Watermelon can definitely become brittle. It rots fairly quickly if you've eaten all the actual melon off. It gets hard for like an hour and then it gets all mushy and nasty.

New topic: Filter Bubbles - How do you feel about them?

It definitely sucks that we have no control over what gets filtered out of our everyday lives. Local media does it, search engines do it, social networking does it, and some of the factors that certain filtering systems use are things you might not have any control over, like your location or your acquired taste in music. And if somebody else uses your computer to search for something, it could filter your results in a way that removes things you would normally want to see.

Dude, that's nine minutes long. Isn't there a transcript I can read somewhere instead?

Off-topic post:
I'll try to shorten it.

People think the internet is like this when it comes to ideas and other people


It's actually more like this because websites filter out what you see based on what they've observed about you and your habits


And you don't actually get to see what gets filtered out so it becomes this where you only get news that they think you'll be more interested in

I watched the video because I'm not lazy. TED is a prett amazing group, always bringing interesting and thought provoking stuff to the public. We've discussed the internet filter bubble here before with the same "screenshot your google" stuff but it's still terrifying.
