Gold and sapphire ring, England, 15th century

from The British Museum

[english-history-trip]

The inscription reads:

une fame nominatiue a fait de moy son datiff par la parole genitiue en depit de lacusatiff

...which, as far as I can tell, is a Middle French grammar joke.

Roman Carnelian Moon and Stars Ring, 100-300 AD

[thoodleoo]

obsessed with whichever ancient roman was out there walking around with a ring with a fish and shrimp on it

[spoekelse]

It wasn’t just one person, it was a trend. Here are a bunch of other Roman shrimp rings

"Shrimp is bugs" is older than all of us.

Mr. Charlie Kirk: a poison-tongued demagogue who fancied himself a debater―a would-be rhetorician who ultimately argued on the side of his own demise. A miser in thought who put a cheap price on life, a price which was promptly paid in full. Mr. Charlie Kirk, a man whose mouth shot off the very bullet that silenced him, finally proven right... in the Twilight Zone.

I want to take a minute to rant about my favourite Firefox add-on

(Well. Second favourite. Shinigami Eyes is my favourite.)

Welcome to SponsorBlock.

SponsorBlock is a particularly sophisticated ad blocker for youtube that skips over promotional spots within youtube videos. You can customise it to allow, autoskip, or ask to skip various types of in-video promotion.

For example, I’m watching this video:

If you look down in the progress bar, you’ll see yellow segments highlighted for unpaid/self promotion (this is people telling you about their patreons, or new merch they have for sale, or new youtube series they’re making, stuff like that), and a green segment for paid promotion (for if they start ranting about skillshare or hellofresh or squarespace, you know the kind). I’ve got it set up so that SponsorBlock will automatically skip the paid promotion – I don’t even know who this guy’s sponsor is. But he’ll keep telling me about his new PO box unless I choose to skip it with a single button press. (You can set it up to autoskip this stuff to, if you prefer). Segments are user-submitted, so there’s no weird errors made by bots or anything. This is the cleanest, most ad-free youtube experience I’ve ever had; often I’ll forget I have this installed and be like ‘wow youtube’s been surprisingly good lately’.

i finally got around to getting the firefox youtube dislikes extension and i think this enhances my experience immensely

[cryptcollector]

i did not expect this to get notes. anyways heres the links to Return YouTube Dislike: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/return-youtube-dislikes/ and https://returnyoutubedislike.com/

and also heres the link to YouTube Enhancer (has really cool features like filters and the rewatch statistics bar): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/

you may have to play around with the settings to get a result that you want, but go nuts, have fun, go watch your favorite youtube videos

[headspace-hotel]

Hmmm. I’m gonna switch to firefox i think

[unicorncryptid]

SponsorBlock is also absolutely magical, it will automatically skip everything from sponsored ad reads to subscription reminders to the non-music parts of music videos.
