Wow I didn't know they had worldwide internet, atomic clocks, and network time protocol servers before the railways...
I mean sure it's how clocks worked before the railways if you entirely ignore the technology involved!
Well, we're also in the 21st century and this jump an hour twice a year shit makes no sense. We could make timekeeping worldwide way more insane by having it adjust "imperceptibly" over time to auto adjust times worldwide based on true solar noon at each individual clock location using GPS. So all clocks would now have GPS as well to be able to ping their location to get the appropriate time. This... would be insane. We'd have seconds that are longer than a second. LET'S DO IT.
How will they protect that content being trained for AI models on third party piracy sites where dumps of Patreon subscriber content get published without a paywall. On those sites, there's no protection.
Like that's the unfortunate part about a lot of this is a lot of people pay for Patreon access and then just pirate the content out. I'm not against piracy, but I do see the nature of the piracy sites being wide open with no controls or protections from AI scraping that even with Patreon doing this, many are likely to still have their art scraped.

I mean this is the Heritage Foundation with living politicians as well.
Oh another fun (although flawed) romp was Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
Friendship is funny, but only if you can stomach an I Think You Should Leave comedy sketch for two hours.
There's also a cute indie(?) British film I quite enjoyed called Time Travel is Dangerous that's both funny and really cute.
Tim Travers and the Time Travelers Paradox is a goofy little low budget sci-fi.
Also Cunk on Life may be just an entry in the long-running Philomena Cunk universe, but it is also technically a film, whereas much of the prior Cunk media were television shows.
Hundreds of Beavers is deeply unique and one of the funniest films I have seen in my life. A combination of video game mechanics, looney tunes physics, and well, hundreds of beavers.
Comedy movies still exist, they're just different than how they used to be, I think. Also I didn't go to the theater for these because I'm poor but I wish I had! (also some of them were direct to streaming and never hit theaters, like I'm fairly sure was the case for Time Travel is Dangerous, Tim Travers, and Cunk on Life)
If you ever liked any Lonely Island stuff, whether on channel101 back in the day, on SNL, or one of the various movies directed by Akiva with Jorma and Andy, you'll probably enjoy this as Akiva is directing. There's nice little touches as well such as at least one joke that is only seen if you are watching with subtitles on.
It really, really is.

I'm not personally involved in any way, but I saw this happen and thought it roughly fits this community, if in a slightly backwards kind of way.
I see way more posts complaining about Windows users complaining about switching to Linux than I have ever actually seen of Windows users actually complaining about switching to Linux.
Tim is going to do that voice so long it's going to accidentally become his real voice
