This isn't a perfect example, but back in 2008 the series "Life After People" had both UK and US narration for the same show, which gives an interesting example of how different a tone can be set just by the soundtrack - Here's the first minute in each language of S02E07.

I was talking to somebody a few days ago about how "The Curse of Oak Island" would be an entirely different show in the UK - Each season would be cut down to 2 or 3 episodes, there would be much more emphasis on the archaeology and the technology, and the narration wouldn't be anything like as dramatic and irritating.

@gerrymcgovern While I appreciate the concerns with regards to energy use & I personally feel that #AI is a serious #existentialThreat to #humanity..

I do wonder why some people feel the need to #insult others like "fuck tech bros" etc. Seems #unnecessary.

In the end most, if not all, #energy slurping services keep existing because of users. Including "social media" like X, Face**, etc and yes even #Mastodon & the #Fediverse with its glorious cat pics..

So I applaud efforts to reduce usage. ❤️
