Environmentally friendly balloons?
Hi Lemmy, I'm organising a funeral, and one of the ideas that has come up is for people to write memories on a balloon and let them go. However, I've also heard that they often end up in trees etc and are terrible for the environment. Is there such a thing as environmentally safe balloons? Other suggestions are also welcome.

Those videos are a result of people min/maxing for the algorithm; the fact that you see them so much shows that they are unfortunately succesfull. Its a symptom of people being able to make (good) money from it.

There is still plenty of good content, but you would find it in the recommendations. You have to go searching for it. Search for your hobbies and interests. The more niche your search terms the better.


I’m sad that he gave up the puppets, those bits always made me laugh in a “lame dad joke” sort of way.

Flippin’ 'Eck!


I never thought I would care even the slightest bit about turn signal solenoids, but I watched the whole hour long video with fascination lol
