Can your glorified path-tracer replicate this crunchy, flaky, perfectly aged Parmesan cheese in all of its subsurface-scattery glory?

Twitch 2019: Reaching Levels of Hypocrisy That Should Not Be Possible

Do you know Twitch?

Introduced in June 2011 as a spin-off of the general-interest streaming platform, Justin.tv, the site primarily focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of eSports competitions, in addition to music broadcasts, creative content, and more recently, "in real life" streams.

I... I accidentally (yeah, right!) stumbled upon such an "in real life" stream with almost a million views. And I have to say...

WOW!

Please note: you can safely share this post with your children of all ages, because the stream was marked as "family friendly":

What? You disagree? Come on... Twitch knows best.
Let's check out the official Community Guidelines:

twitch community guidelines regarding  attire

Ooooooh... So it does actually say that "attire (or lack of attire) intended to be sexually suggestive includes undergarments, intimate apparel..."

You're just seeing things, OK?

Trust me, it was surely not "exposing/focusing on male or female genitals". I totally didn't see any "undergarments or intimate apparel" in the video above, and I didn't notice anything even remotely "sexually suggestive".

Oh, Samsung... You Truly Are the Most Laughable Copycat of All Copycats

Upd. Oct 2021: After mocking the Apple iPhone notch in 2017, Samsung decided to... add one to its upcoming Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. No comment required.

Upd. Dec 2020: After mocking Apple some more, Samsung will once again follow suit and will not be bundling chargers and headphones with their phones.

Samsung makes a promise

Let's Make a Joke

Remember this "family"? The one Samsung marketing team created to mock Apple and drive home just how ridiculous the notch was?

Or...

Remember this guy? The one from the ad?

Samsung dongle guy

One who drops the phone into water and has to put it in rice in hopes of helping it dry out and recover — since iPhones back then weren't even remotely waterproof — and also has to use a dongle to have his phone charged and connected to his headphones at the same time? What a loser, right? Samsung phones are where it's at! They have the 3.5mm audio jack! Right?..

Right?
