I find it interesting how fast this thread literally became "who can rick-roll the most people."

Just a potential idea for the posting games...

I see you stole my video lol It's ok dw ; )

Lol I actually created it, how long until they take it down. I think 30 minutes.

Stop rickrolling people... It would be nice if Youtube put video titles in the url...

That could prove problematic, since it is possible to have a link to a video before it has a title. And, if the video's title changes, that would either render all existing links dead, or the title would no longer match the URL, rendering the same situation by a different method.

I remember Tom Scott discussed this topic before...

TL;DW: The reason why YouTube links are not made with phrases or sequential numbering is to prevent people from punching any sequence of numbers or strings into the URL which then could subsequently lead to other videos. Otherwise, this can be used as an exploit as now videos that were unlisted, videos that were never meant to be publicized, can suddenly become leaked.

The BBCode for embedding YouTube videos intentionally rewrites the provided URL from its video ID to prevent creating iframes of non-YouTube pages.

I don't know where to put this, but I just had a random idea: What about a future trial event or real event related to quantum mechanics? Maybe conceptual-only or something. Thoughts?

Dredging this up because it was buried in all the rickrolls...

I think I replied to this?

Anyhow, I think this a good idea with a good concept in mind, but it would be hard for most teams to get good participants for it, and the scores for like the top teams would be like 25%. Also, more of a question to put into 2020-2021 events, so I'll pull it in there.

Actually, I'm sure most teams have a couple quantum physics nerds on them. I know we have at least 2, probably 3.

I'm randomly pondering again: What's new (and popular) in YA fiction these days? I have no clue whether the genre is in a slump or if I'm just getting old and out of touch, as I'm not familiar with anything since Hunger Games. I think I asked this on IRC awhile ago and no one there/then could name much of anything either.

All of mine lead to a video that looks like one of y'all's, but mine are not falsely claimed to be related...
