completelynormalthingtodo but sometimes i think about the perfect alibi for a crime and how you could pre-record a livestream with an excuse like “today i’m playing a VR game so sorry chat if i don’t interact with you much this stream!” if you’re feeling brave at the end say a vague “thank you all for watching, and thank you so much for all the donations, if you want it read though next time donate when i can see the chat haha” and would you look at that, thousands of witnesses saw you livestreaming at home, twitch.tv itself will confirm the exact time you went “live”
then all you’d have to do is get rid of the original file, best if you physically destroyed the disk it was on to prevent any chance of data recovery
probably has some flaws but i did think of it in the shower so don’t use it to do crime
I just read an old [1940s?] mystery where the culprit records himself on a new fangled phonograph record and then uses that to cover his crime. His employees know he’s in the habit of locking his door and playing loud music/talking to himself while he works, so no one suspects locks the door to his office. Later they all swear he was at work when the murder occurred.

There is a dude who did exactly that while committing a murder and got caught. I think this article is talking about the case I’m thinking of: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/02/man-charged-with-ni-faked-live-stream-to-provide-alibi
