      Naomi Nekomimi TL;DW:Deep web is everything not indexed. Ex: I can visit my own facebook page but I have it covered so it won't show up in google. If you type it in facebook you can acces the page but the content will stay hidden until you give acces. This is the deep web for the most part, just databases with accounts that won't get indexed. You also have another part of the deep web; often called the dark web. This are .onion sites and mostly you can acces them with something like TOR client. Here are a lot of things, drug markets being popular but also REALLY BIG libraries with almost all movies, series and music. Way more than tpb, this things are "easily" accesed. You can find them on a index site that you find on ex. chrome. You will copy the link and just paste it in TOR. If you go further, you start to get CP, hitmen, terrorist attacks. These sites are a bit harder to come by and you WILL need a vpn or a proxy. These sites are more tricky to find and if you don't know what you are doing it is not advised to do it.

      4289job Interesting. So there is a way to access the library of stuff without getting any of the not safe for life stuff? That would be interesting to figure out, as long as it wouldn't be pissing off any law enforcement (at least no more than usual torrenting does).

Like "gray cat scared", "scared gray cat", "gray cat gets scared", "cat gray scared", "scared cat gray" and other such searches would all qualify as different.

    Having the internet at home in the late 90's/early 00's was magical. As a child you felt like you had a key to a mystical city that not a lot of people had. Websites were slow, flash animations ruled supreme, basic HTML was the norm. I still remember going on CZcams in 2005 and being blown away by how smoothly and quickly I could watch a video online with it's player, when only a few years beforehand I waited 15-30 minutes to able to watch a 45 second video in Quicktime without it stopping.
    As time on goes on the internet resonates with and accommodates more people of all ages and it's lost that magic. It's in your pocket now and it's taken for granted. I'll never forget how magical the internet once was

      I don't think that would be possible as it would mean including the computer (and other computers as well) in the simulation. A computer with X amount of memory cannot store information requiring X+n memory.

    • @SethiozProject
      @SethiozProject Před 10 lety

      melychor ahahha very good point. i didn't think about it before, but let me correct. lets say that the whole universe, but not the content of computers, because they do not effect the world.
      I mean this very comment here, does not effect the way universe works or takes place. Neither do any of the videos, music ..etc
      Only things that MAY effect universe, is heavy machinery controlled by computers, but that would be included as separate system and working on its own.
      so in other words, the simulation would not have another simulation inside of it.

    • @melychor
      @melychor Před 10 lety +8

      The Sethioz Project I don't think it is only things that affect the universe. Human actions also affect the world (at least partially) and human actions have roots in ideas (like those read on youtube, too). Besides, some human decisions might be caused by some spontanous activity of the brain (I don't know, an electron boosting a neuron to send a signal or something). So it boils down to quantum mechanics:) or butterfly effect, chaos theory etc. To sum up, the amount of information describing the universe (without simplifying it) is so vast that you would need a computer the size of the universe...... probably, but I am not sure. Yeah, it is a good problem for vsauce. Let's leave it to wiser guys.

    I think text based information (e.g., books) requires greater stimulation of the brain's creative faculties since it requires the mind to imagine all the sensory information instead of having it provided directly as images or sounds. Although the internet contains text based information, it is largely driven by multimedia that is more directly stimulating to the senses, thus making the absorption of information a more passive act since it does not require imagination.
    Furthermore, the "linearity" or "rigidity" of books requires a sense of discipline, as we have to coerce our ever shortening attention spans into maintaining focus on a particular subject in order to gain depth of knowledge, not breadth.

      Considering the amount of content uploaded everyday that is a LOT of porn? XD

      Paul Fatosin "Internet traffic" is what is being viewed at any given time. Not what is stored for viewing.

      Amineo I'm pretty sure they aren't counting hentai, people with open porn tags doing something else or people fapping to strange things.

      Iconoclasm_ It is only 2-3% because what is considered porn is held to "higher" standard now.
      If it's just two white people going at it... that doesn't count anymore. If there are multiple players, bondage, rule 34, feces, incest, a dog or tentacles, then it is considered porn.
