Also useful for enterprise, design - seeing a car in a space when it doesn't exist yet is a useful tool. Looking into every nook is possible, sitting in the cockpit, etc. Doing it in a CAD package isn't the same.
Also, it's good for training and losing weight without leaving the house, provided you are consistent with it and have a good diet.
There might still be the "Twitter numbers" accounts that post some set of numbers or words at specific times.
Basically it's just the internet version of the "radio numbers" or "radio codes" that are radio signals that randomly or schedule voice a set of numbers or words. There go back decades.
The theory is that it's a commutation network for spies.
You mean number stations?
Yes! Thanks for the correct name.
I wish the Lincolnshire poacher still ran
There's all the young kids who went viral in the early 2000s, often because the internet made fun of them.
The mystery was would they turn out to have horrible lives.
But it's been so long they've all grown up and no one remembers them and they have normal lives.
Because it was "so long" ago, LonelyGirl15.
Cicada . Also i am saving this thread for future use.
I'm pretty sure a YouTube channel researched this one pretty thoroughly. Try checking out the Why Files. The entire channel is fascinating, intertwining, and informative.

Did anyone ever work out who Satoshi Nakamoto is?
No but Barely Sociable on Youtube did a pretty interesting documentary with some of his own theories on it.
Based on what I've read, Len Sassaman seems the most likely candidate, but certainly nothing has been confirmed.
I quite certain however that douchebag extrordinaire, Craig Wrigh, is NOT Satoshi.
Some have speculated that Nakamoto is an alias for Adam Beck, or one of the other founders. It is known that nakamoto was living in a European timezone.
No, and at this point probably the proper question is who he was. He has been too quiet for too long and too many important topics that could have been resolved immediately had he taken a side, the biggest example for me is the block size debate.
Every few years I look up if new evidence has been found and/or new suspects show up.
It's always entertaining, but I'm guessing Satoshi Sakamoto is as smart as they come and we'll never know who he/she is.
Hey everybody! ConstipatedWatson is Satoshi!
Oh shit! Made me! 😂😂😂
I was recently recommended an internet mystery by YouTube. I didn't know about it until then (and I'm generally pretty online), so it's probably not well known.
It's the song, Like the Wind (or Blind the Wind). Story goes that a kid recorded the song in 1984 from a West German radio station, but he didn't catch the name of the song nor the band. Eventually, the recording got posted online, and strangely enough, nobody online seems to recognize it. It's still unknown where this song came from. People call it Like the Wind (or Blind the Wind) because that's what the first 3 words of the song sound like. Speculation is that it's probably from an East German indie rock band that got disbanded, but at this time, it'll probably never be solved
Got wrapped up into that a while back, an interesting tangent is the song So Do I by DCO, which was similarly lost until one of the band's original members recognized it and posted it online. Said member did confirm that TMMS/Like The Wind is not a song they made, tho.
