I wouldn't have understood the joke without the black circle directing my attention to the center of the map.

The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope "overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects" is better than that.

I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they're trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.

"So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who's the antagonist of the movie."

It's pretty insane to me that someone would trust their life 20 meters above the water to a rope swing put in by some rando. What if the rope snaps or becomes detached from its anchor? What if the rope is way too long and you dislocate your shoulders hanging onto it on the way down? Or if you let go midway down because you realize it's too long, if you belly flop into the water, pass out, and drown? What if the rope wraps around one of your limbs?

I wouldn't trust this thing 3 meters off the ground. This is just begging for a hospital visit, and that's if you're not too unlucky.

(This isn't really close to terminal velocity, by the way.)

FYI, SponsorBlock isn't just for skipping sponsored segments. SB gives you granular control over the sorts of sections you can skip, and it only auto-skips sponsors by default. However:

  • There are several categories of section, including intro animation/intermission ("an interval without actual content"), preview (i.e. where the information already exists later in the video), sponsor (a segment made in return for payment from a third party), unpaid/self-promotion (e.g. "buy my merch"), interaction reminder (e.g. "remember to like and subscribe"), and endcards/credits. (There's also "filler tangent/jokes", but I haven't tried this one.)
  • For each of these categories, you can choose to disable altogether, show in the seek bar, prompt to manually skip, or auto skip.

So even if you would never want to skip a sponsored segment in your life, the extension still saves a ton of time if you have no/limited interest in watching even just one of the above-listed categories.
