I figured it was some bored dudes doing a stunt, but might also be an ad, whoops

I take no credit, I just post interesting loops here. @fiendishplan@lemmy.world might be the OP, maybe they know?

That’s not really how that works. If you don’t like the license though, you should ping @dansup@mastodon.social about improving it.

The dev is working on a new UI that’s coming soon, but in the meantime I’d recommend https://tesseract.dubvee.org/. It’s a really good UI for Lemmy in general, and also supports embedding Loops as regular <video> elements with browser-native controls.

Haven’t seen that before, thanks for posting it!

Loops that are reposted from other platforms are fine to post here, they just need an [R] in the title.

However, I’m pretty sure that this is the OP posting their stuff to Loops. The username on Loops matches the Instagram name.

EDIT: Maybe @ham_bitious@lemmy.radio is the same user and can say for sure

A family member had a deposit down on a Cybertruck and was ready to buy one. They canceled their deposit and bought a different EV because of how much they despise Elon now, so it’s not just sour grapes from people that couldn’t/wouldn’t buy one anyways.

I’m assuming it refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolosa,_Spain

Most likely. Forgot to add the [R], edited it in, thanks!

Absurdist humor about how bad things used to be and/or how ignorant people used to be

I’d like to know too. Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to tell with a lot of these, especially the ones that use some website that won’t tell you the prompt/model they use

EDIT: This might be the original post, I don’t see that it says what was used to make it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD72SYbMnCX/. That account is called loveonly.ai, which is a parked domain with nothing on it, so who knows 🤷

Thanks for posting! Here’s a transcript of both parts:

It only takes one spark to light a fire, but here are 10 sparks that terrify the 1% because they actually work

1. Ditch your bank for a local credit union. Banks exist to make profits for their shareholders. Local credit unions do not. They are non-profit. They have lower rates and lower fees, too.
2. Join your local mutual aid network, or start one if there isn’t one where you live. Real change starts with neighbors, plus building your local network is gonna be crucial over these next few years.
3. Use your library like it’s a second home. It’s a building full of literally free resources that they want us to pay for elsewhere, plus librarians are low key revolutionaries, talk to them.
4. If applicable, join your local tenants’ union. Nothing scares landlords more than organized renters. When we know our rights and stand together, the power dynamic shifts fast.
5. Join a bulk buying group. Cut out the middle man and watch your grocery bill drop.
6. Join your local buy nothing group. Watch things magically appear when you need them. Also, get rid of the scarcity mindset that capitalism thrives on.
7. I’m biased in this one, but buy local whenever possible. 68¢ of every dollar that you spend locally stays in your community compared to 43¢ when you don’t shop locally.
8. Support citizen journalists and independent media. Somebody else is not paying the bills for these people.
9. Start a freedom school. Weekend education programs teach financial literacy, labor history, community organizing. Informed communities are dangerous communities for the 1%.
10. Boycott the big guys. Boycott Amazon and Walmart. These places do nothing for your local economy.

FYI if anybody is uploading stuff to loops, it says there’s a 1 minute max length, but I’ve seen longer videos, like 3 minutes on there, so a video like this wouldn’t have to be split when uploading.

No worries, pedantry and nerding out appreciated!

In the butt

ani is also an acceptable plural for anus. Learned that from a crossword puzzle

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but in case not, the joke is that she’s snorting it like cocaine

Yep, whoops. Fixed 👍
