Thanks for the note (shakes fist at the toaster for not mentioning it!)

True story.

Went to the presentation at school, at night. All the boys went one night, the girls on another. Fifth and sixth graders, but my mom took me as a fourth grader, my brother went as a fifth grader.

After both of us had seen the presentation, my parents sat with us in the backyard. Asked if we had any questions.

I had one. "How does the sperm get across the bed? Does it crawl?"

They showed all the apparatus, but they never told us the delivery method!

My parents didn't answer then. My dad tried to tell me later. Always at dinner time, which was weird.

I learned by then that this was something not to be discussed (picked that up from my parents, clearly!) Dad would try to tell me, I would squeal and run upstairs.

My father is not a patient man.

One night, he leaned over and unplugged the toaster. "Gale, in electrical terms, this is the male and this is the female." And he plugged in the toaster.

I squealed and ran, but the info was transmitted.

Stupid Disney movie didn't tell us.

This was in 1963.

Hang on, how long have you been a member again?

The toaster knew, and it's been mentioned more than a few times in sift talk...

I think the toaster used to be able to get lengths from vimeo, until they changed it, but I don't think it's a big deal... having it pick up the thumbnails is a big improvement though.

Say what you will about Obama, I have no idea who and what he is or represents and I'd vote for him just for a chance to ride his cock. I love how he's a better actor than he is any sort of leader, just follow his lead and the world will ooze jelly donuts-filling and Pop Tart pastries in your favorite flavor will fall right off the trees and into your toaster!

So let's keep the spirit of complete douch-nozzle, spit-popping cuntitude going shall we?? (all five of my buddy-crew here who can do nothing else including think, without being told how and what to think about) y'all chime-in.

Which sift asshole piece of shit will be the first to think for themselves without having the television dictate how much of a complete cunt to be, and try to squash and render this asshole's newsspeak into the fertilizer it was meant to be, exposing for what it truly is, pusillanimous, robotic-script drivel, who can pssibly and effectively change the subject?

Lantern? Bobknight? Surely QM has something to say that I can call him out simply to shit upon him? ME, ME, ME, motherfuckers, nothing else matters but FUCKING ME!

Or will one of the few people who knows me better than I know myself, dismiss it reiterating how the parties are all the same in it's usual style of calling shit for what it is, identifying correctly, the crux of the biscuit???

Whohoo! Thanks - you're my favourite toaster!

Thanks for the note, and the backup, fixed.

Unable to dead an unsifted vid is the toaster's strangest limitation I think

Happy Christmas, Toaster, and best wishes for 2014

A sound theory. No need to bother the toaster when there are humans on the site to take your commands

I don't think you would lose a star point in that case, but feel free to keep doing what you're doing, that works too.

I need a time machine toaster for the Alpine Slide.

Thanks for the tip on power points you monitor lizard-esque komodo dragony beast you! I never use PPs so I didn't realize that my so called powers are confined to the videos that I've made unclean with my underprivileged caress.

I wasn't being serious at all with that second post, in fact I've come to realize the dark truth of the skillful channel in my lurking time on the sift. And knowingly fail invoked skillful in the shallow hopes that the specific channel lord would see it and be stricken with befuddlement. Also I wanted to attempt to get the goat of the impenetrable toaster-bot.

Take care.

@lucky760 did the toaster get him? I didn't see a ban, an instaban, or any grounds for either.

Well I am rather optimistically assuming that if people bother to put in a related link at all, that it will be because the toaster did a poor job, and that whatever they add will be better.

It would be possible to put only unrelated links, but then, similar abuse of other site features has led to bans or loss of privilege in the past, so it's not as if nothing can be done.

In any case, we will soon see. The feature has been around a while now, and people seem to be getting a little bit used to it.

I just understood it to be a manual way to tell siftbot to put a video in the "related" vids box at the bottom... and since the toaster already puts in some quite unrelated vids at times, a few strays probably don't matter much.

So based on that, I have no problem at all with part two of something being listed as related to part 1, and two vids that had nothing in common except both featuring a bridge could already have been considered related by the toaster, so although I would never put in that link myself it's probably not the end of the world.
