What we Need, Arthur, is a plan!
Literally nothing. No one in the comments has ever used a self-propelled mower. If she falls it moves forward a few feet, the blade stops because she's not holding the engagement bar, and nothing happens.
Just standard basement dwelling redditors shitting on a female any way they can.
Totally unexpected in the context of this sub, and, thus, coffee spewed everywhere. Thanks for that. Totally stealing it.

The dirty communist Republicans will want to bail them out, I'm sure.
Silicon valley bank? Where the liberal elite and tech startups park their funds? Yeah, no.
Republicans are gonna grift on this and use it to shit on the left. There's zero chance they will step in.
Pickups are essentially mics. They hear what the guitar is doing to amplify those sounds, much in the same way a mic would be used on a voice or other instrument
Well sort of... Mics and pickups are transducers, meaning they transform mechanical energy into electrical energy for recording, but do it in different ways.
Pickups: vibrating ferrous material suspended in a magnetic field with coil winding which absorbs the magnetic energy from the vibrating string.
Dynamic microphone: paper or plastic with a coil winding glued to the back (the diaphragm), suspended in a magnetic field and a second coil to absorb the magnetic energy generated by the diapragm/coil. Quite literally a reverse speaker.
Ribbon microphone: guitar pickup but uses a very very thin "ribbon" of metal as an air sensitive diaphragm instead of guitar strings.
Condenser / electret microphone: doesn't use magnetic coupling, uses capacitance between two charged metal plates, where one is fixed and the other is the diaphragm. Then couples a circuit to turn the changing capacitance into voltage.
Piezo: uses semiconductor material that generates an electrical charge directly when compressed.
So pickups and mics are based on similar principles but they aren't the same.
Edit: fun fact, Les Paul "invented" the guitar pickup by a record player cartridge suspended over the guitar. Same concept, except on a record player, the metal stylus vibrating in the groove substitutes for the guitar string.
The beginning of dead and bloated by Stone Temple Pilots starts with Scott Weiland singing the melody a capella into the hum bucker of a Gibson guitar with lots of gain. I remember seeing a video of him doing it but I’m having trouble finding it now
That... Wouldn't make a recordable sound. There would need to be some metal vibrating to induce sound. You could glue some paper to the guitar strings and get some sound out, but just singing at a pickup doesn't work.
Edit: on thinking and writing my other comment, only thing that would be generating sound is the pickguard or wood moving the pickup. It would be so miniscule as to require screaming on a solid body. But part of why strats sound the way they do is the pickguard is suspended. Also why hollowbodies sound different than say a Les Paul.
Also listening it just sounds like he's running a mic through a shitty amp. Or possibly using a speaker hooked up as a microphone.
I'm investigating this. Doesn't seem to be happening for most people which is making this really hard to reproduce (it's not happening for me at all).
If it's happening for you:
Is it happening for every media source or can you narrow it to a specific kind? For instance, if you go to r/whatcouldgowrong (majority Reddit hosted video), or r/MovieDetails (majority Imgur GIFS), or r/eyebleach (majority Gfycat) or a NSFW subreddit if you wish to (majority RedGIFs)?
Does it temporarily fix itself if you force quit the app?
Does turning off Video Deblurinator in Settings tab > General > Media fix it?
Go to Settings tab > About > Logs and send an email mentioning this issue? I'll see if there's something in the logs that sheds some light.
Maybe I can hop on with something I noticed.
Open a video directly: doesn't play
Open a thread that's a repost in the reposted sub:doesn't play
Open a repost in the original subreddit: plays fine
not sure what could cause this, but it looks like fetching thru repost us what's failing.
It's just a strange way to end conversational sentences...
Not for boomers. Apparently it's a thing.
Also explains why someone would defend obvious weaponized incompetence... ;)
I'm sure MTG hasn't read it. She probably thinks it's an art book.
Let's be real, picture books are probably the only thing she can read.
