  • SciShow tangents (a lightly competitive science show)
  • Ologies (interviewing experts from different fields/ologies)
  • Fake Doctors, Real Friends (Scrubs actors rewatching scrubs, my favorite show when i was younger. Plus great behind the scenes of film making)
  • The Imp & Skizz show (just two gamers i love to watch, talking about creative stuff. Probably not as enjoyable for anyone who doesn’t watch them already though. Still love them and would love to see then succeed more!)
hedgehog , to selfhosted in How do I download YouTube videos in 1080p instead of 4k with yt-dlp?

I use –format-sort +res:1080, which, if my understanding of the documentation is correct, will make it prefer 1080p, the smallest video larger than 1080p if 1080p isn’t available, or the largest video if nothing 1080p or larger is available.

res is the smallest dimension of the video (so for a 1080x1920 portrait video, it would be 1080).

Default sort is descending order. The + makes it sort in ascending order instead.

I’m pretty sure this comic was originally created in reference to Another Crab’s Treasure

RyanLiu ,

Pretty sure it’s a reference to a real life shrimp called the mantis shrimp, which the game is referencing as well.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Pretty sure it’s a reference to Ratatouille, hence the hat

PapaStevesy ,

Pretty sure it’s a reference to boxing, because of the gloves and the ring.

Someplaceunknown , (edited )
@Someplaceunknown@fedia.io avatar

Pretty sure it’s a reference to murder, hence the dead body

driving_crooner ,
@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Pretty sure is in reference to Mayan murals, because of the use of different pictures to tell a story.

Viking_Hippie ,

Pretty sure it’s about colors, hence the red and brown etc

A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.

Beacon , to showerthoughts in What if instead of the Summer and Winter Olympics it was the wet and dry Olympics?

Why?

CrimeDad OP ,

Seems less arbitrary.

Beacon ,

I don't see how. Summer games are games that can be played outdoors during the summer season. Winter games are games that can be played outdoors during the winter season.

CrimeDad OP ,

Why so many indoor events then? Also, the typical seasons of many of of the “Summer” Olympics events are in the winter.

Beacon ,

Why so many indoor events then?

They're games that people CAN play outdoors during summer.

Also, the typical seasons of many of of the "Summer" Olympics events are in the winter.

I don't understand this question.

CrimeDad OP ,

What I mean is that I consider basketball, for example, to be a winter sport since it is properly played indoors on a wooden court and therefore its season is during the cold months of the year.

Beacon ,

I can't say i agree. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion

@DaedalousIlios@pawb.social avatar

Todoist. It’s nothing to do with “productivity” per se, but that is a benefit I’ve reaped.

Instead of having to remember what feels like 100 things all the time and doing 2 of them, I just remember the app. And it’s a hell of a lot less stressful. The sub-task function also helps simplify larger things and makes them simpler to tackle. It’s a game changer as an AuDHD individual.

ERPAdvocate , to asklemmy in What would happen if you spray a bucket with hydrophobic spray and put water in it?

Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket ‘wet’. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.

Wet Olympics.

DrCake ,

It’s only 1/3 wet though

Yeah that one’s tough, are we including any sports where the athletes get wet in the wet Olympics? Throwing steeple chase to the wet Olympics feels wrong.

CrimeDad OP ,

Steeple chase wet.

alphacyberranger , to selfhosted in How do I download YouTube videos in 1080p instead of 4k with yt-dlp?
@alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works avatar

Recently youtube changed a few things and everything was breaking for me NewPipe, Freetube, yt-dlp. NewPipe and Freetube immediately released updates. Yt-dlp also got updated but this time there is a change. Earlier you can simply download 1080p videos in one go. Now I have to download 1080 video and corresponding audio separately and use a FFMEG command to merge them. Though it’s a pain, I’m still thankful that yt-dlp works.

