TechLich,

Pretty sure it’s an autocomplete (like copilot or something)

They were typing

progress != “Hold”

And the ai autocomplete suggested

progress != “Hold onto your butts!”

Hence why the completion part is in grey (it’s a suggestion)

TechLich,

I was going to come up with something fun and clever to keep it going but the next line of the real song starts with “cream-coloured ponies” so I think we should probably just leave it here after all.

There are some of the internet’s things that we don’t need to enumerate.

TechLich,

Yep. Most Latin languages have gendered nouns. Italian, Spanish, German etc. All have masculine/feminine objects.

Eg. In Italian a fork is feminine (la forchetta) but a spoon is masculine (il cucchiaio). A table in your living room is a boy (il tavolo) but a table that you’re eating lunch on is a girl (la tavola).

It’s bizarre.

TechLich,

True! It’s not just a Latin thing and Slavic languages have it too. I wonder where it came from originally. Probably one of those Proto Indo European things. Though it’s in some Indigenous Australian languages too (though not all) so might be even older?

TechLich,

What was the original text‽

TechLich,

By the sounds of it their entire video team left. So not half of the channel gone, but all of it…
