What are some good internet mysteries not many people know about?

  • It's so you can look up the person's name to see if they have more content available somewhere.

    As an alternative reply, if you were trying to make a joke, that wasn't a clever one.

    • Revealed: car industry was warned keyless vehicles vulnerable to theft a decade ago

    Jump

  • 5 years ago, a 70-year-old towtruck driver/mechanic told me how he learned of the tools criminals can use to steal keyless entry vehicles. Anyone worth half their salt in the industry knows it's possible and how it's done and has known for a while.

  • I got bit by an English mastiff. That wasn't a fun experience at 6.

    • Whatchu got

    • Seeing this made me feel so cozy in my little instance. 😆

  • How preposterous, Human Man Zuckerberg has a completely normal and decidedly regular keratin growth styling!

    • Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.

  • 1: Funny we were all in here like two days ago saying "they'll probably be happy to have the piracy sub gone"

    2: Any member of the existing mod team that helps them is a fucking scab

    3: Everyone else has made a good point about some potential liability issues of reddit the corporation wresting control of the piracy subreddit into their own hands

    4: There are so many layers of irony with a corporation saying people need to have access to the community that tells them how to commit copyright infringement and then forcing that information into the open despite what its caretakers wish.

  • When cable TV was first a thing, it was advertised as extra content and with NO commercials. Pay us money, we'll give you a big bundle of channels, and you won't have to see commercials anymore.

    Then they started adding more and more commercials in. Nowadays, a half-hour slot is 1/3rd commercials, and probably another 15% of that time is credits and "previously on" or "before the break" or pointless shitty padding

    Then Netflix came out. Pay us a monthly fee, you can see all this content whenever you want, no commercials.

    Then everyone wanted a slice of Netflix's pie, and now we have a dozen separate streaming services you all have to pay monthly fees for.

    The solution is Cable TV 2.0. Compile it all back into one service, charge a higher fee, cut all the ads out (again). Call it Fiber TV or something, idk. Otherwise people will realize it's easier to pirate shit again than to navigate and pay for 8 different streaming services
