Back in the day, the web term "below the fold" mean that if a user didn't see the content without scrolling, then your website was made wrong.
Is this the "below the fold" of the 2020s era?
(used this example just because a friend is doing a comedy show in Valencia tonight)

I know I have to do the task.

Here's a fun exercise. This is Blackberry stock from 1999 to 2015, but dates are hidden
Where on the line was the iPhone 1 announced (Jan 2007) and released (June 2007), you'll be surprised (unless you're a stocks person I guess)
For the answer, google "blackberry stock" and click "max"

I think YouTube includes the username of the person you are replying to in the filter check
The blurred username is just random characters, but I often see comments get flagged when people forget to put space between the username they are mentioning and their comment

I think that when GTA6 finally releases, it would be really funny if it ended up being a bad video game.

Jump = Hoppa
Did you jump (singular you) = Hoppaðirðu
Did you jump (plural you) = Hoppuðuði
If you jump = Hoppirðu
If you jumped = Hoppaðirðu
Did you jump (singular you) = Hoppaðirðu
Did you jump (plural you) = Hoppuðuði
If you jump = Hoppirðu
If you jumped = Hoppaðirðu
