That all sounds pretty fair. I haven't watched many of those videos you've mentioned but I certainly have noticed times where it feels like she is stepping outside of her expertise. And totally agree on Kurzgesagt. I feel like they are one of the more reliable science channels on the platform.

Care to explain why?

While I agree with most of your statements, the RTGs that NASA uses (assuming that's what you are referring to) don't really have much of a connection at all to Nuclear power plants. They are very useful for small scale projects like rovers but really have no commercial uses for anything near people. Plus I think NASA generally prefers solar power whenever they can use it as it's far cheaper and safer to get into orbit.

This video includes a much better representation of what gravity is IMO. The creator had the same issue with people describing gravity with gravity.

I guess I technically do value humans I'm not allergic to, but so far that hasn't come up in my life yet.

I suppose they really wanna use all that R&D that they did on gesture tracking with the vision somewhere.

Don't pretty much all modern .zip managers know to not open zip bombs anymore?

I definitely see issues with how it targets young people so aggressively and can have a huge negative impact on their mental health. China can essentially use it as a tool to lower the mental health of our youth and spread misinformation on purpose. The fact that the version available in China emphasizes educational content and limits usage per day shows that they know exactly what they are doing with the international versions.

I guess this one is a bit of a freebie for me.

To me that's honestly more RDR2. That games amount of detail is pretty staggering.

That should be no surprise. They have been designed to be purposefully addictive.

The people who don't know how I understand completely. But honestly people who have the know-how are underestimating how easy it has got. I can torrent a movie at a much higher quality than Netflix will even stream to my PC and do it all within 5 minutes.
