Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

    My point was the daft “british kettle”, as if the uk is the only place where people know that electricity can heat water…

    Knowing that the usa is the worst thing to happen to earth in the last fucking large amount of years, is not bigotry, it’s just common sense.

      The specific kettle is from Britain, it’s not the concept of kettles that is unknown to us.

        I started watching one of his videos and it was dull as dishwater

        In the usa I guess you would say ‘dull as toilet bowl water’

      Should he refer to a kettle from Britain as a foreign kettle? Genuinely, what way of referencing it would have been unobjectionable to you here?

      The electric nature of the kettle isn’t what makes it abnormal for Americans (it might not be owned by every household, but people aren’t generally surprised or confused by them), it’s because Britain has 240V and the US has 120V electricity in most outlets, so American electric kettles take longer to boil water.

        *US people, you don’t own the continent(s)

        The absurdly low voltage is yet again a mcmurican thing. 240V is not just a british thing numbnuts.

          No, American.

          Canada uses 120V, Mexico uses 127V, Colombia uses 120V, Suriname uses 120V, Venezuela uses 120V…

          Maybe you should learn before you make a fool of yourself, but you probably do that no matter what.

            mcmurican

            I don’t remember ever suggesting that you couldn’t find other low voltage countries.

            Here is a handy reference for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

            “Maybe you should learn before you make a fool of yourself, but you probably do that no matter what.”

            Have fun believing that people are stupid, and gullible enough to buy your bullshit.

                  Yes.

                  I’ve also never spoken to a real yuro-peen before, let alone someone from another continent (I’ve heard there are more, but they beat us for asking questions about unamerican things in school, so I’m not sure).
