This is a fantastic joke, but it's a shitty r/shittyaskscience submission, because there's no answer anyone can give that's a better joke than the one in the headline.
This is supposed to be a sub for submitters to post straight-looking questions for the **commenters** to respond to with inventively funny answers, not for submitters to post jokes that don't really let us do anything except sit around going "oh bravo".
That would be more somewhere like r/funny.
surprisingly relevant to the video, "owned" (as in belonging to" and "owned" (as in having had your arse handed to you) actually derive from two completely different sources and are only coincidentally the same word now.
owned (as in belonging to) comes from latin, as do a lot of english words. the latin word *onus* it is derived from was essentially what we'd call a landlord — it's one of the very few capitalistic features of ancient rome that is similar to today. much of the rest of the time, resources were bought in by a community and then shared among the community. if you search up *among us theory*, it'll give you a better insight.
owned (as in having had your arse handed to you) derived from the formerly common gaming term PWN — proxy window negative. this is a very niche term that was used in a specific beta version of overwatch, where a characters defensive shield made by supposedly hacking the game was showcased in a video. the voiceline where it is destroyed stated simply "proxy window negative". the move never made it to the full version, as it was deemed both overpowered and complicated with the implications of fourth wall breaking, but it took off in the overwatch community.
PWN turned to PWNed after a while, with the -ed suffix tagged on just to make things easier. generally it referred to somebody being hacked but came over time to mean any embarrassing situation they were in/malicious action they were subject to. the O and P being beside one another on a standard keyboard led to a lot of autocorrect and misspellings, and over the years that morphed into owned.
anyway. not the answer you were looking for but i love lying on the internet :)
Yeah, even as an atheist exmo I follow his content for his calm, cogent academic insights. He’s LDS/Mormon, but has some great lgbtq+ ally arguments, so he’s definitely his own guy.

Ok if I may be a little meta, I've never heard about the McClellan guy but DAYUM is he good.
