Is there an extension to replace the /shorts/ with /v/ automatically in the URL? This will convert a short to normal playback but I've been doing it manually.

Dont understand why people would have such a hate boner for shorts and rather watch the exact same video on the exact same platform just because its not in the short format lol

Siellus t1_j7p1dfz wrote

Because shorts are fucking garbage - they're objectively inferior in every single way.

They're made for devices with less detail control, so no video seeking, no audio control, limited video real estate.

They're made for the sake of the "try to make you swipe for hours and hours" algorithm.

And the single worst thing about them - They're forced on me, I can't avoid them - I try to hide them on youtube but that only "temporarily" hides them from the front page. The youtubers I generally follow now spam shitty shorts too and reddit doesn't let me filter out all youtube shorts.

Shorts, tiktok - all that shit can go burn,

Yes, but the format isn't optimized for them. You have to hit a separate button to open a portrait mode comment window. It's horrible.

The problem is that the rest of the platform is optimized for landscape. If I'm watching a YouTube video on my phone, it's in landscape mode.

ToolMeister t1_j7rq7gy wrote

Not arguing that, but you wouldn't read the comments while watching in landscape on your phone either since that's not even possible

I rarely read comments on my phone at all, but I do on desktop, which is also landscape. From my perspective, it's a long-form landscape experience, and the shorts simply suck.

When I was a kid, my dad and I were driving in the California desert heading to the Palomar observatory. On an empty highway completely without warning our car was blasted by a low flying F-16 that had snuck up on us from behind. I was instantly under the dashboard and my dad was shrunk in his chair shouting expletives (being a commercial pilot he was super pissed) It was the biggest "jump scare" I've ever experienced.

frickindeal t1_j7qo22j wrote

Got hit with a killer "sneak-up" flyover from a distant air show. We were at a pier on a beach looking at the air show going on miles away across the water. The planes would come out over the lake, but never closer than maybe a half-mile or so. Suddenly a jet comes from the land side of our view (behind us) and the sound blasted us all at once. Entire pier of people were jump-scared by that one.

I worked near Heathrow, and every day you could hear the amazing sound as Concorde took off at about 11.00am. The engine roar would fade, and all that was left was the wailing of car alarms, from cars parked nearby. The raw power of that plane was incredible.

It's literally just a model right now. Usually takes a bit longer than that to develop an aircraft, test parts, get manufacturing set up, get it approved/qualified by the FAA, then sell it. Not to mention how many companies and "idea" planes pop up already.

Unfortunately, without an engine or half-way working prototype, they haven't really even taken the first steps in development, at least not the challenging ones. If they already had made progress, I'd say they have a chance, but it's still way too early to have any hope.

Dad was in the RAF and we lived on various bases my entire childhood.

In that entire time nothing was as loud as watching a Vulcan flypast at an airshow in the mid-70's. I remember a can of Coke resting on top of the car being shuffled across the roof as it flew by.

somebodyelse22 t1_j7sal4t wrote

I'm envious of you. I never saw a Vulcan, but fell in love with them when I saw a documentary about how Vulcans were used in the bombing of the Falkland Islands. So audacious to use moth-balled aircraft for one last mission, to fly half-way round the world as a reminder that even mainland South America could be targeted if needed. Old technology that still carried an unexpected punch.

If you've not seen it, highly recommend the following documentary about the story of Vulcans going to war. https://youtu.be/D3ZdOo9dtC8

Not a plane but occasionally helicopters will buzz 1WTC in NYC and it’s pretty nuts. They’ll be flying within what looks like 100’ and you can clearly everyone inside. Close enough to hear the windows shake. And not just once but for a few laps.

It’s always military (blackhawks) or coast guard (also blackhawks)

From one pedant to another: saying “your point is nonetheless diminished” implies that their point is diminished. Nonetheless means “however” or “despite anything to the contrary”. You could have said “Nonetheless, your point is undiminished.”

