I installed Linux (so should you)

Image
PewDiePie’s latest dive into Linux is equal parts hilarious and insightful. In his video, he talks about how Windows has been “torturing” him for years, pushing him to finally make the switch. He praises Linux for its lack of bloatware, its freedom to customize, and—surprisingly—its growing viability for gaming. He even compares Valve’s support for Linux to Gandalf heroically arriving at Helm’s Deep, which is a pretty epic way to frame the shift. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows—he acknowledges that switching means sacrificing some Windows-only apps, though he insists the trade-off is worth it. What makes this video stand out is PewDiePie’s signature humor and relatability. He doesn’t just throw technical jargon at his audience—he makes Linux feel accessible, even for casual users. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his journey from frustration to liberation is something a lot of people can relate to. Whether you’re a hardcore techie or just someone tired of Windows updates inter...

Image
When massive content creators wade into complex issues without care, the result isn’t just misinformation—it’s outright chaos. SlopTube & Weaponized Ignorance by @overzealots takes a hard look at how careless coverage can distort narratives, mislead audiences, and fuel unnecessary outrage.

The video dives into the broader issue of how social media rewards sensationalism over accuracy. Platforms thrive on engagement, and controversy is the easiest way to get clicks. That means creators—whether intentionally or not—often prioritize drama over depth, ...

The WORLD'S LARGEST Abandoned Building - Sears Headquarters

Image
Imagine walking through a 2.4 million-square-foot corporate ghost town—once the beating heart of Sears, now eerily silent. This video by  @StringerMedia takes us deep into the abandoned headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, where empty hallways and forgotten office spaces tell the story of a retail empire that once ruled American shopping.

The video captures the haunting beauty of the space, from dust-covered desks to cavernous meeting rooms that once buzzed with activity. But it’s not just about the visuals—this exploration dives into the rise and fall of Sears, reflecting on how a company that revolutionized retail with its catalog and department stores ultimately crumbled under the weight of competition and mismanagement. The video highlights key mom...
