The bows that were used during the rule of Genghis Khan were smaller than the modern Manchu-derived weapons used at most Naadam.

Mongol style bows were officially outlawed[2] in Mongolia after it was conquered by the Manchu dynasty.[3] Manchu soldiers entered gers and broke any Mongol bows that they found, and the Qing forced Mongols to use the Manchu bow in their archery.

When uploading a real recording, there is a good chance your location & therefore possibly your identity can be revealed from the footage itself.

  1. You can triangulate low volume background sounds such as air planes: https://cybernews.com/privacy/aircraft-doppler-audio-geolocation-privacy/

  2. You can check the position of the sun/moon/stars, shadows, weather...: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2020/12/03/using-the-sun-and-the-shadows-for-geolocation/

If Streamers & Journalists CAN do it, government agencies ARE doing it.

If you need privacy be aware of this when recording / editing friends <3

I am watching CBC's coverage of the US mid-term elections because they're slightly less annoying than CNN/C-SPAN/Fox/ABC/etc. All the Canadian News people are wearing poppy pins, which led me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole on how the poppy flower is a symbol for remembering military service members. It dates back to a WWI era poem, and also inspired France to do create a similar bleuet de France.

It also led me to this 2015 article in which some Canadians considered it "defacing" the symbol to use a safer pin design than an inches long stick pin. I'm just glad USians aren't the only that get mouth-frothing stupid about arbitrary symbols. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/remembrance-day-poppy-pin-that-won-t-fall-off-1.3311799
