Reports say Windows 15 will be "a transparent pane of glass" that will be installed into frames on a wall; Lead developer comments, "finally, we got it right. Somehow we kept making operating systems instead and it was getting really frustrating."

My favorite YTP jokes in no particular order:

Cutting off big numbers to be really small, especially monetary values ("Owns a business worth 1.2 dollars" "Biggest in the world! Holds two")

Game show YTPs where the completely nonsensical answer the contestants give is actually correct

Introduction sections that are artificially extended because the same guy keeps appearing over and over between other people, bonus points if the additional copies of the guy are actually edited to be there afterward

saus will never not be funny

A very animated movement or expression like a gasp or a laugh being reversed midway through

When a commercial says something like "cool, right?" and then immediately goes "No, wrong, this is actually completely normal"

Heh. A snail church, or a Snurch if you will.

But you won't.

I won't let you.

I really like thinking about how different various forms of media would look in an anthro world full of diverse species.

Rhythm games made by and for arachnids and other creatures with a lot of limbs, far more intensive than the standard - these would often have, sometimes post-launch, a mode for 'normal' species, but some particularly skilled streamers, content creators etc. stay on the arachnid mode just to flex.

(Imagine a centipede absolutely tearing up a really long dance pad and the sheer amount of arrows on the game screen...)

An underground community of Bats and other sensitive-hearing animals, who share music designed to only be heard by those with the right ears. Frequencies most can't comprehend. The community is pretty big, so you have to take their word for it that its good music, right? It's not just a collective ongoing prank, is it?

Movies made by species with worse/different color vision, criticized and beloved for weird palettes, lighting, and other things. Sometimes the colors were deeply considered and intentional, other times it's just how the director normally sees the world anyway.

It'd probably be customary to have some sort of indicator of a person's species next to their name in credits and such, for representation, and to appreciate when a species with unique abilities or challenges partakes in a production. I'm imagining cute little doodled symbols next to names on scrolling movie credits.

Archival and record-keeping becomes even more important when your population's lifespan is so varied (though I imagine 'around human lifespan' to be the default for an anthro world) and there's more diverse perceptions, abilities, etcetera. Additionally important if hibernation carries over into this world - if someone was missing out on all but minimal activity for a huge chunk of the year, it'd definitely become important for them to be able to quickly catch up in the Spring. Podcasts and really long video essays would probably be a hit with hibernators, too.

Oh boy, groundhog day!

Randomly thinking about how cool cameras are as an invention. Humans have made a lot of incredible things. Somehow we made a little box that through specific material combinations is able to 'see' things in almost the same way we can, and capture reflections of light and stuff that nearly perfectly transcribe what we see onto a little piece of paper. It's magic!!
