It was on Reddit a few years ago. Someone casted porn to a tv and the staff was desperately trying to cover it up. Sorry if no NSFW is allowed here. I don't know how to tag NSFW.

[SOLVED] Looking for a movie title

I am looking for a movie, late 90s to late aughts. What I remember is a press junket for a fictional movie in some hotel and the chaos around it. One specific thing I remember is the director in the movie buying the Unabomber's shack to complete the movie.

Muta's Deep Dive: The Kid Who Went to Albania for TikTok Fame and Couldn't Leave

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/22421335 > I'm having trouble recalling the title of the video where the content creator Muta (SomeOrdinaryGamers) did an in-depth analysis (Deep Dive) of the kid (think his name is Miles) who traveled to Albania for some TikTok video because of (the word called I can’t remember what it’s called, where when students take a break from their education to take a little vacation), and that leads him to be unable to leave the county. I could be wrong about if it’s actually Albanian. I can't seem to locate it, and it's for my personal study. I could also be wrong and I’m sorry if that’s the case, I must have misunderstood and this is probably a Mandela effect. > > **Sorry if this isn’t the correct community. The creator doesn’t have a community on lemmy. **

Looking for a movie title, probably from the 90s

Only thing I remember about the movie was the scene where a woman (probably brunette) was sitting in an open space office with her legs on a desk reading a magazine. Her boss sees her from across the office and makes the sour face. He wants her to get back to work. So, the woman sits straight and starts typing on a keyboard ironically (waving her hands in the air and tilting her head).

Help me find the name of a movie

SOLVED : Movie name is Idiocracy I only remember one scene which I saw on youtube years ago. It's a science fiction movie. The character is in a futuristic prison, where he just arrived. The guards are asking him his name. He is asked to put his hand into a machine where his name/number will be tattoed on. He answers something else and that gets tattoed on his arm. I first thought it was Total Recall, but it doesn't seem so.

Book, maybe about a child losing a cat

My memory of this is super vague and might even be mixing multiple books. When I was a kid, I had a book that I *think* was a short story anthology, but the stories might have been from multiple books. (Sorry for the uncertainty.) I've been trying to figure out what this book is, on and off, for years because I keep mentioning it and no one knows it. One of the short stories is absolutely [Taily Po](https://www.scaryforkids.com/tailypo/), though perhaps a sanitized version of it. I remember being very proud of the voice I made up for the original owner of the Taily Po as I read the story to my mother while we drove around. Another is about a girl who died, or perhaps was murdered, then came back to life. My only memory of that is that, when the girl was resurrected, she said she became very familiar with needles because your consciousness was retained by your body even after you passed. In the story, she used this familiarity with needles to paralyze (I think) her murderer without him noticing the injection. As a child, the idea horrified me for a while, mainly due to the concept of being buried while conscious ... Though the girl described her autopsy (which I guess is how she learned about needles) and that sounded pretty awful as well. In case it helps, I think this revelation came about when the murderer was sitting in the front seat of a truck and, unbeknownst to him, the girl was in the back seat. An ally of hers was driving the truck. It's also possible the girl was a zombie rather than being brought back to life. Finally, with almost no plot details I can recall, there was a story about a kid losing their cat. I believe the cat came back to life but with malice, similar to Pet Sematary, which I didn't hear of until decades later. On the cover of the book - and my main memory of it, other than the location where I sat while I read it - the cat was depicted floating upside down outside of (presumably) the kid's bedroom window. From memory and possibly inaccurate, the cover of the book was mostly purple; the cat was floating outside of a window with a golden frame, centered in the image; and the night sky beyond was fairly typical, though I remember it having a greenish tinge. Everything was somewhat cartoonish in depiction. The cat was a calico and, again, upside down. Typing this out, these all feel like very different tones for stories, so it was probably at least two different books, if not three. The main one I've been trying to remember is the one with the cat, but I'd welcome any insight on the two that aren't Taily Po. Thank you in advance!

[TOMT][CARTOON/ANIME][1980s-2000s] Probably western, hardly American, about a witch who kidnaps a boy's crush and turns a frog into a copy of her (the boy's crush) to trick him

What I'm pretty sure that happens: The witch kidnaps the boy's romantic interest, turns a frog into a copy of the girl (who engages in suspicious behavior, such as eating flies), to trick the boy who invaded the witch's castle to rescue the romantic interest. What I'm not so sure that happens: I believe that is explicit that the whole situation is happening in the boy's imagination, in a [Mona: The Vampire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_the_Vampire) style. I believe the boy's relationship with the girl is platonic. I cannot remembers if is a short or long movie, or an episode from a series. I watched it dubbed into Portuguese, between 2006-2011, replayed a few times, on one of the following Brazilian television networks: TV Cultura, TV Escola or TV Futura. From my memory, the animation style was Western, but it could be an Anime. It is possibly a European animation and more possibly from Eastern Europe, because at this time TV Cultura showed a lot of animations from the 80s from those places. I find it difficult to be American because of my difficulty in finding anything about it and because American animations were not common on these channels at that time.

You see something similar in the entranceway to public bathrooms that don't have doors, where it kind of zig-zags for privacy. I'm trying to figure out what this kind of architectural feature is called. Thanks!

