Re: The Youtube video thread!
Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English—to prove that Italians would just love any American song. And it was a hit.

Re: The Youtube video thread!
Good grief that brings back memories. In 1983 I had access to the schools two Apple II EuroPlus computers. That machine had a build in speaker, but could only ever go beep (a single tone of fixed length). I remember digging into the mechanism for how it worked. It turned out to be attached to a memory address. If you stored a 1 in the address the speaker would be pushed out (and stay there) if you stored 0 in would move in, again staying there. To get it to make sound you had to write a program that would alternate a 0 and 1 at a certain frequencies. Within an hour we had it playing a simple tune, if was about as effective as the early versions of that song.

Watching this episode was pretty bittersweet. Although I've always been a WWF guy, I still had a soft spot for WCW and NWA before.

So, the YouTube algorithm believes this is something I would be interested in. Fish breeding. How is your YouTube algorithm today?

Okay so for once they nailed it.

Fire. At least one of us gets on-point recommendations. Not fish breeding. You know what?! The Hell with it! I'm going to become a fish breeder! I'll be a grandpa, a great-grandpa, and a great-great grandpa!RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 3:34 amHere's the first video that comes up for me:

I don't think you are meant to actually breed with the fish
