I have to confess that I don't really know who Joe Rogan is, sorry.

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was the electrician in the 90s sitcom NewsRadio. Then he told people to eat weird stuff for a while. Now he's just super into drugs and platforming right-wing nutjobs as far as I can tell.

But NewsRadio was pretty great.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

OK. Never heard of NewsRadio. Sorry.

So as far as I'm concerned, he's yet another Internet lunatic with a following of cretins peddling the usual (I suppose)..

I sometimes wonder what the hippies would have made of the Internet. Would they have spread love through the fibre?

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

A lot of hippies are now into Q-anon and shit. It's really sad.

There's still plenty of people who were hippies in the 60s around and on the internet today... No need to wonder... Find one and ask them.

Maybe.

I don't know how to put this, maybe it's just me, I know that nowadays it seems weird…

But if a link is a video, I just close it.

If it's text, I can parse it and get a feel for it because I've spent a lifetime browsing text.

You can't browse video.

You can't search video.

You can't have an overview of video.

Video plain sucks for almost everything.

Video is great for monetization.

Unless you can't read. Videos suck.

I can read.

Sorry about the rant. I'm really pissed off about the video everywhere trend. So, anyway, I don't watch videos.
