Vidding is the fan labor practice in media fandom of creating music videos from the footage of one or more visual media sources, thereby exploring the source itself in a new way. The creator may explore a single character, support a particular romantic pairing between characters, criticize or celebrate the original text, or point out an aspect of the TV show or film that they find under-appreciated which is commonly uploaded to a variety of social media outlets, the more popular being YouTube. The creators refer to themselves as "vidders", their product as "vids", "fanvids", "songvids" or the more recently adopted name "edits" and the act itself as vidding.

— Dunk-a-roos, about 5 pounds’ worth

You may remember these from the early ’90s — packs of kangaroo-shaped cookies with chocolate or vanilla frosting used as a dipping sauce. The fridge had at least 10 different packages of the things, including out-of-print vintage varieties (double fudge cookies with strawberry frosting, for example).

About the Dunk-a-roos, he wrote:

“Don’t know what 2 say about Dunk-a-roos. They’re just good! Sometimes you want a food that is comfortable and takes you back. For me, it’s those crazy little kangaroo crackers.”

It hasn't got six strings, but it's a lot of fun.
When asked about distinctive features of their signing, Black Deaf signers tended to identify a number of idioms borrowed from AAE.[38] Some were literal translations like 🇮 🇫🇪🇪🇱 🇾🇴🇺 or 🇬🇮🇷🇱 🇵🇱🇪🇦🇸🇪 which are signed the standard way but have meanings different from their literal interpretation.[39][40] Other loan words modified existing signs like 🇸🇹🇴🇵 🇹🇷🇮🇵🇵🇮🇳🇬 which took the bent-v handshape of trip and moved it up to the head to indicate a new meaning of "stop imagining things."[41]

yeah i got in an argument about this in grad school

i complained about the majority of technical articles (iirc the one in question was something about a computer graphics technique) having no high-level summary or attempt to explain the topic to non-experts, just masses of unreferenced equations and jargon straight from a textbook.

the guy who i was talking to, a wikipedia editor, argued that anyone who had any business looking up said article should understand the content, and the point was to be an accurate reference, not to "dumb it down for the masses"

which,

as you know,

is the entire point

there's often a big difference between "can tell article is garbage" and "is qualified to improve it"

at least in the case of Wikipedia, where simply deleting garbage rather than adding good content to balance it out is a surefire way to get banned

well (doot-doot-doot-dee-doot-doot-dee-doot) NEWS FLASH: (jaunty music)

when people read an encyclopedia, they are doing so because they want information

usually they want information because they don't already have this information

how the gently caress is someone supposed to improve an article about a topic that they're actively trying to learn by reading the encyclopedia in the first place
