(Previous Episode: https://voat.co/v/whatever/3237811)
The task: Daily, on or approximately around 8PM EST, identify noteworthy postings on Voat you may have passed by and not seen. Some days may have more, some less. /disclaimer
Bias: Openly my own. Rational. Based on life experiences. Happy to be educated on any and all things.
The objective: To create dialogue. Noteworthy content sometimes doesn’t make the first 4 pages of Voat. This gives that content a second chance, and can kickstart conversation. Overall effort to avoid politics, but not always exempt political views.
Objective feedback always welcome. Links guide to the original user-posted content so you can participate. All topics are in chronological order, top oldest to bottom newest.
-
A follow-up from the accelerationism post from yesterday had a pretty badass side-by side of Huxley vs. Orwell. (Note, this image specifically)
-
Observe and join in on a candid conversation about the overall white vs. blue collar tension in America.
-
China now has a “Frank” like robot bio screen the health of preschoolers in 2,000 schools, every single day.
-
@whysosensitive asks the rather practical question of where to get a Dictionary that hasn’t been.. selectively edited.
-
Road-rage truck guy threatens a driver after running him off the road, gets legally iced. Sheriff in a good ole’ free State explains why threatening someone justifies defending with lethal force. An armed society is a polite society, and armed people don’t generally go around threatening people unless they have a death wish.
-
An FBI agent does a video with a pretty down-to-earth comprehensive guide on how to read body language. Pretty badass and practical.
-
There is some unusual behavior surrounding the release of the Dissenter browser. Including a later post saying Windows is flagging and censoring the browser install. Can independent users please chime in?
-
I’ve never seen a thread get downvoated faster in my life than when someone posted about a Mosque shooting in Broward County. Did you hear about this today?
-
I just found my new favorite parody account. Good form, sir, good form.
-
An important PSA on @Dial_Indicator, including visibility to various recent antics.
-
Just a heads up that the German Minister is bullying Tech Monopolies on message encryption. I find @roznak’s comment especially noteworthy.
-
We’ve now achieved quantum teleportation (superimposition) up to a range of 25KM through optical-fiber cables. This shit will seriously unlock space travel for the Human species.
-
Friendly reminder, Rottentomatoes has quietly removed their downvote function. Uh oh.
-
A very important question about .357 Mag vs. .44 Mag. Obviously a Coonan in .357 Magnum is the correct answer, but I’ll settle for a Desert Eagle so I can chamber it in both + .50 AE.
Too many? Too few? Questions, concerns, complaints with the format?
Slow “not-news” day, everything was so political. Here is as political as I think you should be if you want some good old fashioned rage-comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH7iQsSs3Do

How long does this take to compile?

I think it could be semi-automated, but right now I'm choosing to do the entire thing by hand. Of the 4 days so far, the one with the longest content was done in approximately 2 hours, the others with less content too much longer.
In other words, because it follows a set of rules that is legitimately dependent on two extremely elastic variables (user-submitted daily content and user-chosen interaction ratio) the time is all over the place.
