Loss in terms of money or efforts. Could be recent or ancient.

Prepare to laugh your ass off.

I'm due for surgery next month to finally get my ass sewn back on after listening to this.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=5jDbJbCuKl4

Can we make a bot that cuts out the begging for likes and subscribes for a full minute at the start of videos?

You mean something like Sponsorblock?

It doesn't just skip sponsors, it can skip subscription reminders, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

There actually used to be (maybe still is) a Chrome extension for this, applying what's known as the Wadsworth Constant :-)

I didn't think I'd watch the whole video but wow, the level of incompetence was just unrivaled. Komchatka was captained by Mr. Bean confirmed.

I had to brush the dust off after rolling around on the floor.

Wow. I was so annoyed by the prospect of a 20min video but it was chock full of incredible moments of stupidity. Good entry.

Sorry about your ass. But it was worth it right!
