\n — @adurdin is thinking aloud

Plus ça change, plus ç’est la même chose

Via @brainpickings:

1. I’m amazed that I can watch video from 1901 on YouTube. That’s one hundred and ten years old!

2. Oh look, it’s erotic in nature. Well, it’s meant to be titillating at least. Undergarments in 1901 were rather more substantial than many complete outfits these days.

3. You have to sit through a copyright notice at the start of the video. Worse: a copyright and patent notice.
