      Seems more like a somber, dark reminder. Nothing has changed in 10 years... in fact, things have gotten quantifiably worse.
      Having these "reminders" sprinkled here and there with bits of John's dry British humor makes it more bearable to hear again though, that's for true!

      Humans can actually "fracture" their penises as well, despite the fact that we are pretty much the only mammals who don't have penis bones. It's not technically a fracture, because there's no bone involved, but those who have experienced it say that it does make a snapping or popping sound when it happens.

    26:31 I mean, no. The T-Rex definitely did not walk on it's stick-like arms, and were certainly way too front-heavy to not use their tails for balance, not like kangaroos for walking. Even if you only start counting things after the last extinction event, I'm pretty sure birds did not evolve wings within the short period of time we were around, and the farther back you go, the closer you get to the species we evolved from, which walked on their front and back legs. *Pretty embarrassing to have that mistake in our doomsday video.*
    If it's about the segway thing, you would instead have said: "We were the first species to invent a way not to have to walk on our two legs." Which is obviously less funny.
    27:32 I wouldn't mind if this were the pinnacle of human creation. It shows a culture we developed, the self awareness of it and our history, and our ability as the apex predators to make another species dress up and look like us from that time just for our amusement ie: "We felt like it.". We built a miniature version of the kind of things we had in that time, using technology and robotics for the movement and filming. It displays pastimes we've invented, a musical instrument and a type of unnatural beverage we made that continues to be popular to this day.
    What I'm saying is, *there's a lot more to that than just cats in outfits.* xD

    If I were a patent troll, I'd go after Microsoft for copying "the captain," and daemon that takes screen caps every few seconds and sends them to "seen" for processing. "Seen" does ocr and multi model captioning and sends that data to "seendx" which runs a llama index pipeline. Finally, "seenbot" can be queried or chatted with about the index of data which it has "seen". "Hear" also feeds into "seen." V1 owns the rights to V2, having designed it personally, and V2 owns the rights to its seeing/hearing pipeline, specifically its ability to profile a user based on his cubicle

    A creepy six hand massage perhaps also being followed with a reach around.
