That title is VERY suggestive

Pavate

Title is so HARD 🔥🔥🔥

Preview when Aiden moves to his demographically homogeneous paradise

Soups

Me when a new episode drops while I'm at work.

William Hu

Thank god it’s just Doug and Big A, so tired of Ukrainian Nordic facts

Jaden Prisco

Look who finally decided to post on their patreon.. 🤔

David

Seeing Aiden missing kinda reminds me about this show called The Wire...

Karan Patel

How do we even join the discord

Bailey Yin

I think a ban performs differently than added restrictions. Specifically, a ban makes people want to find ways around it to still use the product. Some restrictions will be small enough that the feature just goes unused and people do not want to spend time figuring out how to get around it.

Linus Andersson

They're reinventing Molotov bread baskets.

Tynan Gacy

I almost unsubcribed, but Atrioc saved it at the end. Over 3 million saunas, huh? Wow!

Brittany Coppin

Unfortunately, as a mom, the anti vax movement was strong before 2020. I had my first kid in 2015 and there were anti-vax moms in allllll the mom groups preaching. And yes, an anti vaxxer who I used to work with also touts the effects of her Chinese peptides she injects.

Oskar Grothe

Had a friend in college named Big D.... he could drink two 4Lokos before noon. Miss him always.

Peter Sadek

I love how deeply researched the nordic fun fact was this week. It felt kinda mid the last few weeks to be honest.

CaptainJDawg

I bet the TSA agent also called Doug Big D

Kevin Hernandez

Is it just me or did Atrioc just bring out the funnest Nordic Fun Fact to date? Sweden, Norway, and Finland are 1, 2, & 3 in the world and like 3-5x Canada at 4th.

This might be wrong but one consequence of the “frame” counting is that the watch time for videos may be so much lower. I imagine with the 30 second buffer that creates at least some sort of buffer for watch time. And The Spiffing Brit seems to say that watch time is one of the key metrics on how the algorithm primarily boosts things.

I swear the anti vax crowd makes me unreasonably angry. Like if a candidate campaigned on criminalizing anti vax that wouldn’t be a dealbreaker

Sorry I'm late guys, Nick and Alex had Jerma

Aiden and Doug episode when?

Gerhard

10:00 this is most probably just everybody putting 01.01.[year] as their birthday, the new year rolling around and thus everybody magically getting a year older

Sam

The daily scroll is inevitable

Sam H.

I was deathly afraid that when Doug started rambling about fresh ingredients getting delivered to your door so adamantly, I was about to get a Hello Fresh ad on a Patreon video 💀

Betin

he was blessed

Sam H.

is what Bessent's attempting with the yield curve just a different flavor of QE?

You guys should read "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman for the book club. You almost said the title in a joke in the show, but I think it would be a good read. It discusses the role that the media has in our lives and how it shapes us. It's from the 80's, but it really holds up well today.

Gerhard

On groceries being delivered fast - how about instead have walkable cities and buying them fresh every few days?

Appollochan

100% it's like how the platforms became addictive via 100s of tiny changes, they can become unaddictive in a similar way.

dinlaslamark

doug complaining about wanting the sky to remain clear and machine free while living near LAX, one of the busiest airports on the continent lol

About the vaccine stuff, my mom is a teacher for second grade and she told me earlier a kid was out with chickenpox. CHICKENPOX!!! And the kid was vaccinated for it, meaning that enough other kids were unvaccinated that it was able to infect this kid, who was particularly vulnerable. It’s so infuriating!!!

Matt Bettwy

The extra infuriating thing about the vaccine schedule changes is that the old ass guys championing them literally saw these vaccines effectively defeat some diseases in America during their lifetimes. Trump and RFK Jr grew up largely pre vaccines and both of them almost certainly had childhood classmates suffer (or maybe even die) from mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, polio, etc… these diseases went from common childhood experiences to exceedingly rare, and now they’re bringing back those same diseases. Boomer politicians per usual trying to ruin literally everything they benefited from during their lifetimes like cartoon supervillains

To be honest with the Amazon drone story I have some competing feelings. 1.) Is it so fucking hard to go to the store? Like nex day delivery already makes it so easy to avoid going out to talk to a clerk and buy something, do we as a species really need same day drone delivery? Especially on these areas surrounding a same day hub which will placed in denser metropolitan areas with existing access to stores. I just feel like we've already optimized the first 95% of shopping barriers to avoid leaving home, and now we're trying to grind away at the last 5% which almost no one meaningfully needs. As a young person with antisocial tendencies I worry for the world we're building where you never need to interact with anyone. 2.) Drones are cool as hell and also scary. Not a lot to this point, I think the first time I see a quad copter or whatever deliver a package it will be a real "hell yeah we're living in the future". Alternately I was hiking the other day in a remote area and some guy was piloting his drone around and visibly stopped and looked at me for a while as I passed under. He moved on but it still felt uncomfortable, and I don't think I'd like a world of mass drone swarms with cameras above me all day, even if on paper they're just delivery. 3.) The bigges challenges I doubt will be the Drones themselves but retrieval, landing, and maybe in the future too many objects in the sky. At the small scale I expect to see this decade it will be pool deliveries, the occasional crash, and just a few in the air. But as time goes on will we start redesigning spaces for Drones? drone landing pads on roofs, or in public spaces every couple blocks? If we get enough drones I fear for the birds, will they get pushed away from human settlement as their formally exclusive territory gets occupied by human infrastructure.

Sean

You gotta pay even MORE money. 200 a month but Atrioc must reply to you once a week

T Money

I'll add that to my list. I'm currently reading his "Technopoly" and like it a lot (though don't always agree). Would say it similarly holds up.

Zelnoth

The wallstreetbets award.

Betin

30:25 oof that's gonna be a -2 from me

MICOPEN

About the Meta turning to the others after the fine, it feels very much like when that one friend is caught in hide and seek and then they turn and go "Guys, I can't believe they caught US"

Le_M

Finland has more saunas than cars

Leo

As a Swiss I really enjoyed this episode.
