if you’re from twitter, hi! it’s mal (otabekvoice / chidarumal)! i’m glad to still be able to see you around on this distant timeline. if we were friends/mutuals over on the bird app and you haven’t had the chance to add me on discord, feel free to dm me!

in due time i’ll make a better promotional post to pin, but i help run a podcast network called indiesaurus! you can join our discord to stay up-to-date with episodes, streams, and just to hang out with our dino fam!

in writing this i decided to make a separate nsfw account: chidarumal. i’m not going to move anything over from this blog, but going forward, all of my nsfw reblogs/posts will be gently placed there.

okay i think that’s everything? carry on!

When I tell that I LOVE solarpunk

Oh, I remember this, the edit was done by youtuber Waffle to the left.

They didn't just cut out the parts with the oat milk, they skillfully edited over all the god-damn branding and replaced the audio.

But what I still find most hilarious about this whole commercial is the fact that everything they show in this solar punk world seems to be made with sustainable, zero waste and reusable materials.

Everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING CHOBANI BRANDED STUFF! The only plastic you see in this whole commercial is all the straight to the landfill packaging made by the very corporation that tries to sell how sustainable and "green" they are. Unintentional self satire at its finest.

They couldn't even show their yogurt and milk in (basically infinitely reusable) glass containers because they pretty much only sell their shit in plastic

It is such a perfect example of the true face of "green" capitalism, it's hilarious.

[undeadentropy]

The punk in this solarpunk comes from cutting the corporation out of the picture

[eco-socialism]

ALSO

Another really interesting thing about this edit is that they changed the label on the side of the apple-picking machine.

From "donations" to "commons". It's a subtle change, but it makes a huge difference in the world-building of the video. The former implies that this big orchard belongs to an owner and that they're donating the fruits to "the less fortunate" (and, by extension, that poverty is still a thing); the latter implies that the orchard belongs to everyone and that the fruits are free to take in the spirit of solidarity.

Waffle To The Left brought out the potential in this gorgeous video and made it an actual solarpunk utopia — without brands and without corporate pandering, complete with true common ownership over land and resources.

Being ugly is not an excuse. Most people are ugly. I’ve fucked ugly people and they weren’t virgins. They were whores. All things considered there probably is someone 5 minutes away dying to fuck you.

[baryunn]

not an excuse for what

[datadegroove-deactivated2026042]

for not voting

[byjove]

I straight up do not trust you if you did not enjoy a single book you had to read for English class. I know they assigned some real stuffy stinkers and the curriculum varies across districts but not one? Not The Outsiders? Not The Picture of Dorian Gray? Not Fahrenheit 451? Not even Frankenstein? Damn. That’s crazy.

normalize flopping. it’s ok to fail baby. sexy even

[librarycard]

the amount of people saying "i thought you meant flopping on the ground". target audience

[bekavoice]

logically I know that in order to get past all of this, we have to get through it. and that in order to get through it, we have to let it the other side of the system come to terms with what they voted for, what they couldn't tell they were voting for, and welcome them rather than push away and risk radicalizing them further. we need them next to us in order to pull down the walls of the identity/culture politics and expose the beating heart of oligarchy and greed that thrives within the manufactured, focus group tested narratives.

but... it is so difficult to not want to grab these people by their collars and shake them, to not berate and demean them whenever they do have their eyes opened to the horrors of what propaganda had them co-signing to their own detriment (as they are only capable of changing views when things impact them personally). because god damn it, they SHOULD feel bad. they really fucking should. every day for the rest of their lives? they should fucking feel bad.

[crazyexdirkfriend]

I get real "I'm at soup" vibes from some media crit

[crazyexdirkfriend]

"All YA books are about vampires" you are looking at the supernatural romance shelf in a WHSmith. "All hip hop is misogynistic" have you considered listening to a female rapper. "All classic books are boring stories about straight white men" you are reading classic books by straight white men. "OFMD was the first time I saw a gay person on television" I don't even know how this happened but it's on you

[larval-tear]

every ad is a personal insult to everyone who sees it and i’m not kidding

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

I'm paying my internet bill for you to use MY bandwidth to put your horrid images and videos on MY screen, draining MY device's power, wasting MY time? 10000 giant murder hornets forever.
