  • I was 11, and the movie was the sixth sense. The girl vomiting scared me, and also when the mom leaves the kitchen and returns a few seconds later and all the cupboard doors and drawers are open…

    I was watching this with my family at home and during the movie my older brother used his cell phone to call our home phone which was located on the other side of the house in the kitchen. I hadn’t realized it was him calling the home phone and I jumped at the opportunity to leave the scary move to go answer the phone. All the lights were off as I entered the kitchen. I flipped the lights on and boom… all of the doors and drawers are wide open. My brother lured me into the kitchen with that phone call just to scare me.

    It’s not that scary of a movie but to this day I refuse to watch it. Also, I stopped speaking with my brother years ago.


  • I’m talking about on desktop, although come to think of it, I think on mobile in Firefox focus, the videos auto play on mute… maybe because my phone is on mute, not sure. I am using Firefox for both now. Ditched chrome about a year ago when I noticed edge was actually working better for things, then ditched edge during the YouTube debacle a few months back. Super happy with Firefox + UBlock.

    Also maybe my local news sites are shittier than your local news sites. It’s mostly the local news sites that have the shitty auto play, along with some shitty national sites like Fox News. And even though I do avoid fox like the plague, sometimes I like to see how a legitimate story gets spun by the right.

    With that said, others have mentioned that on desktop using Firefox, and probably mobile as well, rather than selecting mute tab super quick, there are settings to prevent auto play all together.
