welcome to gmfarcaster bringing you everything from breaking news to spicy memes to the deep lure shaping this vibrant digital community more than just a show gmfarcaster is your digital third space where the community connects the stories unfold and the culture thrives whether you're a daily caster or just dropping by we've got latest buzz to keep you plugged in so grab your coffee and let's dive in with your hosts nounish prof and adrienne for another episode of gmfarcaster
gmfarcaster it is monday july 7 and you are here with nounish prof and adrienne for twenty nine minutes of farcaster news to start your day and we might go a little long we might go a little short because we who knows we everything could collapse at any minute and we might not have wi fi
wanna hear something funny yeah totally okay so as we know the the process of alerting people when we go live on the mini app is still a manual thing
yeah
so i still am pressing a button to tell people we also have a three minute cache on our mini app
oh right
of the latest video longer story so that means i'm checking to see if the mini app when the mini app says we're live now yeah which should be within three minutes of when we actually go live right so right now it's two minutes and fifty seven seconds it still show like right now i'm looking at our mini app it's still showing our
so you're waiting for it to show
the live oh so this is not the funny story this is just the background to the funny story so i go on to our mini app and our last video is tagged with altered it's like got a big like disclaimer from youtube that says altered or synthetic content they think we're ai so then i was like learn more so i go to like why you know like what is it and it is like you know for disclosure you're supposed to tell people if you're using no i have to read this whole thing so this is new to me
oh did we check out something by accident or something
i don't know no i just i just looked at the very first thing oh does digitally oh never mind i'm complete the first thing on the list says applying beauty filters
and guilty i don't know if you know this but our streamyard lets you like choose like how much of a subtle i like how much filtering you want on your face and i don't like to wear makeup so i like add a little subtle filter and i'm like are that but i just and i'm sorry now because i realized i read it wrong it says it doesn't require disclosure but if you're digitally generating or altering content yeah this is they think we're ai
they think we're ai alright we need this is bullshit human proof of human youtube i'm really upset now and that's alright so we have to make sure you know sometimes you check things off when you load up youtube so it's possible i checked off something by accident that said it's altered content but i'll i'll double check that
no we're live we're real people okay yeah z k youtube we when when's z k for for youtube there you go i don't know where are you when we need you alright let's dive in to the very important things that were happening on farcaster last week dan found birding and so therefore all of us did so okay okay so dan's dan's birding somewhere
and this was from dwr why didn't anyone tell me that birding is like pokemon for people who enjoy the woods enjoy the woods okay this is so funny but the funnier part was varun's reactions were hilarious and this is these can you can someone start a polymarket for dan getting into woodworking next so funny and then this was also a favorite of mine he asked gpt chat gpt my cofounder is suddenly tweeting pictures of birds and clouds every few hours should i be concerned evaluating cofounder behavior the user is worried about their cofounder frequently cheating pictures of birds and clouds and they're wondering if they should be concerned the behavior could be stress relief there you go personal interest or potential sign of mental health issues like i'm manic at this phone it's worth considering whether it's a temporary habit or a bigger shift in their behavior i think i should it it should offer a brief reassuring response and encourage a conversation to get clarification around the changes that i lost it when i saw that that was so funny just so so funny and by the way here was the clouds part of this equation the clouds were also funny the birds were a little more enjoyable but dan also did talk about some clouds in particular cumulus congestus i was walked the other day so there you go but this was just absolutely hilarious and people followed suit here is will warren from bird is the word portland maine with linda there you go and then he had a few of them actually there was a couple here i think yeah there's another one so we had some birds there everyone started sharing birds so there we go lots of birds
things got weird things get weird when people go on vacation and i did like this brad q with the new app update looks great on my phone probably looks amazing in liquid glass
that's really funny so we're getting rid of the arch adding a bird and we'll be the new bird app i don't know something to that
could work
yeah just this week so while i was on my vacay you know i hear we we like birds and clouds now so i thought i'd throw some up there i went sailing took some pictures and i also was down by the cape cod canal so there's some there's some birds took some pictures of
the birds
so funny and then you were gardening but also before that then there were then everyone quick t t w b casted quick founders and bird people are asleep post bunnies you posted some bunnies everyone
started posting bunnies there's no way we are getting rid of the christian wrap it's just not happening not after this week absolutely not it's not possible
