That I cannot say the word "prettify" intelligibly. At least not for YouTube.
I've recently started recording YouTube videos again and this time around, I've actually been looking at what captions it auto-generates and maybe even cleaning them up, though that takes so much fucking time. And, to be honest, I'm impressed with how much it gets right. This is the same YouTube that understood "mit Drogen" ("with drugs") instead of "Biskuitboden" ("cake base") in a baking video. Sure, there may be a "crawl" instead of "scroll" or "fire folks" instead of "Firefox" and it removes profanity leaving really awkward sentences without what I personally consider to be really mild swearwords... but, for the most part, the auto-generated captions are really accurate.
There's just one work that it just cannot understand... "prettify"! It consistently spits out "purify", "verify"... it never got "prettify", not even once!

I'm watching a German series about the music industry. It's called "Dirty Little Secrets". The first episode focuses on Spotify and artists not being able to make a living out of streaming. This is how I learned that a part of the deal that Daniel Ek signed with the big 3 labels (Universal, Sony and Warner) some 15 years ago involved the labels getting 18% of Spotify for... you'd better be ready for this... 9000€! In 2022 alone, Spotify made well over a million times more money than that. So not only do they get half of every stream's worth, not only do they get hundreds of millions every year upfront regardless of the number of streams, but they also own a part of Spotify. The video is in German and has no subtitles, but this is one of the English articles they reference: UMG CEO Lucian Grainge Is Getting Paid $201 Million This Year — Which Is More Than All UK Songwriters Combined.

That giant pandas can defecate 40 times a day. I did know they poop a lot because they sure mention that on zoo panels. But 40 times a day?! Twice every hour?

What Valentine's Day and love are all about in a shopping complex: synthetic fiber Teddy bears and plastic hearts, all impaled in artificial dead trees with no leaves.
Or maybe someone mixed up the holidays and the whole impaling thing should have been a Halloween festival of horrors.
But then again, the impaling part is so on brand for Romania...
