Would love to see what niche/under appreciated creators are out there! Also what your favorite videos are of theirs!
Mine is this guy who creates songs based on Age of Empires 2 SFX and content creators/pros. So he's SUPER niche and will probably never become big, but I still adore him.
Catchy song made with AOE2 sfx

A totally legit love song about how much a pro named MBL loves another player called Hoang.

A content creator named T90 told a story about how he got absolutely rinsed in a game, and it was memorialized as a banger.

So yeah! Show me your tiny content creators that you adore!
I just think it's so cool that anyone can just make custom toys now and sell them.
Yes a lot of stalls just sell the same thing, but yesterday I went to a fair and the 3 big stalls were so unique.
1st stall was all about high precision toys. Like I can't explain how smooth the toys were. Talking to him he was all about making them as dialed in as possible with these tiny super delicate gears and moving wings on toys, or puzzles that glide like they are oiled off each other. I'm too lazy to go find the thing I bought as I was walking around the house playing with it.
2nd stall was all about large cartoony ones using a printer that can do up to 5 colors! I ended up getting a little dino!
Then the last one was a guy who only printed things he personally designed! With all his pieces being toys that are giant version of lego things like his giant lego light sabers that are straight out of lego star wars
(off his website as I didn't buy anything from him)
It's just so cool that these people can build their own little toy factories and make a variety of toys either in special ways, or make their own unique toys. I know it's not star treck replicators, but it's still just exciting to me.
I actually owned 3d printers in the past, but the effort to dial them in just wasn't super worth it to me, since it felt like an all day activity to get my cheap printer to print my little $2 toy. Would much rather spend $5 to get a much better version off of someone else who spends all day working to make the print quality ace and put their own spin on the toys.
Is the idea of having people compete for life changing/saving amounts of money, then have it crash down on their head for our amusement, something that should end for you?
Mr. Beast of course does things like "Stay in this room for 100 days to win a million dollars" but he is mostly just turning an old format into internet. Biggest Loser of course made dozens of people drastically change their bodies in irreversible ways, just to give one of them money. Survivor once again has people compete for months in brutal fashion with only one walking away with a prize. Mr. Beast is more or less just stealing Big Brother whole sale for most of his contest videos, but making them click bait.
Then of course we have things like Deal or No deal, which is mostly just offering people a hope of a life changing amount of money, then the chance for a better life vanish before them case by case. It still seems a lot less brutal than the other three, but still rather dark when you realize we are watching someone be given the hope to get out of debt and buy a house have it taken from them case by case.
Try not to focus on Mr. Beast too much since everyone is talking about him, he's just the latest example of giant game show so felt like I need to mention him. I'm mostly curious how you all feel about large cash prize game shows in general!
(I do love game shows with bs prizes. Bring on Task Master! Win that golden head so you can put it in your garage to be stolen by another contestant! Also Game Changer, go watch game changer. They all get paid regardless of if they win or not and every episode is super creative.)
One side of my back yard is 6 foot vinyl fence post, then the other side and back are chest high chain link fence that are older than me and have concrete blocks under the ground, so would be a giant pain to remove.
Also I looked up and wires were laid right next to the concrete bases. So I "really" do not want to have to remove them.
The fence was installed before I was born, and the wires laid when I was in elementary school. So don't blame me for the silliness of it please.
Would it work if I just removed the panels from between the chain link posts, then slipped the hollow vinyl posts over them, and connected them with the vinyl panels? I would have to buy different distance panels to make it work, but that seems easier than tearing them out, then digging new holes for the new posts.
Or any other suggestions to make it look nice and not have to try and dig large concrete bases that are next to wires out of the ground?
Weird scenario, but I wanna do a treat every hour for 12 hours.
Anyone know of a good feeder or something that can do that? I could buy two 6 slot feeders and have them pick up after each other, but that seems a bit absurd.
I've been in a cooking funk eating the same things all the time, so I decided to give myself a challenge!
2sday! So every Tuesday I will try to eat only 2 dollars worth of food, and have different meals than any previous 2sday! Figured I'd share my misadventures here.
Here is what I ate today and prices! (I used winco which has buckets of stuff you scoop into bags and sells a ton of things by pound.)
Breakfast:
1 cup of Instant Oats @ .98/Pound
small handful dried dates cooked into the oats @ 2.58 per pound
Spoonful of sugar
A biscuit! Made mostly for lunch, but had one here with margarine.
Dates tasted pretty good in the oatmeal! Honestly a cup of dried oats is a lot, but the goal is to get over 2000 calories today, so needed to start off strong!
Lunch:
Biscuits made with just salt, baking powder, and flour mixture, used 1 cup of flour, mix was .60/pound
Chicken gravy made with a table spoon of oil, flour, and broth from bouillon cube. The cubes I have are .28 cents each.
1/4 cup dried split peas that I cooked until tender the day before, then heated up into the gravy. @ .86 per pound
Small amount of fake butter from my fridge. IDK how much I paid for it, but it's a super cheap brand.
Ate 4 of the biscuits smothered in the gravy with butter, and turned out pretty good! Split peas didn't have the exact taste I was looking for since I'm used to sweet peas, but they still added something really good and I probably would just add more to give more heartiness and protein. They're super calorie dense for price so probably could have just used them as a soup along with the biscuits and had a much heartier meal. Or could have added more peas and ditched the bouillon cube in favor of just using salt/pepper for the gravy.
Dinner:
1 cup rice @ .78/pound 1/4 chickpeas @ 1.17/pound 1/2 can hunts seasoned tomato sauce @67 a can
Cooked rice, cooked dry chickpeas during the day, mixed with tomato sauce and salt. It tasted pretty good, nothing creative here.
So the primary goal was calories today! I've watched some youtubers rave about how "filling" budget meals are... that if you do the math are like 200 calories. So wanted to focus on calories. I don't have a digital scale so don't know if I hit the goal of 2 dollars exactly, but napkin math says I was pretty close on one side or the other.
Would love suggestions on any other meals that would be part of a 2k calorie diet and fit into 2 dollar budget!

So imagine this:
you owe X amount of money, and fleeing the country makes it vanish
Or you accidentally are given X amount of money, and fleeing the country is only way to keep it
