It's still horrifying today. We're just powerless to stop it.

Or even 25 years ago! They (and in many cases we) tried to warn them. Turns out the other "they" are happy to give it away for AI slop videos.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
