  • I remember paper money. In my country there was a period of transition from paper to plastic money where both were valid forms. I had a similar thought. I made some old paper money on a normal printer, but I found an excellent material to use for the woven shiny ribbon. I gave the counterfeit notes to my friends at school for a laugh and they used it to buy things from the dairy and tuck shop (school cafeteria).

    Actually worked surprisingly well, until the glue used to join the two sides failed. One note pulled apart and the tuck shop owner noticed while cashing up. The police came around to my house but we placated them with muffins. It turns out someone had tried flushing a bunch of notes down the school toilet and the police tried to retrieve the money from inside the plumbing system.

    Fun times. I was about 11 years old. Had no idea of the seriousness of what I was doing. Cops found it pretty funny, but I remember they were still very concerned about the notes spreading into circulation.

    I might be wrong but I think ad blocker warnings show up briefly after YouTube updates its detection methods. They vanish once filter lists catch up. It’s an ongoing cat-and-mouse game.

    To reduce these warnings, update your ad blocker’s filter lists or they’ll eventually they do so automatically.

    Update Filters: In uBlock Origin, open the dashboard, go to the “Filter lists” tab, and click “Update now.” Keeping uBlock itself updated helps too. Clearing cache can sometimes help. I think Firefox has better uBlock support, Chrome is toxic to adblocker integration.

    This reminds me of when I was about 8 years old. I read online that vaccines are bad, and fluoride in the drinking water was part of some evil plot. I told everyone about it and it took about a day for me to realize how wrong I was. I was embarrassed for a while, but every time I see something like this I feel so lucky I developed critical thinking before it was too late.
