This is a dumb question, but I can't take this anymore. I have to ask.

What's with all of these weird craft videos online and why are they like that? Is this some sort of satire I don't get because I haven't been here long enough? Who is this for?

I mean, baking an entire multi-colored cake only to cut a slice and freeze it in resin... That's got to be some kind of joke I'm not getting, right?

[Guess who somehow managed to end up in a horrible clickbait rabbit hole at 3 AM?]

who would do such a thing to a perfectly good cake?

Beats me. It seemed kind of wasteful... It's just going to rot in there and ruin whatever it was put in, isn't it?

gross.
it could have been eaten.
how could that happen?

[Wow, this guy's really put out about this]

They only showed one slice...
Maybe the rest was eaten?

[They doubt it, given the crimes that were done to that one slice, but that's not what this guy needs to hear right now.]

[ desserts, as choso has discovered, is one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and the only one really worth mentioning in his strange eyes. ]

give me the name of the creator.
i will have a talk with them about food waste.
just a talk.
a little talk.

[uh oh]

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to do that.
I saw other videos with different people each time, so it might not even be one person.

i see.
it is endemic.
how unfortunate.
i will be very busy then.

go to sleep

I don't sleep...

so you mean you're just

sitting there?

Not exactly...

It started off as research.
I don't have an answer as to how it got to this point.

[the algorithm is a strange and mysterious beast.]

what were you even doing research on

I was trying to figure out what a "life coach" is.
It's my "job" here. Apparently.

You may need to refine your search terms and disregard irrelevant suggestions.

Yeah, I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.
I only watched a couple out of curiosity and now it's all I'm getting. I guess that's how they get you.

Indeed. It seems that those videos deviate from the original subject entirely.

Just a little, maybe...
Oh
Uh
You said something about refining my search terms. Do you have any tips on that?

[Because they know not ignoring the videos that didn't have anything to do with what they were looking for is all on them.]

Certainly. Are you willing to reveal yours?

Oh, sure.
It was something like "what is a life coach?" "life coach" and "life coach examples."
And since there was a lot of talking with other people involved I also looked up "how to sound more natural" and "how to sound natural fake voice"

I'm... still getting used to actually having a voice at all.

it's good for background noise when you're doing something else...

It sure is some kind of noise. But the result...

i think people make it just to be shocking.
or maybe to sell something?
this sort of on-demand video production doesn't exist in my time, so i was super shocked by it too!
like that "cake or not" thing

"Cake or not?" I think I missed that one.

it's videos of people making things that are cakes but don't look like it at all!
i thought the answers would be obvious but it fooled me a lot!
this is one of them i stumbled across.

Edited 2024-11-15 01:43 (UTC)

[It takes time for them to return.

About three or four videos worth of time.]

Okay, these aren't nearly as bad. The chalk and sidewalk one was actually pretty creative.
Although I'm a little concerned about how hard some of them were to cut through. Should it be that hard to do?

[...maybe just one more. It's still early in the morning so they have time.]