Davel23 ,

Do you have the FFMPEG executable in the same directory as yt-dlp? They should merge automatically if so.

alphacyberranger ,
@alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yes. But me being an idiot, didn’t know it was possible to add up formats like 136+140 in yt-dlp until I saw few of the comments in this thread. I was downloading everything separately for the past 3 weeks.

Warl0k3 , to nostupidquestions in Need a catfood/treat dispenser that can do like hourly for 12 hours

I’m so curious about why you need this.

ericbomb OP ,

I’m afraid it’s nothing fun.

I had two cats, one young, one old.

My old 17 year old cat passed recently, and my 3 year old cat has been super erratic for months since. I’ve tried tons of things from calm down treats, pheromones, different toys… he’s just a very unhappy young cat. He runs around just meowing a ton at random times, which he never did before. There is my room mates cat so there is another cat, but my cat has 0 interest in this other cat. He’s unhappy.

I’m hoping maybe I can hide this in different places each day and he’ll have something to hunt when it makes a noise and give him a sense of schedule and things to do?

I’ve tried most of the advice I can find online, so now I’m trying to make things up. I didn’t give very many details because I knew if I did, I’d just get a whole ton of advice that I already tried.

GalaxyBrain , to piracy in What do ya'll think of camming (filming newly released films)?
@GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net avatar

Hats off to those who do it. I don’t need to see things when they’re new, so I will generally just wait until there’s a home release or streaming rip. I’m not a 4k guy or whatever, I’m down with DVD quality or worse, I still wanna see it in a better format than a cam. But there’s clearly people who want it, so I’m glad people are out there doing the work.

ChadCMulligan , to lemmyshitpost in Yeugh

Quiznos made a huge mistake

xavier666 , to lemmyshitpost in Boxing

Fun fact: if the girl punched with the same velocity as a mantis shrimp, her arm would have come out of her shoulder socket joint.

lowleveldata ,

Aren’t the strong body parts what allows them to punch so fast? Therefore if she was able to punch so fast her body should be fine as well

xavier666 ,

I would be inclined to agree with you, but shoulder dislocation during a punch is not uncommon in boxing. There was a viral video regarding this where the boxer dislocated his arm due to the sheer force of his punch (missed the opponent), the coach put it back in, and then went on fighting in the same round.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Unless if she also have enamel laminated fist, then yeah she would be unharmed while whoever received those punch will be pulverised.

Viking_Hippie ,

I can see how that would be slightly disadvantageous for the second fight, yes… 🤔

xavier666 ,

The good thing is if she can land the punch, a second fight won’t be necessary :D

Viking_Hippie ,

Except a championship usually consists of more than one fight… Unless she’s already the defending champion or top challenger.

In which case she probably could have won fairly 🤷

xavier666 ,

Time to learn from the crustacean how to grow arms as well

Viking_Hippie ,

If I had a nickel for every time I’d been given that exact advice from a well-meaning boxing expert…

ShaggySnacks ,

I’d have two nickels-- which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

thrawn ,

I think if my opponent removed the head of their last challenger and still had an arm left, I’d back out of that fight. I imagine next in line would too

Viking_Hippie ,

Depends: you could have been trained by immortal Chinese sorcerer Lo Pan, evening the odds out somewhat 😉

lostme ,

Well she got 2 arms, doesn’t she? :>

Viking_Hippie ,

Sure looks like It. On the other hand (pun intended), as far as I’m informed, most boxers actually need to use BOTH arms in order to win…

Astongt615 ,

Not if you punch with the velocity if a mantis shrimp

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Gotta be a pretty crazy opponent to not just concede after seeing this fight.

But then again, whoever comes up for the 3rd fight will have it easy

ulterno ,
@ulterno@lemmy.kde.social avatar

But if she hit the target, which hopefully had enough resistance, all she would have is a comminuted fracture.

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

Since she’s larger than a mantis shrimp, I’d be inclined to scale up the speed accordingly.

ZarkleFarkle ,

Speeds scale up in their technology using advanced geometries we don’t fully understand today.
