Loss
This one was still over my head, but you gave me just enough to look it up. For anyone similarly confused.
I commend you for making it this far on the internet without encountering it.
Fucking ell...
Im glad my own path to despair has been walked by others.
Oh goddammit.

Dammit
The loss virus is only triggered when the picture makes no sense. So this one took a while
For people wanting the answer this was the subject of a Veritasium video.
for people who don't want to click the link
It's B.
Don’t support Veritasium
What's the story? What'd they do?
I hate this so much,
Someone is mentioned on Lemmy and there is always a drive by comment saying don't support X or X is a bad person with no context whatsoever. No mention of what specifically they are accused of doing/saying, no way to figure out if that clashes with your values or not, no documentation etc.
And subjectively it feels like half the time I research why this might be true it's debatable at best, I assume because if there was compelling evidence the person doing the drive by would have linked it.
Don't support u/Agent641
Lemmy sometimes feels like one big ball of barely seething social outrage.
That's most of the internet these days
So many didn't grow out of their "I'm so special and unique, I don't follow the mainstream" teenage phase and it really shows.
Sold out to some venture capital firm.
I didn’t know he did that. He was shit long before that. Here’s my comment:
He created fake science experiments to sell products and slipped them into normal videos, like the video where he claimed wet wipes are flushable, then created a fake experiment “proving” they were flushable. He’s incredibly untrustworthy and also, not a scientist! He’s an art major or business, can’t remember which.
Personally I've noticed topics covered by smaller content creators, explaining almost the exact same thing (minus maybe a few details like some random guy's age), uploaded a few weeks before, and then suddenly Veritasium decides to cover the topic with basically the exact same info over a longer time span.
Not to mention the clickbait titles and thumbnails, less focus on the technical side of topics and more on the emotional/personal side, and the whole selling out to private equity thing.
Aren't they also bought out by private equity?
Veritasium themselves has a video on the topic, they've indeed sold parts to investors

According to Wikipedia
In 2004, Muller graduated from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics. Muller moved to Australia to study film-making; however, he instead enrolled for a PhD in physics education research from the University of Sydney, which he completed in 2008 with the thesis, Designing Effective Multimedia for Physics Education.
To be fair some wet wipes are flushable (as in they disintegrate when flushed), the problem is that not all of them are and there's no standard they have to adhere to, so even the ones that shouldn't be flushed are allowed to advertise themselves as flushable.
No that’s literally the experiment that Derek did. He “showed” that the wet wipes “disintegrated”. What they actually did was break apart under a large weight he put on top of them. That’s not what happens in a sewage system. Along with that, unless they completely dissolve they will still cause issues as the broken up strands.
Unless you are a civil engineer you should not be deciding what goes in a sewer. And no one making wet wipes are civil engineers.
And why would that be?
Personally, I just don't like the guy and his vibes. But I wouldn't tell random people online to avoid him, he's not that bad.
There was also that self-driving car video which turned out to be really scummy.
people are annoyed that he sold to a venture capital business
but then not realizing that so far, their quality improved, while also releasing more videos
The answer is D because there's no indication that the rope is untied. The helicopter starts his trajectory but loses control and spins out and crashes, this is the hidden frame
Sounds like that could lead to loss. Of life.
Fuck!!! It took me waaaaay too long to get this shit. I'm at a loss as to why I didn't see it immediately.
Why would they even put D ... ah fuck!
Aside from the loss meme, this depends on unaccounted for factors:
You can only really exclude A), because a chopper can't fly in a vacuum.
Got me good there.
Do we have to worry about the loss of ve loss ity?
Letter D is perfect for what's being described thereby: D for "Disaster", "Dying", "Drowning" if the helicopter is flying next to the sea. It could be letter S, too, for "stall", "smashing onto the ground" or, if this acute pitch exerted onto the aircraft was deliberately maneuvered by the pilot themselves, a seven-letter word starting with the letter S.
