On the whole site, or just that channel? Because that may be due to channel settings which allow channel owners to hide comments containing certain terms. See "Blocked Words" on:

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9483359?hl=en#zippy=%2Cblocked-words

Not that YouTube has a great track record, but forbidding "cis' would be pretty drastic. For better or worse, many channels choose to filter terms like this to keep their comments sections free of controversy.

The same goes for comments about shadow banning: channels filter terms relating to this so that controversial videos (which many Onion videos will be, especially for those that like eating onions) don't end up with a comments section that's nothing but complaints about being filtered, or at least so that the comments section looks the way they want it to. I've seen various YouTubers talk about this over the years.

The joke is that they know it is an egg. The user, somewhat like myself, is clearly trans, and "egg" means something important to the trans community. The extra question marks and the ":3" set the rest of the humorous/teasing tone. The post on here is itself the same kind of subtle meme, with the post text just saying, quite plainly: egg.

I imagine this wouldn't be intuitive or amusing unless you're really in the loop.

For sure. But at least those images aren't kept in a secret location where users can't see or delete them. Even if Recall makes this harder, there's a meaningful difference here.

That said, neither one is doing you any privacy favors...

Too bad. You'd think humor like that would have wings.

I know this isn't critical to your point (which is a good one), but since tetanus is deadly, I feel obligated to mention that tetanus and rust are unrelated: https://www.discovery.com/science/Tetanus-From-Rust. Make sure your vaccination is up to date even if you aren't dealing with rusty metal.

They did not limit themselves to one monkey. From the article:

As well as a single monkey, they also did the calculations using the current global population of around 200,000 chimpanzees.

That explains Drain, OR. I always wondered what the actual drain looked like!

Wow, this is what's below this post in my feed.

Also, it's "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone and you better not erase it.

At my partner's house, there are two cats: Mr. And Mrs. Rizzler. The teenagers in the house started calling them that and everyone went with it. Before then, the term was used basically every single time I saw any of them. It seems to most often be used as nonsense or just a word to shout at each other while trying to be annoying, but sometimes in the actual context of charisma (for example, a charismatic classmate was described as a "rizzler").

So yeah, it's a thing in some circles, but I'm hopeful this is an isolated incident.

It's definitely supposed to be visible.
