This video is pretty old, he stopped being the face of the channel a while ago now. He still exists in the background, but I honestly dropped off watching the videos since. The new people are fine, just not the same vibe.
Edit: looks like I scrolled to a long ass time ago and didn't check the post date 🫠
And I don't get towed after a surgery, or after a (potential) snowfall at 8am, or need written and signed consent to have friends over (parking), or have to sign a release of use of likeness, or pay $5 for a load of laundry, or be not allowed to film/record in my apartment (if ANY public area is in the video, including outside the window), or not be allowed to have the "wrong color" curtains, or not be allowed to have anything on the deck/pattio (of my unit) etc. Etc. Etc.
I actually watched a video covering this topic recently, some other the other potential reasons given for the change was electricity (specifically lights) and entertainment services (theaters, bars, etc.) They correlate since having lights on the streets made it safer and thus the businesses could thrive. But now rather than falling asleep as say 8-9pm when it's dark and you've nothing to do (especially when it's only candle light), you can go out, watch movies, play games, drink, hang out etc. Which just naturally pushed how far out people stayed up in the night.
This is not fact, just potential explanations given by said video (see: Thoughty2 on YouTube, don't have the link ATM)
I've never understood the reading to fall asleep, that shit WIRES me up. It will keep me up and reading till it's done, 13hrs straight to injest the book. More often than not I lose sleep because of reading when I start/finish a book
For some reason lots of women think I'm gay too, even when I had a woman friend wingman for me. I'm self sufficient, reasonably clean, I dress nice (with help), and honestly a bit odd so I suppose that's why they'd think that. Just like you though, I'm quite straight
I personally don't get rust but some people do and they can dislike that. Usually I'll put the stove on low and help it evaporate to avoid rust. Its also really only a concern if (lye free) soap is used because otherwise the seasoning prevents it pretty well
I'm not a fan boy, I actually resisted getting one for nearly a year before one was gifted to me. There are a couple perks and draw backs I've learned. Pros: heating is pretty even, cleaning is actually way easier (IMO), and I can use metal on it. Cons: needs to be seasoned, takes longer to heat, some people get the ick from seeing rust.
TBH it's pretty much the only pan I use now (cause I find cleaning easier and I'm lazy AF), but people should use whatever suits them.
I've worked in machine shops my whole adult life and shit like this crops up at each one in some fashion. The last shop I worked at, one person would just "OOO-OO" loud and everyone across the floor would join in to make a cacophony of ape noises for 5ish minutes. My current shop it's a "Waooo". People just get so amped being able to join in.
This is how I get my friends >.<
