Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

What the hell has happened to policing?! They used to invent crime skeletons. And now? Nothing.

Two things. People used to be insanely superstitious and many still are.

Second, nowadays almost everyone has seen an X-Ray but they were still rare for the public in 1930. People only saw bones in cemeteries so it was associated with death. (When Röntgen took one of the first X-ray pictures of his wife’s hand, it’s said she fainted as it was like seeing her own corpse.)

I’m not superstitious, but if I woke up in a dark room with a skeleton with glowing red eyes telling me to confess my sins…

Maybe add a fog machine and voice distortion.

Have the skeleton be rigged by Amalgamated Dynamics and I’ll confess to every single thing

No, crime skeleton was a good one. That’s why it’s no longer on the force.

I wonder if people actually fell for it or if it was too janky to fool them
