Nothing to see, they just take the comments of Youtube rationally, and thinks this is the real like. Completely ignoring the fact that Youtube comments are almost always JOKES to get likes

It's Google's fault for giving out a set of knives when you reach a thousand likes on one comment.

Really? Does one get set of knives if they get 1000 likes in a comment?

> Councillor Marcus Gower was also praised for his inventive Zoom background choice of the Death Star

Looks more like a TARDIS to me, with K9, Tom Baker era. Season 15 (1977-8), judging by this page:

Even without familiarity with that season, the central circular console and the circles on the walls seem much more Dr Who than Death Star

If there's one thing I remember about the Galactic Empire it's how their lights are always arranged in some narrow pattern across random walls.

Circular lights on white walls are maybe close to Kamino if you squint enough, but that's about it.

You know, a person could have a lot of fun cutting in their own video and audio on a talking head in one of these youtube council meetings.

Fake Zoom Meetings as a Service!

I was thinking along the lines of getting city council members to agree with insane concepts. The committee all nodding at the wisdom of the new town monorail would be funny as hell.

Search for "zoom meeting" and you can play that for background noise. I admit, I've done this after a big lunch when I wanted some quiet 30 minutes from my wife and kids hahaha!
