Guess what holds up better under extreme heat: the banana peel or glass? The answer will surprise you.

I'm only a few episodes in, but it's one of those shows I can either abandon or continue watching. We'll see

Apparently, TikTok's censorship guidelines now include calling guns "pew-pews." And I knew this because a Tik-Toker was tasteless enough to create a video re-enacting the shooting of Abby Zwerner, one that repeatedly (no less than eight times) calls it "The Pew-Pew."





And, somehow, this isn't the one that's causing its creator a shitton of grief.

Also worth noting, the use of "Un-Alive" as a euphemism for death is starting to seep into the real world.

And, apparently, they seem to think that the word "un-alive" is used as a euphemism for death for mental health reasons and NOT because the owners of platforms like Tiktok or YouTube penalyse creators for using more direct language.

IN fairness, it's one that exists only because platforms like YouTube and (especially) TikTok are extremely squeamish about anything that they think could potentially alienate advertisers.

Meanwhile, in the real world, I've gone on Peacock and seen ads on Cannibal Holocaust. And if companies like Home Depot, WalMart, Hello Fresh, Sonic Burger, and Experia are okay with plastering their ads over a movie that was so violent that the filmmakers had to testify that they didn't actually kill their actors (but did violently dismember and kill a live turtle on camera), I can't imagine that their fears would be too justified when talking with words like "commit suicide."