right and just to virgin birds and bunnies are very literal right like it's not code for something else it's just it's just animals
yes if you're only listening to this please go watch it so that you can see the actual birds bunnies and clouds this is not like some kind of code we're not talking about nfts actual animals in the wild in nature and gardens so you did this big garden photo dump and then showed everything you made and it was lovely went through your whole process this was beautiful and all the different prep and everything so that was really cool so go check that out this link will be in the show notes but you can check out adrienne's
what cooking it's lovely
what didn't you post
i noticed that
i was like guard was weeding gardening cooking all day like had the best time and i was posting updates and photos not video it is my protest
you're protesting the video content mhmm okay i've been posting video content i've been posting more of it i was posting my sailing i posted from there it was lovely i did a i did a a canal and canal and talk i was walking along the cape cod canal did a little canal and talk
yep and that is why you will be higher on the leaderboard than me the algo gods will will look upon you very fondly
this is the worst i've ever been on the leaderboard which i think is good since i was on vacation i since that's a good yeah i think that's fine i'm like at 200 and something which i've never been i don't know that i've ever been over a 100 or not much over a 100 so that was interesting but lovely absolutely lovely look at that garden you're out there gardening and all kinds of cool things and then we had logadog this is important important news logadog season's back season two the internet's summer hot dog eating competition so you upload your selfies while you're eating a hot dog and then you can actually if you own any dollar sign hot dog you can upvote or downvote photos that people post and i was downvoting so many because guys it says log a dog you need to be eating a hot dog what part of this do you not understand like doesn't say post your dog like your pet it doesn't say post random photo of you doing anything else but eating a hot dog or random meme like no just hot dogs just hot dogs k rant over but i swear i just spent most time downloading things like down
dog are you eating the hot dog then no you're supposed be eating the hot dog it's very important rules to to pay attention to but really fun fun this is from mike our friend mike very fun go check it out it's a fun little summer summer thing all rules and regulations are clearly posted exactly mike like how hard is it how hard is it
have you met have you met crypto people this is why we have smart con this is why we have smart contracts that enforce rules because we're not gonna read the rules i
know like just just read the rules speaking of rules 10 k word count perfect use case
for pro subscribers you have a 10 k word count so you can do long form content on farcaster adrienne has long been an opponent of long form content on farcaster but would you agree that being able to post the whole entire declaration of independence on july 4 is a good use case of the 10 k content there you go i do but you can't read that you can't read that but you can read this
i do and i typically don't love the like i'm copying content someone else's content and just posting it on my feed however i will make an exception for the declaration of independence because i probably think people haven't read it even though you could and so it's it's a nice it's a nice push to people so well done
exactly also sometimes it triggers people because they think you're talking about somebody in particular but you're not which is i always find very amusing
starts with when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and it goes on to like yeah it's an indictment of king george in particular so it's it's kinda funny but i i personally have always had since college i've had a pocket constitution that i normally i do not have it with me on vacation which is unusual because i usually have it in all my bags and in there is also the declaration of independence so this is like something i often read go through think about i'm i'm a nerd in that way very much so so there you go so of course i'm gonna post this
i feel like a trivia question should be which everyone should guess but like of the two gmfarcaster cohosts who has a pocket constitution
who owns a pocket constitution by the way i've given them out to all my students when i used to teach my law class every semester i would buy them and hand them out to them so that they had them and i used to joke you know for when you're out at the bar and you start having a conversation about the first amendment and someone misquotes it you'll be ready with your pocket constitution and the funniest thing was when one of my students came up to me in the hallway one day and went i know you were joking but i actually had it with me at the bar
that's awesome that is so awesome so there you go so if you're wanted to read the us declaration of independence go check the show notes after the show it will be there for you to give a read alright we have a few other things to get into but before we do that two things love it odd job love it
