Styropyro is legitimately like a mad scientist without the evil, and deals mainly with huge amounts of electricity and military-grade laser builds. He flat-out tells people that if they try to reproduce his experiments there's a very good chance they'll die or be seriously injured. In that military-grade laser video he burns a hole through a steel truck door from hundreds of feet away.
It's probably Photoshop or something similar, so you aren't far off. I've had it since 2015 and there are a bunch of them based off a pic from that time, like this one captioned "Some men just want to watch the world learn":
The legend is that a foot is actually based of the length of King Henry I's foot. "Imagine two neighbouring farmers, one buying a field from another, one with huge feet, one with tiny. Each measures the field in feet, but one says the footage is less because he’s got a bigger footprint, and therefore he argues a lower price. It’s a recipe for a mighty mediaeval punchup. So Henry proffered his own royal foot, it’s said. Thus, a foot became 12 inches."
I fell into a burning ring of fire. I wiped down, down, down and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns - the ring of fire. The ring of fire.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus
My guess is evangelicals just assume their nominees are pumping the brakes on rhetoric until elected, at which point they'll continue their assault on all forms of reproductive rights. "It's too controversial right now, but God's laws will supersede man's laws in the end". I have an evangelical family member that actually prays that last bit.
The one that's going to slowly escalate towards incredible pleasure is clearly superior.

There's very little as satisfying as slipping into a newly tailored suit and looking amazing. Plus it's nice to be cared for by an attentive professional like a tailor perfecting your clothing. No kink-shaming here, but I'll pass on getting stepped on.

I can think of two fairly active potential homes for that content: Showerthoughts, which is for random trains of thought that you think others might relate to. Lemmy Be Wholesome is for content that you feel elevates people's moods, is supportive, shares good vibes and so on.
I actually had trouble finding that out (although I only looked for like, 15 minutes). It's apparently difficult to determine according to some tech websites. I do have this chart that says since 2017 YouTube ad revenue has been 7-11% of Google's global revenue but I don't know if that = profit. Decided to meme anyways because I have ads blocked on PC but still see them on my phone.
It's annoying because the argument was clearly "your multiple real life experiences don't back up these talking points I've been handed". I thought the interviewee handled it very well though.

I have previously wondered what scientists like Nile from the YouTube channels NileRed and NileBlue or Styropyro could do if they wanted to.
Nile is a chemist does things like turning plastic gloves into hot sauce or making super-reactive chemicals that really don't want to exist. In some of his videos he'll be making an intermediary chemical and say stuff along the lines of, "If I drop this we all die".
