They very nearly beat piracy when there was basically only one streaming service, Netflix, and everything was on it.

Music piracy used to be the biggest thing and now no one pirates music anymore since there are one or two streaming services with essentially 100% of all the music available

Make going legit easier than piracy and piracy goes away

But unfortunately for the studios everyone wanted to get their own piece of the streaming revenues and fragmented the market. In a lot of ways it’s still better than the old cable tv system (everything on demand, no or at least fewer ads, higher quality programming) but the sheer amount of services someone needs in order to be able to watch everything (and even then it’s not 100%) is really turning people off.

If they’d all stick with Netflix or whatever and every studio got on board there’d be basically no piracy now

I’m assuming the bread pumpernickel which literally means “farting Nicholas” must be related to these jokes. Why does Nicholas always fart?

Finnish is unrelated to nearly all other European languages

Swedish has more in common with Hindi than it does Finnish, despite being neighbours

How exactly are Saudi Arabia and Iran going to be in an alliance with each other? Don’t they hate each other? They only just reestablished diplomatic relations of any kind after having none for seven years

Voyager had the captain proton episodes which are tremendously silly as well

Tears of the Last Kingdom

Honestly, it would work out pretty good. Uhtred and Link would join forces to save Zelda from Heston, and retake Bebbanburgh

Similarly, “presently” originally meant “soon”, but now people use it to mean “at this time”. Like “I will be leaving presently” could mean two different things depending on who’s saying it

That’s true in older British homes, but it’s fine to drink hot water in Canada.

British houses even have the hot and cold separated in different taps, but as you know Canadian taps are mixed