so this this month starting today with today's episode when we post it on pods.media you'll be able to earn a degen reward and we'll be doing some other podcasts as well so as we see things pop up each day if we're not on we're going to be doing the same and sponsoring other podcasts as well so look for that and we'll be posting which ones we are sponsoring so if you mint today's episode you'll be able to if you're like the first 50 people or so you'll be able to claim some degen rewards and thank you yasek and team for that and also this week we do have trivia coming back on wednesday and i think we're changing up what the topic's gonna be so stay tuned for that i have to confirm which one we are going with for this week and we'll let you know but we'll let you know on wednesday morning all the details so you'll be ready for the game so go get signed up there is a 100 k degen 100 k degen do you realize you could have bought eight you could have bought six boxes of girl scout cookies with that had a little leftover at one point so a 100 k degen $336 it might even be more right now i'm not sure degen was making some moves that'll be on the line to win so come play with us it's gonna be really fun okay now i gotta shift gears into like more newsy news things because we have some other stuff going on but i didn't wanna share i'm like i'm moving things around and trying to deal with like what the wi fi and memory situation is with my computer right now to make sure we don't lose you so we have a few
so far so good far so good alright i have to open these that's what it is so far so good but let's see let's see how we do because we do have a few things the team was very quiet last week so it was very quiet on farcaster people were like where is everybody everyone took a vacation and they were out birding and looking at bunnies and in their gardens and eating hot dogs so that's where everybody was last week but there was a few things going on one of the things which i didn't pull but i'll tell you about is that there is now a love island channel on farcaster thank you adrienne for your assistance in getting that done so if you're watching love island there's only one more week left jump in the channel share what you're share share your thoughts share your ranting share your memes about love island i watched it with my i have made my cousin watch it last night and she was like this is so dumb i'm like yeah i know she's like but now i
she's like oh and i and she saw a meme this morning on facebook or something she's like oh and now i understand that video like see
helping you with culture so yeah so there you go come in come in to the love island channel i've only got we've only got one week left don't worry don't worry people
it's almost over i still have virgin eyes and an uncorrupted love island i've i've seen zero
it's okay
i think that's okay that's okay once you once you go down
for you though
so happy for you i love that for you that's what i was looking for this from v okay some farcaster news psa if your cast are showing up under show more replies the most common reason is that you are posting in a channel and the channel owner has restricted who can reply you have two options one ask the channel owner to add you as a member two don't post in the channel and then your replies won't be hidden that was interesting so i wasn't thinking about that aspect of it so that is good to know second psa if you have reply filtering set too high the algorithm will only show you replies that you are likely to be interested in if you wanna see a lot more replies consider changing it to medium that's what i use and that's the default setting when new users join today so i was having a hard time finding this setting because i think i needed to update my app and then it showed up so if for some reason you're like i don't know where to set this reply filter you might just need to update or go on the web it might be easier to find there so what are you are you setting your
have you changed it at all
it was at high for me and then i had to go in and shift it if high is default that's
i think high is the default for anyone who was already on and anyone new coming in medium is now the default so may wanna make some adjustments alright see what happens but it was helping to see a few more replies than normal so that was good this also from v control your experience on farcaster we've added three new filtering options for notifications replies and channels you can pick the lowest setting if you don't wanna miss a thing or the higher settings if you're overwhelmed with notifications and want us to filter out the most important updates for you try these out today settings notifications settings feed and settings channel manage who can cast so that gives you a lot of customization to your feed and that to me is like i think the most important thing is like make the feed what you want it to be and that way you don't have to whine about stuff you don't wanna see if you don't for some reason you're weird and you don't wanna see dog content you know feel free to mute bert but do so at your peril is what i would say personally i have notifications on your call but you know you do you and this also from vee because literally dan is only posting birds and clouds last week so the only updates we have are from vee weekly rewards are meant to support creators who spend their time and energy creating and engaging content on farcaster we've seen some accounts try to trick the algo by coordinating engagement and redirect rewards towards low effort or uninteresting content we're making changes to fix this one the algo will reward diverse weekly engagement if you get two likes from different people they'll give you more points than two likes from the same person two the algo may reduce or eliminate points from some accounts based on heuristics engaging with spammy accounts only with a particular account in time patterns that suggest coordination etcetera these changes will roll out on tuesday this was last tuesday for more details on how rewards work see the pages below so you can go to the notion if you wanna really dig in and learn more about how rewards are determined
