This idea came to me in a dream, and I had to recreate it.

I hope you all see the same vision I did.

NO BUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND

[facts-i-just-made-up]

It was uncommon for knights in the middle ages to ride horses. Rather, imported Rhinoceroses and Hippopotamae were more capable of withstanding battles. The image of a knight on a horse comes from Don Quixote, whose steed was intended as a play on his feeble nature.

[askdemotivatedmod]

"Hippopotamus" directly translates to "Water Horse", so I can only assume "Rhinoceros" translates to "Land Horse" in this context.

[brainrotdotorg]

i really do think we should substitute gacha games instead for like. the random wikipedia article button. gives you the same "yay i got something new and exciting!" feeling without spending any money and you get to learn something new on wikipedia. the problem is that its missing a cute little storage menu where you can see all the links to different articles youve "collected"

[brainrotdotorg]

so many people could be weaned off of gambling if we just gamified that website a *little* bit

[brainrotdotorg]

Why he light skinned?

[yourladyindank]

Because Martin Luther was white and German.

[fancynewaddress]

did…

did someone confuse Luther with Jesus omg

[lookwhathappenedtomack]

I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Oh no

[the-golden-ghost]

I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.

[twofacetoo]

At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake

[janiedean]

desperately google searching for “greek gods to pray to when people notice your online idiocy”

[pluto-officially]

You're failing.

[cyber-corp]

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

[communist-mannyfesto]

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

[cyber-corp]

?????

[enigma-system03]

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

[cyber-corp]

I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me

[cyber-corp]

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

[legionoftuna]

Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano

[cyber-corp]

FINE THEN. BIG FUCK OFF VOLCANO. WHATEVER

[howlingday]

Wait, where's Rainbow Dash?

[askdemotivatedmod]

I'm glad you asked.

You see, back when Rainbow Dash was a child, she crash-landed in the African rainforest and was knocked unconscious. She awoke several days later to discover she'd been adopted by a family group of chimpanzees. These chimps cared for her and raised her as one of their own. It was all Rainbow Dash could do from becoming a chimp herself; she even started seeing them as family members.

After a while, she was found and reintegrated into pony society, which brings us back to today. While all this was going on, Rainbow Dash was at the Ponyville shopping mall. There, she encountered a being who was the spitting image of her chimpanzee uncle; this prompted a strong emotional response, as she tearfully raced over to reunite with a long-lost relation. Unfortunately, the "chimp" pulled off its head and revealed itself to be simply another pony in a chimpanzee costume.

So yeah, Rainbow Dash was dealing with that. Weird, right?

[hellenhighwater]

Well those are allllmost done

question. why do you have 7 featureless grey monoliths in your driveway

[hellenhighwater]

[fishofthewoods]

question. why do you have seven featureless really dark purple monoliths in your driveway and an eighth in the garage

[hellenhighwater]

Some of them do have features though. There's holes and hinges and stuff, so I can put secrets in em

im 100% convinced if movie studios just had theatrical rereleases of animated classics that they marketed as hard as the live action remakes, they'd make a lot more money on them

[askdemotivatedmod]

My philosophy is this: if you're going to remake a movie, then you should make something that A) doesn't invalidate the original, and B) is good to watch in its own right.

Some examples of good remakes that I enjoyed:

• Dune (2021)

• Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Animated Series)

• Planet of the Apes (2011, 2014, 2017)

All these reboots/remakes respect the source material & original versions, while telling new and engaging stories in their own right. And I know there are others who enjoy these just as much as I do.

So clearly, having remakes isn't the problem. But then what is? Why are so many live-action remakes so reviled, when others are not?

I think the ultimate problem is these studios are running out of ideas for how to keep these old IP's "active", so instead of trying to build off them, they just try to re-tell the same story but with better visuals. The problem with that is, most of these stories are already so powerful and complete on their own, that any attempt at trying to re-tell that story just creates a watered-down version at best, and an edgy & soulless copy at worst.

Then again, I could be wrong... remember all those direct-to-DVD Disney sequels? And remember how hit/miss they were? Maybe the problem is bigger than I give it credit...

[ceasarslegion]

I started listening to the cree radio station because its the only one left in my range that doesnt play alberta separatist ads now and those make me see red like some sort of bull, which is not safe while im behind the wheel of a vehicle going 110

Why haven't they told me about the cree all-purpose radio station sooner. They play everything from the 50s to today. Half of their ads and one of their shows is in cree which I do not speak a lick of but thats fine, they play banger music. They give me local news updates that arent dripping with UCP cocksucking. They tell me about things that affect a demographic I otherwise hear very little about by virtue of being a white guy in alberta.

We are holding hands. We are learning about other cultures. We are listening to 60s rock and roll and then an elder will tell us stories about his youth. I am enamored. I am in love.

[ceasarslegion]

Lots of people in the notes have asked me to drop the radio station im talking about here. If youre in the Edmonton area the frequency is 89.3, and when we went on a trip recently we got pretty reliable signal all the way to Ponoka. If youre outside of it or international you can get the live broadcast at ravenradio.ca

They also have a retro hour at noon every day and do language lessons for allies

I remember when I first watched this show, I played this part at least 5 times

[peopleareaproblem]

Narrator: “Water. Unlike other cats, long-haired Persians need regular baths to keep their luxurious coats healthy and fluffy. Reginald doesn’t care if he has a prize-winning coat. He just wants the ordeal to be over.”

Reginald: *meows in distress*

Narrator: Unfortunately for Reggie, there’s one last step. He’s about to learn that getting wet is nothing – compared to getting dry.”
