No particular reason for asking, but I'm about curious the name of this forum template I've been seeing a lot lately (saw it around six months ago the first time). It's basically a linear forum template where there is a timeline on the right side of the site. You can interact with it. 'Template' is probably not the right word, but you get the idea.

Examples: Logseq's forum uses it and so does Anki's forum.

Sorry I don't really have any more detail. I read this blurb about a book on either reddit or goodreads. Something about humanity discovering interstellar travel or something major like that and aliens sending a message warning humanity to stop, or else. At least that's what I remember. Any help would be appreciated. Been searching for a couple of hours and have had no luck.

A character with a messy apartment brings over a friend and the friend goes "OMG! You've been robbed!" What scene is this from?

I'm thinking it's from around the 2010s, not recent.

I just remembered a video of a attic window that opens up into a small balcony and in this specific video it drops on top of the man's head

Edit: typo

The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk.

It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art.

First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.

I saw a picture of my friend today and it reminded me of this image. It is a man in a suit (white suit?) with his arms stretched open, but also shoulders raised like shrugging...? Also I think that the man had his (black) hair tied back, in some kind of man bun? Every time I see this image (meme?) the man gives me some kind of mafia feeling

Does anyone have any clue what I might be talking about? Might be out of a movie or something...

Edit:

So my chemistry teacher went on a tangent in one of our lessons, and started telling us a bit about a Minecraft channel he was a part of in 2012. At its peak, the channel had either 10K subs or 10K views, but the videos were all set to private when YouTube introduced stricter copyright rules. He implied that he was challenging anyone interested to try and find the channel.

The channel itself was run by somebody else, who was not named but apparently used to work for NVIDIA before leaving to work as a kernel dev at ARM. The same guy, at some point, ran a small WoW server on one of my institution's dedicated servers.

The server and the channel would have been based in Northumberland, United Kingdom; and the players would have had northern, Geordie, Northumbrian, or Yorkshire accents.

I will not be naming my teacher, as he said that his name wasn't anywhere on the channel or in the videos; and I would prefer not to disclose the name of my institution to protect whatever's left to protect about my identity.

Does anyone know anything, or am I going to have to put my Sherlock Holmes hat on?

You guys kicked ass finding that article I was looking for.

This one I have been looking for for years.

It's a funny serialized short story about a guy(maybe British) who just keeps having a terrible day, and whenever he uses the f-word to describe a shitty event happening to him, he says fluff instead of fuck. "Fluff that" "so he took my fluffing wallet".

I know for sure at one point he ends up in the hospital, he may have been mugged at the beginning of the story but I'm not 100%, this story was so funny when I first read it and I have never been able to find it again.

Thank you

I was just reading this article and then accidentally zoomed up to the top of my feed after I've been scrolling for an hour and I cannot for the life of me find this article about a reporter going inside TSMC talking about what it looks like while TSMC starts up in Arizona. I can't even find the same article on any outside news site.

I'm fairly certain he has a whole series of videos, with this portable stove. Kinda sits so it's almost level with his shoulders.

He's got a fringe cut and glasses, and often is cooking ramen with additions to it.

Thanks!

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.

A woman (thicc) walks down a sidewalk. A man says something crude, slaps her on the ass, and his hand gets stuck. She laughs maniacally while he gets sucked into the void and his entire body disappears into her ass.

All I can find is porn! :|

I don't remember a lot of details but I remember the human race ends up allying itself with a seemingly friendly alien race that agrees to give humanity advanced medicine and technology, but with the goal of slowly wiping out humanity through slowly making the species sterile. It follows a couple that is trying to conceive but has so far been unable to and the overlords keep reassuring them thR everything is fine just keep trying but the woman does digging and figures out what is happening but it's already too late. I think there is a time travel story where humanity is prevented from either coming into contact with the aliens in the first place or is warned away from making the deal.

Thank you thank you, it's driving me crazy.

I'm looking for a music video of a Power Rangers / Super Sentai fight sequence set to Run by Ghostface Killah. In the video the Power Rangers battle a group of enemies for some unidentified object about the size of a football, which changes possession multiple times throughout the fight. From my memory the production quality was pretty good, and it was all shot in one continuous take. I saw it years ago and have had no luck digging it up again.

So I remember a very short video, it might be from before the youtube era but I'm not sure.

The guy was walking towards a girl with a heart in his hands, an actual heart, probably an animals heart, the kind you'll find in a science class.

He looks at the camera, points at the heart and says "Heart!", turns towards the lady, and tells her "I give you my heart". She then slaps the hand holding the heart on his face, and the video stopped there, I think they were laughing.

I have no idea why I thought of this video today, but I can't recall where i saw that.

I think it was either homemade, or on a ridiculous low budget show.

It may even be a wkuk sketch? Or tomska?

There are some background guitar 'slides' (I think) starting at 3:28 in this song, they sound a lot like another song, I can't put my finger on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM4uPPiceBo&t=208s

I'm thinking 90s alternative rock, maybe?

It's a clip I've seen long ago, it was in Japanese but I had seen a version with subtitles. I think it was Kagamine Rin or Ren. The art style was pretty nice, the colors involved a lot of black, red and white. The story went like this : An injured woman found shelter in a cave, but it was inhabited by a she-wolf. The wolf (who could talk) was about to eat her but agreed to listen to the woman's story first. Turned out this woman was a warrior who had killed a bunch of people, and was betrayed and stabbed right when she had decided to chill. The wolf was like "yeah, very interesting, but I'm still gonna eat you", but then the woman stabbed the wolf. And then she was killed by some kind of demon that came from inside of her. Anyone knows the title ?

I believe it was an interview where a guy tells a story about trying to get fit for a movie role so he hires a popular Hollywood fitness trainer. The guy tries to tell the trainer who he wants to look like but the trainer cuts him off and says "Don't tell me, I already know. Brad Pitt, Fight Club." The guys asks how did he know and the trainer says "That's what everyone asks for."

It was a comic where someone was feeding a catgirl but wanted them to stay in cat form to he fed and said the food was for the cat form and not for the catgirl form