and i don't know if that's affecting i don't think that's affect i think it's just me being less casting a lot less as to why my my number's down but it's just i think it's just because i'm casting a lot less this week why isn't this opening for me okay hold on
this one isn't opening i'm just trying to get this one open come on i'm just hoping we stay we stay on we stay on long enough
it came on and then it disappeared to me again why is it going away come on you can do it i know you can so base on chain summer is starting so that's what this is and next wednesday they're going to be doing a big event in la they're going to be doing some streaming as well i did reach out to jesse on xmtp's chat on coinbase wallet beta and we're trying to either get him or somebody from the team to come on and talk about all the new updates and everything they're doing in on chain summer so hopefully we'll be able to do that i do need to get in there and play with this on chain summer billboard thing and add our customizations to it so i haven't had a chance to do that so this is from base on chain summer is heating up it belongs to everyone and the brand is yours to build with remix the visuals and make your own mark and they did give you a figma to play around with so we should do that and play around with it make a little gmfarcaster one it would be so fun this from octant they just finished up their artist and designer competition this community never fails to amaze us a 173 designers showed up to make ethereum look as good as it works we're reviewing all the entries with the respective teams with so much love right now winners announced july 8 so tomorrow thank you for caring fam so that's awesome great to see that and hopefully we'll have some winners to share on wednesday and this also from octant which i love you octant but this would have been great three months ago
would have been phenomenal to have three months ago octant explained so this is an octant one zero one what is octant why choose octant and how does octant work so you can go check this out from the octant account in the octant channel so there you go if you're more like i thought you guys have been talking about octant but we didn't know what it what it is now you do now you can go check that out so
very cool yeah and also if you were a founder you should also have a one pager mhmm like have your one pager that's just what are you and what are you doing i mean it's like the classic stuff and so go make that and share it
we have a one pager we kinda do we have a media kit
oh that's right we do have one never mind keep going oops is this where i wanna go next yeah i wanna go to this one next so this was so funny did you see the hot or not president's hot or not
oh my goodness okay i alright i saw linda post it and i was like okay definitely need to come back and watch this so this is really didn't and then i saw you pull it and can we get volume on and watch it or is it
i gotta change it up
i'd have to change it up but this is the app this is like the mini app and it's so it's hot or not and it's so funny like so abraham lincoln hot or not i'm going you know hot but it's so funny because in my head i'm also making comments like yeah fourscore and very hot things like that mhmm and i i i can't help myself i'm going mm-mm we're moving along we're just gonna move along really quick here on this one you
know i give the vp i give i give
not bad not bad i give him a i give him a hot herbert hoover definitely not no no put us in the great depression some some time some people were saying like like okay ulysses s grant the last time i checked this was way up there does everyone understand he was not good he was not a good president great general great general not hot
not hot are you conflating hotness hotness with competence and integrity and values and being a good person and being a or a good president and being hot
yes i am i'm very much doing that like there are other instructions i know i'm not following instructions i am very much like looking at this in a broader perspective the same as i look at any any you know type of type of man i'm like there's more to you than just the looks actually the hotness about this
we were talking about this on the feed recently that beauty comes from within like it's how
and we were worried that this next generation where everything is so performative and on social media and there's filters for everything like and you're people need to be reminded that actually like hotness comes from within yeah it's so
that's what i'm saying so william henry harrison the man couldn't put a coat on i mean come on he was only president for like a second caramucci that's funny really funny yeah like i can't i can't with this guy he couldn't put a coat on he's also not hot he's not hot either but he did have a lot of money hannibal hamlin i didn't even know who that was but how funny are the comments it rubs the lotion on its skin
i do know that yeah i do know that
so somehow less attractive than the other george clinton the other george clinton i would give hot one not not hot not hot okay we could do this all day but we're gonna move on also not hot for many reasons okay so that was really funny go check out the video too as well but go play the game it's kinda fun and this from katekornish this is amazing and i'm gonna try to play this video actually in one second my farcaster family tonight we're gonna make someone's dream come true our concert in less than three hours and you can all watch it live after the last piece of off tense we'll finally get her bassoon she doesn't have any idea it's gonna be legendary so then she did post a video of her presenting the bassoon so just backstory for those who are like what
