The only real option nowadays is SoulSeek. Just make sure you set it up properly. I have seen loads of people mistakenly (I assume) share personal folders. And I am sure some people pry on these.

A couple years ago I was going through this guy’s shared folders because he had a few bits of obscure media I was looking for. Then I ended in a folder containing very personal pictures (family, ids, bank cards). I was actually scared for that guy! I literally found his phone number in the files, and called him to warn him… We are still friends! :D Following this I did two things:

• Spent a whole day looking for people sharing personal info, and warning them.
• Made a folder with files containing fake personal info, fake pictures, etc. I just gave the files names like password.txt, holiday2017.png, etc. Those files were downloaded almost immediately.

For over 3 years I had a torrent that had been stuck at just under 90%. We were 4 more or less 2 over the years. Then I randomly found this guy on soulseek who had the file from the torrent (exact name and size), but it was in private. I messaged him, he wanted to trade (never understood this type of people). Thankfully I had something he wanted. We traded, switched the file in the torrent folder, force check, 100% Motherfuckers! I never kept in touch with that guy, and his precious little file is easily findable on public trackers :D

TLDR - Soulseek

Watched a good ten minutes of Incubus. I speak a couple Latin and Germanic languages, and it sounded like a weird mix of European languages. Could definitively understand some of it.

It’s in Esperanto!

There is a bigger market than you think. Shark meat is part of Asian, Caribbean, Latino, and Hawaiian food culture. You can find dozens of different shark products in grocery store, and that’s not including pet food. It can hide under different names like white fish or ocean fish. So I would guess from high hundreds of thousand to low millions. Dug deeper, it is estimated around 300 to 500 thousands from shark fisheries. But, 2.5 to 5 million from bycatch…

Their is also recreational fishing. Which is responsible for 100 to 150 thousands shark killings per year.

So that’s a comfortable 3 to 5 million a year in the US alone…

And coincidentally, there is some scandal happening now about critically endangered shark meat sold under false labels.

This comment sent me into a little rabbit hole.

In the US alone, humans kill, on average, 1 cow per second (over 33 million a year). That is including calves.

edit: In the US alone, humans kill, on average 1 shark per 10 seconds (over 3 million a year).

Great read! Haven’t had a laugh like this in a while. Fucking idiot!
