Show HN is specifically for things users can try out. I don't think a YouTube video qualifies.

I've felt this way for decades and almost invariably get negative push-back when I raise these points. I've stopped worrying about it.

A program that parses an arbitrary shelf label and then displays a large-print normalized representation (like the nutrition label) would be valuable.

Deadly!

Breached!

Unprecedented trail of destruction!

Scores of Adélie penguins and skuas dead!

and what percentage is that of the entire Adélie penguin and skuas populations?

I will tell you.

Because of its very large and increasing population (estimated at more than 10 million mature individuals in 2020), and its unfragmented habitat, the Adélie penguin is considered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature to be a species of least concern.

How is that a "mass mortality event"

Look out Australia the bird flu jab is heading your way.

The fact that the habitat is unfragmented means the virus can more easily spread through the entire population, and not just to more penguins, but to anything else that lives there, given it is affecting mammals too.

You're minimizing this news based on percentages killed so far, when the virus has just arrived and now has unfettered access to those aforementioned 10 million individuals.

It's a mass mortality event because it's infectious, has killed thousands already on Heroína Island and isn't over yet...

I know it's uncool to ask if a commenter has read the article, but...