what there was a crowdfund to buy this orchestra bassoon player a new bassoon because is she is it even hers i don't think it's hers i think she's been borrowing one or something right or renting or something like that and they finally presented it to her last night and it was really just a beautiful moment and do you think i have it ready to go no of course i don't let me find it real quick and it was just lovely and honestly i was crying i was crying watching this and there was a shout out to farcaster and this you know the bassoon player was crying i was crying everybody was crying it was really amazing so let me pull this up it's a little long so i'm gonna go towards like the end of this where kate starts talking hold on and let me bring this up hold on whoops nope one second please please wait one moment you know first day back we're gonna have issues we're just gonna have issues yeah it's gonna happen

made me cry and that's what's special and just made this yeah amazing amazing amazing so thank you kate for doing that thank you for sharing it with us so we could be a part of it as well so and with that anything else adrienne that i may have missed i know there was a ton of other things we narrowed it way down
but anything that i missed that was big that you wanted to talk about
no i think like we i don't know covered the big stuff it was a fun week covered all the big ones it was good week have a nice
time off good week we have i was more shows this week so we have wednesday morning 08:30 and then we have thursday this week 11:30 and we have special guests coming on so you wanna tell tell the folks who's joining us on thursday
i actually just pinged him this morning to ask how to pronounce it so it's it's e v is it e v mavericks or is it e v m mavericks i don't know we're gonna figure that out and learn about it and yeah so they're coming on and they're sponsoring our show on thursday so super excited to yeah bring him on here with their up to he wanted to even mavericks is a community that was i think came out of like a a sub like subreddit from years ago like a i don't know i i read gotta re reread this story when you're about it
very early crypto subreddits like even before like the you know crypto twitter took off there's a lot of like these crypto subreddits that are still very
and they have a daw right they have a daw they have a treasury they really wanted to support other like so i was i was talking to you know me it's like well what are your goals for for sponsoring gmfarcaster and it's like it's like we just wanna support gmfarcaster i'm like that's not how sponsorship works what do you want out of it
so there's so many of these like we wanna help you
yeah but it's like these like common like you know it's like these values aligned groups that really i mean this is that i think octant was similar it's like you're in the public good space and you have treasuries and you wanna throw around the support so we were really enthusiastically or enthusiast i don't know very happy to yeah accept their sponsorship and but then they also are doing podcasts and other stuff so i'm excited to to bring them on
yeah ben's and we're going to one of and they'll be one of the podcasts that we sponsor with degen when they release their next one on pods so that'll be one of the ones that you'll be able to meet and get a reward
yeah and ben's one of those guys like i know from farcaster and i see him for in the chat so but we've never met so i'm so excited to get him on
yeah this is gonna be fun
so that'll be fun yeah i'm excited we got a fun week and we've got trivia i am still technically on vacation so this is gonna be all week i'm gonna be still less active i'm i'm still up yeah i'm still up north for the week so i'm gonna have like weird setups and things but still seeing some fam still gonna have weird backgrounds you can kinda see like there's
a right and if we do a show thursday that means no friday so maybe prof and i may be meeting up in connecticut for an off-site alright so if we're done with the shoes can i just quickly there were some things commented mentioned in the chat this morning that
i just please do
okay so first i think we hit a thousand subscribers on youtube since our last episode so a big shout out mary thank you for bringing that up because we forgot thank you to everyone who does subscribe we love you
thank you and and that's what we need to figure out that's one of the things like in my mind when i was going on vacation i'm like oh i'm gonna i'm gonna focus on how we're gonna grow and i'm gonna focus on this i'm gonna focus on this and i'm gonna read 10 books and i'm gonna write stuff and then i did nothing but watch love island and you know eat good pizza and that was about it like in hot dogs and go sailing
i really think you need to sometimes like really reset like you actually do need to before you can like come back to building and i also was gonna spend the week strategizing about all the things and i don't know okay there were a few comments about ai and and i don't know if this is like youtube telling every like greg you were missing the beginning but youtube started flagging our content as like not real so i don't know if that's what your comment was and and then because someone else also added a say no to ai art ai art this is really real is youtube trying to tell people we're not real okay
so we're real we we swear we swear we're real
really weird and the only other thing i would say if someone can go give i think feel like gregarious needs a hug this morning
the eternal optimism is tiring
it is
but yes no some people just suck admit it nobody sucks all people some people display sucky behavior doesn't mean they suck as people okay that was all that's all
that's all
