  • I kind of agree but I also kind of don’t.

    I thoroughly enjoy well produced content by the likes of Veritasium, Captain Disillusion, Mark Rober, Lemmino, Potato Jet and more. I do see where you’re coming from tho

    There still are people doing it as a hobby and some even consider it a hobby despite the high production quality. Those channels are harder to find, though and that is kind of sad. I can’t help but wonder what would’ve been if we hadn’t commercialised the web.

    I meant tobacco with the whole lung cancer thing. But tbh you can’t escape poisening yourself if you have a fairly regular life. Cars, processed foods, plastics; all that kind of stuff is very hard to avoid for most people. With smoking I just really hate the smell (I’m hypersensitive) and the fact that smoker’s poor decisions often times directly impact the people around them

    I don’t care if anyone smokes. Just don’t annoy me with it. People smoking in public places and giving you free lung cancer is my worst pet peeve.

    Thats why I hate smoking more than drinking. Drinking doesn’t make me want to cough my lungs out and doesn’t endanger me directly when someone does it. Smoking does.






  • Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

    I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

    I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

    In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it’s fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

    When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.
