again with different titles.
Graphics just happens to be the marketable attribute they like to crank most often

I had a whole big response, but I’m rewriting it because it was too combative.
Generally, in your response the impression I get is that you’re just mostly uninformed about the content available on Tiktok. What do you think the content looks like there? I get the feeling you think it’s mostly 10 seconds dance videos and videos like what are shown in this post. It’s not.
My Lemmy feed is vapid in comparison to my Tiktok feed. For example, I’ve learned more about CRT and intersectionality and living with disabilities, on Tiktok than I have anywhere else. It’s full of nuanced videos a few minutes long, by creators from a variety of backgrounds, covering topics I’d never have thought to look into myself.
The “algorithm” boogyman that folks here cry about is it’s best feature. It’s introducing me to new content and ideas I’d otherwise never be exposed to, because it doesn’t keep me locked into a handful of topics I’ve selected myself.
I don’t expect everyone’s feed to be packed full of educational content like mine, and I do still get (and enjoy) silly videos, just like I enjoy the !memes@lemmy.world channel here. But the content is there, and there is far more of it, and it is of higher quality, than here.
Wrt harm, the non-profit networks are probably the least harmful, but also the least interesting and educational.
Tiktok is probably the least harmful for-profit network I’m aware of (maybe bluesky, but it’s still in the expand-at-all-costs phase). It would go so far as to inject “go touch grass” video reminders into your feed if you were scrolling too long.
The willingness for people to villainize Tiktok without reflecting on their own favorite social networks makes me suspicious of their motives and biases.

Pretty satisfied right now. Worried that AI is gonna take my job (regardless of if it can do a good job at it, I don’t think bosses really care)
Grave of fireflies. Just… Yeah.