and and mika's in the chat who's been very busy coding and has more so i'm obsessed with mika's coding arc so congrats and keep going
did you play the states game too oh the states game was somebody else who was the states game oh that was linda linda did the states game and the other one was the flag game the flag game was mika the states game there was a couple things that were just like i'm like i know that's vermont don't you tell me that's not vermont there were some things that were wrong that is absolutely vermont yeah it's fun to see a whole bunch of people coding things that normally don't code so it's been really fun and i think that's you know in terms of like i don't know to me like that's a really big positive of ai in vibe coding and things like that so fun to see oh you know what we didn't talk about there's a whole bunch of stuff we didn't we didn't talk about we didn't talk about reply that's a new token and a new thing where you can basically make people reply to you you can pay them to reply not a bad way to get me right now since i'm way behind on my dms and dcs
i'm just i feel like we might need to cover that because i'm pretty sure i've been recasting reply stuff based on amps like i think someone's i think they're paying me to rep like to recast it
they
are i've not i do not endorse my re recast does not equal endorse i need to i should add that
especially when you're on vacation you have no idea what's going on
i've gotten lots of you know i and i think that was hilarious because i actually did not realize even i saw it was someone launching something and i yes i've been re every now and then i checked but i didn't actually realize that's what it was about so yeah maybe we might have to cover that on wednesday
so there's that for me for you just for you so there's that neynar is about to do a big airdrop of like 2% of the you know supply that they had locked up and noise has been popping off with a lot of you know different enhancements and things like that over the past week or so betterment tony did something with a capybara i don't know but they got a lot going on and i think he's bringing on i mean burr's joining them to be the you know chief fund officer
it look for more fun coming from them so that'll be that'll be fun so those were three things and then there was one more thing that i was thinking of and then it just it left my brain of like people building different things that were really fun and i can't remember what it is now but there's been a lot of those kinda things happening but it's still been a fairly quiet week yeah overall just because
yeah got this like vision of the future and i realized how hard it is to cover farcaster news because farcaster is like a platform that you can code on so you can cover like it's easy to cover some of the platform announcements but when people start launching you know and then you go from like oh launching a mini app but when you're launching you know like it's like platforms on platforms on platforms it gets really hard to know everything that's happening across the board so if only there
were people who i know it's gonna be real it's gonna get even tougher because yeah next week probably next week once once coinbase wallet coinbase wallet tba tba tba
so there were two more things base drop dropped a mint for an nft that gives you some new things if you play the base drop game base drop game is really fun so check that out remix
don't like the name don't like the name
okay
i love the name farcade i think it was really good branding it was very smart so that's what you know brad joked that like oh you're you're like that with everything i said i'm i'm really not like i'm totally fine with warpcast going back to farcaster i was totally fine with that if you're going back to a different a better name if you're making a better choice i'm not against that whatsoever or if it's a legal thing like sometimes the trademark's not available or something like that like then it makes sense to me but farcade is such a good name even though yeah okay it's the farcaster oh we want it to be beyond farcaster it doesn't matter far can be anything so farcade made a lot of sense to me remix could be it's too generic it's too generic i like some of the like the logo branding is cute the color is okay like some of it's okay but i just like farcade so much better so made me a little sad but at first i thought farcade was gone and a lot of people did because you go into your mini app and if that's something you play every day you're like where did it go oh my god it's gone and some i think some people lost their streak
they thought it was gone
and we're so early like farcade is like you know it's like less than a year old so to have people that are already these daily active users and like super fans but
totally
yeah there was a lot of things rebranding this is funny by the way i don't know when that will happen but the most likely thing you'll see first is me using something like what was it oh o'hara or doing a farcade game is the most likely scenario than me doing a full on vibe coded app because i just don't have those skills to make it really good like i would need i would need a co a co vibe coder to to get me through it
i think i actually feel like a in person vibe coding workshop would be great because you will get and you could do it like you could a 100% vibe code a mini app but you get stuck on one little thing and to have to wait to figure that out is too frustrating so if you have like a team of let's just say dylan's walking around the room who can be like hey this is yeah this is yeah a lot easier yeah
