Yeah. You gotta be searching for some real bonkers shit to have google not show it up. The most completely batshit insane groups I’m willing to google anymore are flat earthers, young earth creationists, and Facebook mom groups, and google happily indexes and returns favourable results for all of these. Even looking at off the deep end alt-right content like men’s rights, red pilled, trucker convoy, anti-masker, Tate…

Classic hacker discourse... 1. Bunch all people who disagree with you into one and claim they are some kind of group. Bonus for listing 12 or more "groups". 2. Raise suspicion about the user you're replying to. Maybe they belong to one of those people you just listed? Maybe they are a terrorist? Maybe they voted for the wrong guy? Should we call the police? Of course we should! He's even trying to make Google show "b…

People who make suspicious, dubious claims deserve to have their claims called out.

I am not going to give up on calling out this purposefully vague, bullshit commentary just because you dislike it. If you don’t like having your sides bullshit being called out, don’t post it.

It’s actually hilarious how eerily similar your group is.

>oh woe as us, we’re such big victims

Someone responds shutting it down

>why do you have to call out the posts. Can’t you just not respond

Every single time like clock work. It’s like you guys all belong to a forum of AI generated comments and responses and you just copy and paste them.

Ironically, articles got pointlessly long because of Google. Everyone stretches their content because long form ranks better. A few hours ago I wanted to know the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane. Here is the answer: they're the same thing, just in a different ocean. I clicked three or four articles and had to read for a few minutes to get to that answer. It's even worse with videos. It takes 10 minutes t…

I got sucked into a clickbait recipe video for "2 ingredient cake". The video was just over 10 minutes long, which I think puts it in a different monetization category on youtube. I spent wayyy too much time out of my life trying to find out what 2 ingredients are in the cake. Answer: apple sauce and gelatin

Next time you should copy the transcript into chatGPT and ask for a summary.

Although they do look similar, there are quite significant differences between a Hurricane and a Typhoon. A Hurricane has a ~1000hp early Rolls Royce Merlin engine and a top speed of about 350mph; a Typhoon has a 2000hp+ Napier Sabre engine and a top speed of over 400mph. The Typhoon was actually intended to be the replacement for the Hurricane, but challenges in the high altitude interceptor role led to the Typhoon…

I had understood that the Hurricane was a stop gap interceptor/air superiority fighter until more Spitfires were produced. I'm quite surprised that the Typhoon wasn't seen as redundant, unless it was intended early in the design phase for bomber interceptor, but the need for that waned.
