What does it really mean to have German ancestry? If you’ve taken a DNA test and seen the "Germanic" label, your story is far richer, older, and more dynamic than any single result. Groundbreaking genetic research reveals that Germans descend from a tapestry of Ice Age hunters, early farmers, horse-riding steppe migrants, Celtic warriors, and global travelers. Each left its enduring mark, blending survival, innovation, and migration into the DNA of modern Germans.

When you’re gathering the Transcript in a YouTube video, select the 3 vertical dots in the Transcript window and then click Toggle Timestamps. This will remove the annoying timestamp before each line.

Thanks for retaining the useful timestamps!

I do understand that the timestamps are useful—IN YouTube.

The reason is when you are in the video itself, and go to the Timestamp popup, you can click on it and the video will commence playing from that time.

However, it makes harder to read (in my opinion) when you copied that data from YouTube and then paste it (as text) into a post on Free Republic.

I guess you can read around it, as Sunken Civ desires to keep using it. It’s his post, and I respect that. I only offered a suggestion and am not upset it won’t be used.

Thanks! The limitations of the YouTube transcript include odd punctuations, goofy spellings, random line lengths, and on occasion non-English text.

Some FReepers have used various AI gizmos to really clean it all up, and I’m grateful that they’re willing to do that from time to time, particularly on very long videos. OTOH, I’m not ready to join the Borg collective just yet and give some possibly bad actors out there in Cyberia my contact information.

I’ve found that complaints emerge about the transcript, or about the lack of transcripts, and I’m done with worrying about it. The fact that the text is shifted down with the ‘small’ tag never seems to be a complaint, but I started that because even a ten minute vid transcript can be quite a bit longer otherwise.
