needs some instructions. was just staring at a solved cube and a bunch of disabled buttons. reloaded a few times. checked the console. i accidently managed to click on one of the timer items as I was fucking about clicking all over the place.

thought from the look of it i thought i was supposed to interact with cube to mess it up and let the computer solve in in some time. so i was ctrl/alt dragging around

gave it more time i'd do of any other site that isn't clear what to do.

This is a normal post Agreed
It is quite clever though.
It seems to be :
"Set a time, press Go, and the cube will be solved in exactly that time".

So, you can set exactly how long you want to be mesmerised for, staring a self-solving cube. Very relaxing, IMO

Edit: Oh - and the page even calls itself a Stopwatch. I missed that.

is this AI? because at 2:37 something very strange happens when his hand goes in front of the other bloke's face.

Only other explination I can think of is interlaced footage, getting the field order wrong on import then a low bitrate encoding at some point.

But I can't see it anwyhere else
(, Sun 8 Feb 2026, 19:19, Reply)
This is a normal post My money is on a straightforward encoding artefact
The face in the background is relatively low brightness, and I've seen many cases where low brightness areas show up encoding artefacts - having a large high brightness hand move across the low brightness face could be an example of this.

This is a normal post That's already a thing - has been for a few years.
1080p videos have a Premium option if you check the video settings - the "free with ads" videos are all lower bitrate.

Then they added the "default on" AI upscaling, and they are just rolling out the "text prompt content creation" feature, to flood the platform with even more slop for even less effort.

Enjoy!

This is a normal post I think they have these wierd shitty vehicles because they're poor, rather specialised

I once spent a couple of days travelling through the mountains in Laos on what seemed to be a motor in a wheelbarrow at the front, with a big rubber drive belt pulling the passenger cart behind it connected by poles. I paid my money to get to the chinese border, and found we all (me and whatever villages and their chicken were in there on that stretch) had to get out and walk on the steeper bits of the dirt roads.