I went to Pensacola for college, which is the home of the Blue Angels. You can often see them practicing from the beach. When they are going fast and heading straight towards you... you don't hear them until they are right on top of you or even past you. It's terrifying because they are super loud too. It's amazing how something that loud can be so sneaky.

Ravius t1_j7otj8y wrote

Pretty common move from air forces around the world. The car must have wandered where it shouldn't (near a military base or active patrol zone) and it's a harmless way of making a signal and clear warning.

For example during french operation in Africa it was common for Mirage 2000 pilots to fly full gaz just above militants that got a bit too agressive towards ground forces (agressive meaning starting shooting, and wouldn't let go just by normal exchanges of fires). Most of the time they will just shit themselves and leave.

It could also be a dick move from bored pilots.

ToolMeister t1_j7p1beg wrote

To be fair, assuming you made an honest mistake and get actually lost, ending up driving down a military road...I don't think having a fighter jet kick up dust is explaining the circumstances very well....

Just seems like a helicopter or jeep with megaphone telling you to turn around might get the message across in a less panic inducing way

geegeeallin t1_j7p2720 wrote

I suppose it’s safer for the warner since the vehicle could contain an explosive. Tough to damage the jet, easy to damage a responding jeep or helicopter.

>If they don't understand why it happened why would they leave.

If you're confused when a military aircraft buzzes you in a restricted area, you shouldn't be driving. The reality is the military doesn't care if you understand or not, that's not important. Their job is to keep random people off restricted areas, if you can't tell someone wants your attention when you're repeatedly buzzed by aircraft, that's on you. This is commonplace in secure areas. Just look up what happened at the NSA entrance on the east coast when two dealers took the wrong turn. Same would happen at any other restricted area.

They have a lot more to lose by not keeping the place secure.

And by that logic I should already know I'm in a place I shouldn't be. Clearly the scenario is when I'm oblivious to my error. This will only scare me into a panic.

StorminNorman t1_j7qavlu wrote

How the fuck do you get that logic from what I said?! Do you think the pilot cares if you know if you're there or not? Cos they sure as shit don't. You know what a lot of people do when they panic? Turn tail and run away. It's an innate response. Sure, some clam up. But a lot don't and will do everything to remove themselves from the situation. Think about it, would they do this if it wasn't effective?

Because for the flyover to have the effect you want I have to know I'm somewhere I shouldn't be. Are you ok? Have fun scaring randos and then blowing them up because they're confused bud.

StorminNorman t1_j7qdanu wrote

So. Your first thought when you got blasted by this would be to just continue driving onwards? Did you watch the video? The car and it's occupants got their shit rocked. That's a pretty clear signal to literally everyone on the planet besides you that maybe something is up and you should probably not keep doing what it is that you're doing. But sure, tell me more how you'd just plow on like someone with a room temperature IQ...

I am using my imagination. I'm using it to try to see this from the point of an idiot and am obviously failing. I say again, why would they do this if it didn't work? And who gives a fuck if you knew what happened or not? You'd bug the fuck out of their as quick as you could. You wouldn't be hanging around to find out if it happens a second time. It's like being in an unfamiliar part of town and hearing something out of the ordinary. You don't hang around, you get out of there asap. This is that turned to 14. I swear, it must be tiring for you, having your two brain cells constantly fighting for third place...

The US was using sonic booms as shows of force for a while. It stopped because residence were complaining.

In this case (again IIRC) this was a suspected suicide bomber (VBED) who was hesitant to approach a checkpoint.

Could you fucking imagine if that actually was a VBIED that had a huge payload (many did in Iraq) and decided to blow up as the jet passed over and then crashed the jet? That would have been absolutely fucking insane.

Pretty much anything that involves approaching a military facility you shouldn't, especially if they have active training at that time. That's better than how some places handle it. You get one warning to turn around, if you keep approaching they open fire until you're neutralized. IIRC, it happened at the NSA entrance years ago, two dealers didn't read the signs towards the entrance (it's very clear it's a restricted area) and panicked.
