Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

    Should he refer to a kettle from Britain as a foreign kettle? Genuinely, what way of referencing it would have been unobjectionable to you here?

    The electric nature of the kettle isn’t what makes it abnormal for Americans (it might not be owned by every household, but people aren’t generally surprised or confused by them), it’s because Britain has 240V and the US has 120V electricity in most outlets, so American electric kettles take longer to boil water.

      *US people, you don’t own the continent(s)

      The absurdly low voltage is yet again a mcmurican thing. 240V is not just a british thing numbnuts.

        No, American.

        Canada uses 120V, Mexico uses 127V, Colombia uses 120V, Suriname uses 120V, Venezuela uses 120V…

        Maybe you should learn before you make a fool of yourself, but you probably do that no matter what.
