Quote from: flotemysost on December 02, 2021, 08:35:50 PMMy favourite of these is Peter Kay Is So Skinny Now And Looks Gorgeous, We Can't Stop Staring. I know there's a few variations on that template, but the idea of someone actually being so transfixed by a newly lissom Peter Kay that they can't tear their gaze away, walking into lampposts and through traffic, mesmerised, just really tickles me.

Can't find it now but I saw one a few years ago that said something like "10 celebrity drug transformations that will shock you" with a photo of Chris O'Dowd next to a photo of Shane MacGowan.

I saw one of these once that said "why you should always put a plastic bottle on your car tyre when parked". I didn't click the link but checked snopes and apparently the link takes you to a car maintenance tips page that doesn't even mention a plastic bottle on the tyre. I can only assume that most of these click bait ads work in a similar bait and switch manner.

It's interesting how many "reputable" media outlets make money from these bullshit clickbait ads at the bottom of their stories. I suppose it's a reflection of how difficult it is for much of the media to make money.

Why can't they just say you have to watch X amount of adverts to watch/read Y amount of content? Wouldn't that make far more sense as a system? Then you wouldn't have to piss about with ad blockers

Is that so it doesn't roll back if you've forgotten to put the handbrake on or something? I don't get why you'd put a bottle there.

An empty or full plastic bottle on a tyre isn't going to stop you rolling back. It was just a bit of bait and switch internet rubbish. A load of fiddlesticks and flap doodle.

I clicked through those 72 slides a few weeks ago and confirm the bottle wedged in tire was missing. Googled and ended up on that snopes page. I did find r/savedyouaclick which summarizes clickbaits.

72 uses for pool noodles is a good one though. It seems they have resilient properties in adition to flotation so you can fuck pad things with them.

Is the bottle on the tyre so the clampers have to remove the bottle to put the clamp on, and them removing the bottle means they've tampered with your property meaning they acted illegally, or something?

Clampers hate her for using this one weird trick to avoid parking tickets. But they can't stop her!

So, is this a television person or something?

Holly Willoughby, a chainsaw and Philip Schofield's skin. The life hack that is leaving unsuspecting travellers in bits.

The general public thought that prince Phillip was dead, but on the day of his funeral they discovered that he was staying alive by using this one weird trick. Coroners hate him!

Yep I saw a similar one about putting a cardboard toilet roll under the toilet seat or something, but in the actual article there was no mention of said 'hack'. And even when there actually is they're still frequently ridiculous, "Why Mums are gluing pennies to their kid's shoes" eventually reveals they're doing so to stop them skidding on ice, although no one is actually doing this and even if they were it wouldn't work.

My new favourite clickbait is this YouTube channel's thumbnails which disguise some pretty pedestrian and unexciting recipes by showing stuff like beer being poured onto a stack of raw chicken thighs in a tiny pan:

It's like the voice of the ship's computer in some video game or other. "WARNING WARNING: toilet paper supply is running critically low"

Psybro

I watched twenty seconds of one of those and enjoyed the contrast between the quiet, soothing female voice and the chopping/grating being apparently captured by a mic inside the knife itself turned up to 20.

It makes me sad when YouTubers I like such as Ryan George use shitty thumbnails for algorithm purposes which are obscure to me, but I guess it's like how I was sure I'd hate The Inbetweeners based on the obnoxious C4 trailers and bookending segments.
