Also I’m gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me

        congratulations on being one of today’s lucky ten thousand! (which is itself a memetic reference to “even if almost everybody knew about something, there’s still probably always at least ten thousand people every day hearing about it for the first time”)

        The Wadsworth Constant is not really a constant, but just an observed colloquial phenomenon called out by a dude who used the social media handle ‘wadsworth’ forever ago: it just seemed at the time as though you could skip the first 30% of any given youtube video and not really miss terribly much critical info because that block of time was often filled up with greeting, intro, sponsors, etc and a rehashing of the initial query. if you just hit ‘3’ on your keyboard to skip 30% of the way in, you’d “usually” get what you clicked on the video for (if it’s even in the video at all and it’s not just clickbait trash).