that's so funny about yeah ibm slowed down on making machines we kept the name it was smart like you don't get rid of the you don't get rid of a good name you just don't like dumbest thing i saw this is completely irrelevant from farcaster but dumbest thing and i said it at that moment was hbo changing to hbo max oh a dumber was getting rid of the hbo and guess what they're going back to back because they know they realized oh that was dumb we took this really solid brand and like tossed it aside for something so generic and it's just stupid so yeah don't do those things they're dumb but anyway in another life i was a trademark attorney so that was that's why this is like something that i do actually think about
there's so many stupid things in my
i did i have i've i've bounced around it's funny though because a lot of these things are like significant lengths of time too it's just i'm old so you get a lot of different parts to your worlds so yeah yeah lots of things
perks of being old i also found the we do not care club which i have not shared on farcaster yet but you may have come across it in other social media and it is hilarious but it's really just for women and perimenopause menopause women and but it's funny it's speaking to me the things we do not care about it's pretty funny
is long but the woman is really funny she's really funny she's got the like readers on and she's got a highlighter and a like a notebook
know what we lose the whole entire crowd of 30 dudes
yeah okay this is what we didn't talk about our thirst traps on farcaster oh thirst trap yeah meta i don't know if we need to we can just say it's there and you can do your own research on farcaster decide how you feel about it but that also seemed to have happened or is happening
i think where people get upset is when the thirst trap meta starts earning a lot of rewards i don't think people care that much about it in general i think they care when it's being rewarded that's what i've seen
tell me more
of course but i which could just be a joke or you might not know right people don't have the same algorithm so maybe if i'm i'm assuming this is a genuine question maybe i'll try to explain what the thirst trap meta is in thirty seconds or less yeah oh they know
by the way did you see bert's thirst trap no it was so
he set up his bowl was under like a trap like
it was really funny we love you bert okay we love you bert
so i'll just say farcaster has a let's say a history of being wholesome christian rap like it's and
king so there's been some king and i horny and dollar sign warning just
so i don't know i think there's i think there's some here's how i would explain it i think some of it is not actually thirst traps but it's being seen that way and some of it really is and that i feel like is coming from people who are new to farcaster who are posting the way they post on other platforms like instagram instagram is very
there were right yeah because there was such a dearth of first thirst thirst i don't know i'm so too old to even say thirst trap i don't okay didn't grow up with the internet okay but because there was not a lot when there would be the random one i think king started recasting them to like well you know and king is an og farcaster like in a little bit of an ananon kind of like shit poster
yeah he's a shit caster
shitcaster yeah so like you'd start posting them and then it would yeah then it just became a like thing like let's highlight all the thirst traps on farcaster right
but then right but then you just have people posting kind of like pictures of themselves
yeah those aren't necessarily thirst traps
yes and then when that starts kind of getting sucked into the thirst trap vortex women feel objectified rightful and then it feels a little icky and it's like when you try to have like a monoculture and like it it it just got weird is that
got weird i think yeah but i think it's here's how i look at a lot of this stuff and like the dollar sign horny token that he launched and you know when i see this stuff like take it with a grain of salt and lightly because something else will replace it soon like you know do you want the whole network overrun by thirst traps no and especially ai stuff too like know like not real people blah blah blah but also can mute if that's all somebody's posting you can block if it's really bothering you create your own algo this is what i'm trying to tell you
can just look at the following feed like so you're only seeing people you follow and you don't have to follow those people so yeah
yeah it'll pass this this too shall pass it always does and and there'll be something else to be pissed off about tomorrow so don't worry don't you worry we've got the rage bait for you just wait
yes we like the funny memes or be like bert create you know funny thirst traps you know if you're a dog we appreciate it alright i think that's it i think i'm surprised we made it through without my whole thing completely dying but not bad not bad we made it and i did bring like i brought my actual microphone my good microphone my good camera my light i brought everything to try and make sure it was pretty good
not bad i just couldn't wear my hat because my hat kept fading into because i don't have my real but grand this was my hat you can kinda see it wicked smart wicked smart wicked smart alright and with that everybody we're gonna call it there
and we'll be back wednesday 08:30am and then on thursday at 11:30am with ev mavericks or evm mavericks we're not quite sure which i think it's ev mavericks i don't know but we're very i'm very excited to talk with ben and and that crew and learn more so it'll be fun alright and that's it everybody go post your birds and your clouds and your bunnies let's continue the christian wrap or you know a creative thirst wrap but make it creative and with that everyone we will see you on wednesday until then bye bye
