Here's my tinfoil hat theory

I think YouTube includes the username of the person you are replying to in the filter check

The blurred username is just random characters, but I often see comments get flagged when people forget to put space between the username they are mentioning and their comment
Tech Bro: "AI moderation is the future"
Meanwhile, a comment on my YouTube channel saying "okay thanks for the advice" being marked as "Potentially inappropriate"

Sure bro, sure.

It's pronounced Eyjafjallajökull, not Eyjafjallajökull.

I think that when GTA6 finally releases, it would be really funny if it ended up being a bad video game.

Very likely not going to happen, probably will be a good game, but I just think the scenario of GTA6 sucking after all this time and money is really funny.

"This is a 4 cheese pizza"
-"Impossible"
"Why?"
-"Cheese isn't countable"
"Why are we friends?"

Me: "Ok new rule, if I wanna watch a YouTube video, I need to it on the stationary bike"
YouTube: "Oh, you have a new rule? Cool, cool. But also did you know that Defunctland just released a 4 hour video?"
Me: "...my legs are gonna hate me."

Pluribus Episode 5. No spoiler review.

Jump = Hoppa
Did you jump (singular you) = Hoppaðirðu
Did you jump (plural you) = Hoppuðuði
If you jump = Hoppirðu
If you jumped = Hoppaðirðu
Icelandic will change conjugation based on the distance to the ground as you are in free fall after stepping off a cliff. They probably have a special case for if you jumped.

I've been trying to learn Icelandic for about 4 years now. I have the vocabulary of a toddler and my husbands (then) 3 year old niece thinks I talk funny.

New meme template just dropped.

This is Icelandic Environment Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson realizing that the conference hall he is in just caught fire.
(it was extinguished quickly no injuries, just some smoke inhalation)

"So after the encounter with the Balrog, Gandalf The Gray dies and comes back stronger as Gandalf The White"
-"Ahh, so like Goku"
"From Dragon Ball?"
-"Yup, exactly like Goku"

People use these to post fun facts disguised as useless facts. Here's a useless fact.

The Vampiir in Dark Age of Camelot follows "The Way of Stealth" but they can't stealth, they can only detect stealthed characters.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
November 24, 2025 at 9:32 AM
Yeah.

I fell asleep on the sofa at 19:00, it's now 02:00. How much trouble am I in?

Ahh yes, filing copyright claims on people that reupload my videos, that's exactly what I want to spend my Sunday doing. Fun times.

There's laughing out loud, and then there's the laughter I had when I heard the Devil May Cry TV show opening credits.
