What do Brits call jam (i.e. what American's call jelly but with chunks of fruit in it)?
i don't think american-style jelly really exists in britain. british jam and american jam are mostly the same thing, if encountered it would probably be called filtered jam or clear jam.

"Conserve" means "add £1 to the price".
These days this would be in a video with a clickbait thumbnail with someone shouting at you after a VPN sponsor ad.
Which would probably reach a wider audience and maybe give the creator a few quid to try other things. I love these kinds of articles (and wrote a few back in the day), but it's hard to see YouTube as a regression.
Doing something purely for fun vs doing something with the expectation of profit is the big difference - it is essentially the difference between work and play.
Very reasonable ‘license’ at the bottom of this page: …you're allowed to do with this page anything you wouldn't mind me doing with your cat.

There were other very nice examples as well (cannot find the post right now but will look further tonight)
I participated in a competition in middle school to see who could formulate jello that would stay up the longest when nailed to a wall. The one rule was that your jello could only contain ingredients that normally show up in jello. The deciding factor turned out to be not what the jello contained but how it was hammered.
