I started BoredScoop because, like many of you, I was tired of business and tech news that’s dry as hell. It’s a newsletter that skips the jargon and boring fluff, delivering the important news from the business & tech world with a side of humor.

Fair warning: we keep it casual, and a few curse words might sneak in—but it’s all in good fun. If you want to stay informed without falling asleep, check it out!


Interesting thing is he spent eight years creating a comprehensive dataset of over 14,500 mapped records of sunken ships...why??


Going on 12 years now. If I had known it would have taken so long before I started I might not have taken this on. It’s been a lot of work on my own time but it’s something I enjoy. Why did I start? I thought it would be cool to see it all mapped and see the patterns that result, including the temporal ones. And I think I was right - it is cool. Also, aside from this forum there’s been a huge interest in from folks involved with cleaning up potentially polluting wrecks and underwater cultural sites. Glad people are enjoying it and finding it worthwhile.


I applaud such hobbies. Compare the time spent on it relative to, say, ingesting Netflix into your optic nerve.


Yeah, you're right I guess. Better than popping your eye watching cringe shows.


People have obsessive hobbies. There are tons of examples.


The question is not where it begins, I have a friend who's father is diagnosed with Parkinson, can't really walk properly or talk and it's sad to see.

But what's the cure? and where's the cure. I remember that it's been questioned for so long like 5 years ago I heard that Parkinson might be a disease that begins from gut....yet we are still figuring out how it begins and not how it cures.

Is it not better to solve issues like these than AGI?


If we can prevent it, it won't be as important to be able to cure it.


Whats the prevention strategy?

As someone in their mid-30s with neurological and psychiatric conditions who also experiences regular constipation, I read this and felt, "ok, now what?"


Well, knowing something in the gut is causing it means they are one step closer to finding the cause. Eliminating the cause can prevent it, even if it doesn't aid in curing existing cases.


Some didn't liked the site but I liked it, don't know seems impressive. Btw, the name is really a coincidence. like paul heersink (here sink) man finding the ships that sank. Found this video of him on YouTube guess he helped in mapping cache maps.
