This riddle has been around for so long it predates LEDs and pedantic software engineers.

I only signed up since it was one of the few instances allowing registration at the time of a big reddit exodus. Just haven't made too many new accounts in other instances yet but yes, the community is in an echo chamber.
It's not AI, it's from the specialized EVO ad campaign like 5 years ago.
Bill Nye is an entertainer / educator. I've met plenty of people with PHDs and masters who couldn't present a basic concept because they're too caught up in technicalities and not understanding what it's like to teach and get people interested in something.
It was the first thing on their website for a bit but the Minnesota assassination took over shortly afterwards. For the rest of the day it was still on the homepage. But looks like it has fallen off a couple days after.
Growing up, I'd occasionally tear up over a sad movie.
Now that I'm older, I seek out movies that tend to be depressing and tragic. Watching them alone let's me express a level of empathy or grief that is almost therapeutic. Most mainstream movies that are deemed sad may still only get me to slightly tear up like the past. But I've encountered enough indy or slightly lesser know films that fly under the radar and they make me ugly cry.
Being in a vulnerable mindset kind of helps because there are moments where I could probably fight it mentally and hold back my reaction. But if I allow myself to let go, then it's full on sobbing.
Recent movies that had that effect on me are Drawing Closer, and How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies.
It's not always empathy, somethings its a personal element where I relate to someone on screen and I use them as a conduit to express the emotions I might normally suppress or stoicly ignore.
Seriously, I love aubergines. If my super market stops carrying it I will just get it elsewhere.