[Solved!] Need help finding a video meme

Edit: solved! https://youtu.be/VVQz6jE3X50?si=qkItmXh5HbkKpZ8x So it's somewhat old, as far as video memes are concerned. I think it was a vine. There is one guy in frame. There is a high pitched tone playing. Maybe a fire alarm or something. The guy says something like "hey does anyone hear that? Kinda sounds like aaaaaaAAAAAA". He attempts to mimic the obnoxious sound, too low of a pitch at first, but adjusts upwards to nearly match it right as the video ends. He holds his arm up with his hand horizontal as if to describe the pitch of the sound as he tries. All of this is only maybe 5-6 seconds long. I cannot find it. I have searched high and low. Google has failed me, or rather my googling skills have failed me.

Old creepy YouTube video

This one has been bugging me for years I’ve watched this video I’ve seen people talk about it and make theories about it but I got nothing Here’s all I remember The start was a black screen with text saying something similar to “In (some year) a tape was found on a little planet called earth the following footage you’re about to see has nothing to do with that tape” It then cut to what appearers to be a children’s cartoon but it quickly turns into static with screaming and distorted colors and the music ramps up before ending. I think the title was something like antamon contency. The theory I watched about it mentioned whatever the first word of the title was shared a name with a comet that passes by earth or something similar. Any idea what this video could have been?

Video where YouTuber intentionally makes a very lazy “reaction” video to make a point about copyright.

In my head this was Ian Kung, but I can’t find it on his channel. The creator was trying to make a point about how broken copyright enforcement is on YouTube by basically watching cool videos and “reacting” by saying the same thing after each one loosely tailored to the content. They were all based around the phrase “my wife” or something like that. Like “wow, what a cute lazy dog. It’s almost as lazy as my wife,” “if you think that’s a big whale, you should meet my wife,” or something to that effect.

He says something like "wow a coin" and then starts talking and moving in slow motion. Another man appears and says "Oh youre stuck in slow time? Its because George Washington cursed that coin, there is nothing you can do, you're fucked!" Meanwhile slowmo guy is still slowly talking and looking confused. The coin was either a dime, a quarter, or a silver dollar.

Short story about space zombies

I'm trying to find a sci-fi short story. Unfortunately, I do not remember anything about the author or title. It is at least a decade or two old, available for free online. The entire story is set aboard a starship in deep space, and everyone has advanced technology (nanomachines?) that can repair tissue damage that would normally be deadly. Unfortunately, the ship is hit by a massive radiation burst, nearly killing everyone aboard, causing all kinds of damage, and contaminating much of what's left. Somehow, the worst affected have massive brain damage, and the nanomachines are driving them to instinctively seek raw materials for repairs--which can only be found in the brains of relatively intact survivors. In short, the whole setup is basically an excuse to have space zombies. The nanomachines keep them alive even when their organs are falling out, but they're dumb and slow and they want braaaaains. Other things I remember: * The protagonist is female, and was protected by the initial burst because she was working inside a large water tank. * The protagonist is trying to help her romantic partner, who is comatose, but it's implied they might wake up as a zombie. * The protagonist is trying to avoid killing the zombies when possible, because there is still a chance of curing them. * The protagonist is looking for raw materials that aren't radiation-contaminated, to help her partner and repair the ship.

[SOLVED] {TV series or movie unsure] two characters act out scene from Empire Strikes Back for young children

I think I saw this in a youtube video taken out of context so I'm not exactly sure when it was made, or if it was a TV show or a movie. And while it could obviously be from any time after 1980 because it references Empire Strikes Back it felt 21st century to me. It seems to be a future post-apocalyptic setting, the power isn't on, everyone's dressed in rags, there's scavenging etc. and in a moment of down time two of the main characters act out the lightsaber duel from Empire Strikes Back to entertain the young children who live there, and the kids gasp at the "I am your father" bit. What's this from?

Trying to find an old commercial

Probably around fifteen years ago, I saw a commercial set to - I think - the "Trololo" song (or, if not, a classical song). I think it was a commercial for M&Ms, but it was at least for a similar candy - lots of small bits in a candy shell. The candies were CGI and bouncing in time with the music in a sort of liquid fashion. I haven't been able to find this commercial since! Sorry for the vagueness. It was a long time ago.

[TOMT][YOUTUBE][2012] Minecraft channel featuring my chemistry teacher

So my chemistry teacher went on a tangent in one of our lessons, and started telling us a bit about a Minecraft channel he was a part of in 2012. At its peak, the channel had either 10K subs or 10K views, but the videos were all set to private when YouTube introduced stricter copyright rules. He implied that he was challenging anyone interested to try and find the channel. The channel itself was run by somebody else, who was not named but apparently used to work for NVIDIA before leaving to work as a kernel dev at ARM. The same guy, at some point, ran a small WoW server on one of my institution's dedicated servers. The server and the channel would have been based in Northumberland, United Kingdom; and the players would have had northern, Geordie, Northumbrian, or Yorkshire accents. I will not be naming my teacher, as he said that his name wasn't anywhere on the channel or in the videos; and I would prefer not to disclose the name of my institution to protect whatever's left to protect about my identity. Does anyone know anything, or am I going to have to put my Sherlock Holmes hat on?
