    In the 00s I used to download pirated movies and tv shows off of these asian YouTube clones. There were english boards with links to videos on these sites so finding specific movies or shows was easy. They were often split in 10 minute parts. 240p at best. Audio was often out of sync. I’d then load them onto my click wheel iPod (“iPod classic”) and watch them in bed. It’s how I watched a lot of movies my parents wouldn’t let me see, like Alien. It’s also how I watched nearly all of MST3K.




  • So many people think Mac is an acronym for whatever reason, as in “Do you use MAC or PC?”.

    I don’t know why they think this. It was never formatted that way in any of Apple’s marketing materials.

    It really annoys me. In my head when I read it I hear “MAC” pronounced in the voice of Gilbert Godfrey.

    I’m guessing they’re confusing it with MAC addresses? They probably saw the term somewhere and wrongly assumed it had something to do with Apple Macs.
