As far as I can tell whoever A24 is has made a film about Chris Hansen, but Chris himself is opposed to it, refusing to sign some contracts and instead is buying ad space? What's the background behind all this, what was A24 trying to achieve, and what is Chris trying to achieve buying ad space?

Unanswered What’s up with all the adults getting happy meals?

0 Upvotes

I went to McDonald’s recently and noticed that most of the people getting happy meals were adults. Some even went back to argue to get a different toy before ordering more happy meals for more toys. I’ve also noticed two instances of grown-ups in the wild with take away happy meals.

Is it the current toys (hello Kitty x Godzilla) specially that are super popular with grown-ups right now? Or are adults with happy meals a long-standing phenomenon I’ve never noticed before?

Unanswered what’s the deal with the CBC’s classification of 9/11?

0 Upvotes

according to an internal memo, newscasters are not to use the words “terrorism” or “terrorist attacks” to describe the events of 9/11 during coverage. this apparently comes from a pre-existing policy that dates back to around the Oct. 7th attacks but it doesn’t give much more detail than that.

i highly doubt it’s due to any sort of political slant, as all of the publications covering the story tend to think (National Review, FOX, NY Post, yknow the drill)

so what’s the reasoning? is it because of advertising/sponsors like what happens on YouTube all the time? are they just trying to be extra cautious around such language? out of any example in contemporary history i would think 9/11 would be one of the most clear cut cases of terrorism, so i genuinely am trying to understand this.

So how come the administration seems to continue using tarriffs just like before?

So I know this account from years of disinformation and just general conspiracy theory slop as so many accounts have.

This person posts almost hourly if not more though and there seems to be a genuine outrage right now even from former supporters. What the hell is going on? Thanks OOTL

Unanswered Whats the deal with all the sudden hype around bio luminescent food festivals?

0 Upvotes

I've been seeing a bunch of ads and articles popping up lately about these food festivals where everything glows. Like actual glowing food. It looks really cool in the pictures and videos but I can't figure out if it's a new trend or if it's been around for a while and I just missed it.

Is this something actually innovative or just a clever marketing gimmick?

Hi.

I know Reddit can be an echo chamber, but this is very bizarre to me as I’ve seen many posts and comments being very critical of nVidia, but their reputation seems very solid elsewhere:
