  Alright so slight update on the &quot;Bread Vampires&quot; image, huge thank you to Majeko over on Bluesky for letting me know about this. They managed to find an article (<a href="https://www.infobaza.by/agriculture/5164.html">https://www.infobaza.by/agriculture/5164.html</a> ) which has not only the identities of the guys in the photo (they&apos;re just politicians), BUT it also confirms that they were there to promote a new &quot;Italian bread&quot; that the factory was making. The factory is also Mogilevkhlebprom, not Minsklebprom, so all that stuff I said about it was unfortunately misinfo. In my defense though, trying to find info on foreign images like this is really hard due to how Google works, as it shows you search results based on your location. Not speaking Russian also doesn&apos;t help, like I said in the video. I could probably get a VPN or something to remedy this which I will be looking into when I have the time<br><br>Anyway that&apos;s pretty much it, basically just have confirmation that the new info I found at the end of that segment is relatively correct, and I got the factory name wrong. Aside from that though, most of what I said is still true. The image is from 2012, it&apos;s Belarusian, and the photo was meant to promote something. Just got a couple details wrong unfortunately. Huge thank you again to Majeko for bringing this to my attention!

  The Unwanted House Guest section unlocked an extremely autistic memory of me printing out Rage Comics and taking them to school to show my friends when I was 10

  I speak russian and I found out the man on the right on the bread vampires photo is belarusian politician named Mikhail Ivanovich Rusy (Михаил Иванович Русый) I hope that helps!

  blocking search results info behind a paywall is a whole new level of disgusting<br>also &quot;I just like it&quot; is an amazing reason to cover an image in a video and I&apos;ll be here to watch every single one

  I miss the days when people used to be very creative and weird when they&apos;re taking photos of themselves. then you had people on the internet to Photoshop the photos to look uncanny as Fuck, like something out of acid dream.

  Giving your child a shirt that says “dick the birthday boy” was a choice

  The hot dog man and burger man looks like a weird painting you’d see in a thrift store for some reason

  It should be noted that on tumblr you are able to change your account name and it will (at least partially) retroactively change all your other posts to have the same username. Also you are able to edit text on a post without it changing any posting dates or leaving an (edited) upon it, in fact due to this, two version of a post can exist, a pre and post edited version (though often if you go back to the original it will change it to the edited one)
