It’s honest work! 
@stux I really cannot abide the current fad for hardcoded subtitles, particularly when done like this. I can't look anywhere else, I'm compelled to follow the words.
Makes the whole point of it being a video redundant.
@stux Seriously what kind of people run over snowman with their cars? What the heck is going through their heads??
@stux Please don't do this with fire hydrants. Fire departments need unobstructed access and visibility. Have fun with the rocks and tree stumps.
@stux Another way to do this, perhaps better as it wouldn't damage public infrustructure used for putting out fires... Bury 2-3 large concrete cinder blocks in snow man. This would have the added benefit that the car/truck would likely continue over the blocks causing a good bit of damage under the car as well as to the fender. Might be even more costly to the vehicle owner.
@bss@social.coop I want to see the dude able to carry 2-3 large concrete cinder blocks.
@pluto9 I'm not sure what you think a concrete cinder block is but around here they are around 30 lbs and easy to pick up.
@stux Reminds me of comedian Linda Smith on the miners' strikes in #Sheffield: they were on the picket line in very cold weather, so they made a snowman. Police car knocked it down, so they built another one: it got knocked down again. "So then they built the next one over a bollard..."
@stux find that guy and hit him in the mouth with a large wrench.
Not for the snowman thing, which is fun, but for the STUPID HIGH-SPEED MULTICOLOR WORDS.
IT IS NOT CLOSED CAPTIONING.
IT IS FUCKED UP AND ANNOYING AND BREAK HIS FUCKING TEETH.
@the_turtle I hate that this is now the """standard""" for closed captions on these short form media platforms, and I hate even more that it's bleeding over into regular YouTube videos.
It's terrible as closed captions and it's just plan annoying to have on screen when you don't need them. A distracting cyan thing bouncing around making it impossible to ignore.
@mjc0961 it's very much "if you're putting words on a screen that are coming out of your mouth, why do you have to be on the screen? All you made was a wasteful, annoying serial textfile and your teeth need to be shattered. It's a stupid too-fast <MARQUEE> tag from 1999 except there's unneeded video of your mouth moving.
