themurphy , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

Alright, I’ll give you the only non-grumpy answer here apparently, from someone who actually knows him.

His name is Jimmy. He loves YouTube, and want to make the best videos possible.

He lived with his mom and brother in his childhood. No mention of a father. He played a little baseball, and besides that he really just wanted to make video content. The family was not rich.

His first brand deal he got, he received 10.000 dollars from a sponsor. He gave it all away to someone and filmed it, gaining another brand deal that then got better and better because he gained more viewers.

The concept today for almost all of his videos is “game show”. Which means you almost always have a chance to win money. Sometimes he also just gave it random on the street.

He also is a part of Team Trees and Save the Ocean, doing some environmental work in his videos.

Now, Jimmy aka MrBeast has a philanthropy channel, where he hired two individuals to go and give money away around the world to poor villages in 3rd world countries.

He also sells chocolate from sustainable cocoa farms, that is also gentle to the stomach (Jimmy has a stomach disease, don’t remember the name).

So yeah, that’s MrBeast. He uses all his time and money on videos, and he himself live in a little bunker close to the film studio. He owns almost nothing for himself, but he does own the biggest YouTube brand there is.

Hope it helped.

Oh sweet summer child, how innocent. When someone is a multi-millionare/billionaire and they say they own nothing, just a quaint little bunker, they’re lying to you.

Lol, not it person. But the other comments dosent even know who he is on YouTube.

velox_vulnus , (edited )

Please pick a simplified version of any book or article with Marx’s philosophies and beliefs. Read on what is his opinion on philanthropy. You don’t really have to be a leftist for that. In an egalitarian society, people are self-reliant. What philanthropist do is make people dependent on them.

themurphy ,

I don’t think I gave my opinion on any of the things in my description. He’s making philanthropist videos no matter if you like it or not.

I was just stating facts, because all the other comments about him where mostly wrong or only sentence like “he’s a YouTuber.”

I would love it if you took them to small claims court on this. We all love piracy, but I would also love to see how that case turned out.

OsrsNeedsF2P , to showerthoughts in We really accepted toilet paper as the definitive way to wipe our asses isn't?

Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable

CM400 ,

And they’re still non-flushable, despite what the package says.

Most baby wipes and similar materials aren’t designed to be flushed—“flushable” products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as “flushable” and “sewer friendly”, don’t be fooled!

protectyourpipes.org/wipes#

bizarroland ,

Toilet wipes have led to an epidemic of what have been colloquially termed as turdbergs, which are vehicle sized piles of shit held together by baby wipes that refuse to actually biodegrade and have caused sewer and plumbing issues costing taxpayers and individuals millions of dollars.

ryannathans ,

Mine disperse fine, don’t trust big paper

CM400 ,

Paper? I don’t wipe like a peasant. I have one of those $20 bidets.

wildbus8979 , to showerthoughts in We really accepted toilet paper as the definitive way to wipe our asses isn't?

Because “flushable” wipes really aren’t and they are mode of plastic?

They felt like paper to me?

Damn looks like another american problem

See my other comment aussie.zone/comment/10813139

wildbus8979 ,

Considering this standard is less than two years old, I’d say this was definitely an Australian problem as well. It’s an issue in a lot of countries, including mine (not the US).

ryannathans ,

Yeah for sure, used to be a pain in the ass lol

It’s the youtube algorithm wearing a skin suit to convince children to gamble.

velox_vulnus ,

…and watch porn. You forgot that part.

Dreamer ,

For anyone curious, someone claiming to have worked for him made an hour long video dissecting Mr. Beast and his practices.

A large portion of that covers gambling aimed at children and the vulnerable, use of dark psychology, and a plethora of other illegal/malpractices.

Scientific proof of demons.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

That video is simply assumptions and some truth but mostly just assumptions. Apparently he worked for a month and was removed for erratic behavior. It makes good points but in some places just acts as if staging content is illegal or never been in history of television.

Bidet is life

Hatred OP ,

I’d argue, majority of places don’t have those. Also I’m talking about the wiping process.

TheAlbatross ,

You can order one online for like $35 and install it yourself, it’s a real game changer.

Hatred OP ,

Not if you’re negated to manual work plus having an ant size bathroom.

TheAlbatross ,

Naw buddy it’s like an attachment onto your existing toilet. You can even get one with hot water for just a lil more if your toilet is close enough to the hot water inlet to the sink.

AmbiguousProps ,

Some even do instant hot water without needing to be connected to the hot water line!

Hatred OP ,

The size still a problem

wildbus8979 ,

It’s a hose, how can the room size be a problem?

