Is the algorithm even DUMBER than we thought?

0:00 - Facebook keeps populating my feed with some woman dancing in her undies and I'm not sure why

7:04 PMLee Showron​Well I never seen this before

7:10 PMCafeFox​it was me lol

7:12 PMCafeFox​Like 80% of the stuff I watch on YouTube is gaming related, and never see any of the stuff you're talking about

7:13 PMCafeFox​I also rarely interact with video other than watch them

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello all, Tears of the Kingdom is amazing! As I’m sure you all know.

7:15 PMLee Showron​I haven’t played it yet

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​I’ll be around for the stream.

7:16 PMSheekago​But Tears of the Kingdom is over $50

7:17 PMJared Knisely​IM currently playing it

7:17 PMaddictedtochaos​And make wildly inappropriate things, lol. Some things people have made using ultrahand are hilarious.

7:18 PMSheekago​I started last night, but paused to beat Breath of the Wild (for the second time) earlier today

7:18 PMSheekago​Woah, that's nice of Jared

7:19 PMaddictedtochaos​Yes, there are limitations.

7:20 PMSheekago​I'm going to glue a rocket to my shield and go Iron man

7:20 PMaddictedtochaos​I did fuse a mine cart to my sword.

7:21 PMJared Knisely​so i chip in

7:26 PMaddictedtochaos​Accidentally just chucked a Korok off a mountain.

7:28 PMJared Knisely​i attached one to a log and floated it down the river

7:29 PMLee Showron​Oh wow

7:30 PMLee Showron​Yeah I’m not interested in them movies. They have cartoon series of them movies

7:34 PMLee Showron​They killed dog in old yeller. So they do

7:40 PMLee Showron​Like Jaws?

7:50 PMLee Showron​Even though people are misinformed about piranha. They won’t bite humans. They are scared of them. So they stay away from humans as much as possible

7:51 PMLee Showron​I never understood why movies make piranhas dangerous when they won’t harm a human unless they feel threatened

7:52 PMCafeFox​A lot of animals in films are shown to be more dangerous than they really are ...because entertainment

7:56 PMofficialMX​hello peeps

8:00 PMCyberian_Tiger​Hello

8:00 PMCyberian_Tiger​I can understand those small things really do add up .

8:01 PMCyberian_Tiger​I do find it odd that Nintendo did a direct sequal. They haven't done that in a long while, not since Majora's mask if I'm not misking.

8:02 PMCafeFox​I believe link between worlds is a sequel to link to the past

8:02 PMCafeFox​not a direct one, but yeah