TheAlbatross ,

To be fair, I honestly don’t know the size of your toilet, but I would be rather surprised if it’s such a nonstandardized size that you couldn’t find a cheap bidet to put on there.

That said, you seem opposed to the very concept of being able to mount a bidet so I think that’s your biggest barrier to a cleaner anus.

Rhynoplaz ,

You really need to investigate what people are telling you before you tell them they are wrong.

Mine goes under the toilet seat (space that’s already being used) and connects to the tank by a 1/2" metal hose.

Took me 10 minutes to install. $35 on Amazon.

AmbiguousProps ,

It just goes on your toilet seat, it doesn’t require much except connecting hoses.

toasteecup ,

Homie, I have a bathroom that is the literal T from Tetris. I got a bidet installed in mine ezmode.

I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.

Anything portable with the poo theme related is a no for me.

I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.

Ephera ,

Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.

One mistake I’ve made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that’s the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren’t clean yet.

nokturne213 ,

Use a bidet and never wipe again.

twistypencil ,

I don’t get this, I’ve used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop

nokturne213 ,

I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.

Blaze ,

So true

CrimeDad ,

Bidet very good, but I still need a few squares to check. “Trust but verify.”

Be thankful you’re not blind…

AmidFuror ,

As long as you're not both blind and anosmic, should be OK.

Fosheze ,

Just give it the old taste stes then.

CrimeDad ,

I feel like a support animal could be trained to help in any of these cases.

AmidFuror ,

I don't know how I feel about having an animal clean my ass that way....

shy_mia , (edited )

Generally one should wipe anyways before using a bidet

CrimeDad ,

Really, even if it’s a toilet with a bidet seat? I would think that wiping before spraying would decrease the effect of the spray.

yesman , to nostupidquestions in Is it better to use Reddit again?

Reddit is not the same. I’ve been lurking and the site just seems weird. Like the demographics of the users has changed, or maybe the promotion algorithm is different. It’s just weird now, lots of celebrity worship (there are no fewer than three active subs dedicated to the girl from Stranger Things). A lot of the old popular subs have new mods and new culture to go along. It still seems dominated by the political left, but still more conservative than Lemmy: you’ll see plenty of chud content if you keep scrolling.

It’s still a great resource for niche interests, and the userbase is huge, but not welcoming to a person like me otherwise.

miridius , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?

Regulatory capture

Death_Equity , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

I buy from glassesshop, I think the cheapest pair is $50 for frame and lenses. I went all in on the thinnest lenses and transitions, I think it was $150.

Target optical does vision tests for $75 IIRC, and I go there to get a prescription that I give to glassesshop and pick up a cheap pair and a nicer pair. Still not free.99, but much cheaper than other routes without insurance.

Not sure about the specific requirement but here you can find a list of “modern” terminal emulators to look at

Thanks for the link! There are lots of lists of terminals out there, but it’s really hard for me to judge the quality of the lists.

“We would by lying, if we said that we were sorry that you don’t have sidewalks. However, we don’t care about pedestrians, we only care about cars and their vrooms, vrooms.” - Probably some city official.

woodenghost , to science_memes in vibe check

This would work inverted as well: “Yeah, I’m running a quick vibe check on the data to find out where the noise is coming from.”

Rentlar , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

He’s a YouTube personality who makes clickbait videos, does random stunts using millions of dollars at a time, and now has a candy bar offering.

If there is a Mr. Beast thumbnail that catches your interest, usually the last 2 minutes of the video has anything worth watching. The rest is fluff and sponsorships and BS worse than reality-TV.

cizra , to linux in Seeking terminal emulator with MRU tab switching shortcut

I think tmux should be able to do that.

stackoverflow.com/…/how-to-switch-to-the-previous…

AdamBomb OP ,

Thanks, I’ve heard of tmux but have never used it before. I took a quick look at the Getting Started guide, and it sounds like I could get behavior like what I want by e.g. creating two windows each with one full-window pane and toggle back and forth between windows? I will definitely look into this further.

cizra ,

Yes, something like that.

You’ll get other fun features for free, like

  • the ability to reattach the session over SSH, after starting it locally
  • immunity to Xorg / Wayland compositor / terminal emulator crashing
  • ability to comfily use non-tabbed terminal emulators like Alacritty. At least I think it’s not tabbed…
AdamBomb OP ,

OK, this sounds close to what I want, but I left one part unsaid: my muscle memory is such that if I want to visit the 2nd most recent tab, I can hold Ctrl, press Tab twice, then release Ctrl. It doesn’t sound like I can accomplish this with tmux key bindings, or can I?

cizra ,

I dunno, but it sounds like you’d end up back in the original, rather :|
