I haven’t seen the HTTYD remake yet but it’s hilarious to me how John Powell wasn’t allowed to use the same track names so he just decided to be a troll.

[insomniac-arrest]

it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like

WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM???

[insomniac-arrest]

WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS??

(also, aren’t they Vikings or something?)

[bramblepatch]

To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American

If it was just the rats I’d say it’s because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but don’t necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isn’t literally taking place the way we see it but that doesn’t explain why Linguini has a rat accent

[pupangelremade-deactivated20211]

LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT 

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

Do we ever hear like

For sure that Linguini grew up in France tho?

It could be possible he’s just an American immigrant

[burningivy]

I mean his name is Alfredo Linguini so I always assumed he was Italian

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

I’m sorry his first name is Alfredo?

[noah-moth-cursed-chaos]

What

[insomniac-arrest]

ALFREDO???

[bauliya]

he’s American you guys his mother was American it was mentioned in the beginning

[insomniac-arrest]

I’m sorry, I’ve moved on to the fact his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names

[ohemaa-warrior]

Alfredo was a name before it was a sauce let’s go over the movie from the top again

[dappercyborg]

This is Alfredo di Lelio (right) the inventor of fettuccine Alfredo, he’d come out to the table and make it in front of you by hand

Great post everyone. Hit the showers.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

I know this is such an old post but I’ve never been able to get over the “his mother was going through her cupboard for baby names” bc Alfredo is such a normal-ass mundane name in Italian (and also Spanish). And the worst part is that like. His name *is* a pasta pun but the part that turns it into a pun is the “Linguini” part, not the “Alfredo” part.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

It’s like if there was an american character named Joseph Sloppyson as a reference to sloppy joes but the part of his name that made me go “wait he’s called WHAT???” was the “Joseph” part.

We actually have no evidence on whether or not diplodocus causes gonorrhea.

For various reasons the scientific community is not inclined to expose live diplodocus to enough test subjects to determine whether or not it causes gonorrhoea.

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

via reddit

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

All of those people around him are demons

[chemicallywrit]

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?

[foone]

Fun fact: they did leave Pompeii! It's estimated that the population pre-eruption was something like 20,000, and the most likely number of dead in is in the range of 1,500-4,000. So most people just did leave Pompeii, it's just that not everyone left or could leave.

[fuckinnear]

[toskarin]

I'd have still left. the human body is capable of wonderful things in the face of danger

[crowteeth]

A lot of people died in the boats tho:/

[toskarin]

I would have paddled away quickly

[toskarin]

I take pretty hot baths so I think I'd be able to last a little longer than the average person

[demonicseries]

The scariest thing about pyroclastic flow is that if you can see it, no matter how far away it is, there is no possible way of surviving

[toskarin]

I've done incredible things. I think you'd be surprised.

[toskarin]

I know a lot about the volcano. they could learn much from me.

[slurpygunch]

you should teach them

[toskarin]

I will.

[toskarin]

everyone who has ever died from anything is an idiot. I wouldn't have done that.

[toskarin]

perhaps this could be chalked up to poor diet? I don't think explosions alone can do that.

[at-the-sign-of-the-fox-n-phoenix]

their brains became AEROSOLS IN THEIR SKULLS.

[toskarin]

what?? no

[at-the-sign-of-the-fox-n-phoenix]

correction, some of their brain cells turned to glass, unless you want to bitch about the Smithsonian's knowledge base. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mount-vesuvius-turned-mans-brain-cells-glass-180976073/

[toskarin]

that just doesn't sound correct. they should verify this information

[pink-thing-enjoyer]

How about if instead of encouraging them we instead CHALLENGE them to survive a fictional catastrophe

Like there's no way this bozo is surviving the fires of ibis

[toskarin]

not only could I survive that, but I could do it a second time

[toskarin]

I mean they were pretty stupid for staying at a volcano during an eruption. the volcano is the most dangerous place to be, in that sort of scenario

[for-the-urizen]

What you seem to not understand is that when volcanoes erupt the way Mount Vesuvius did, your survival is dependant on whether or not you're close enough to a ship when it happens. It doesn't matter how smart you are, your IQ cannot outrun a catastrophic volcanic eruption. If you're going to criticize them for anything, it should be their decision to settle near an active volcano in the first place.

[toskarin]

as was previously established, my large IQ can outrun many things, so I do not imagine a volcano would be that much more difficult

Ok troll OP let’s go.

Pline the Old was on a boat in Stabies when the explosion happened. And he die.

At SIXTEEN KILOMETERS.

Can you run more than 16 kilometers in one minute?

[toskarin]

probably

[emu-lumberjack]

Ok but like what about the dogs are you saying you wouldn’t go back for your dogs

[toskarin]

why are the dogs in pompeii. there's a volcano there. they shouldn't be. not my dogs

[bonnie-bug]

to be fair they didnt know what a volcano was until mt vesuvius erupted, they thought it was just a big hill

it’d be like the rocky mountains suddenly exploding with zero warning aside from some earthquakes

[toskarin]

it was a plinian eruption and they literally had two expert plinies to help them, and I could do it with zero, so they have no excuses

[imic-pronounced-immick]

I think they should have just gotten into a vehicle and locked the doors. Mud vs (metal) car, the winner should be obvious.

[toskarin]

it would be a long time before cars were invented so they would have to use a horse back then, but otherwise you are mostly correct

Yes, AND Biden has not reinstated protections AND his administration silently removed germ testing

USDA cut back on listeria testing nationwide, ahead of deadly Boar's Head outbreak

Officials claim the changes "had no bearing" on Boar's Head's now-shuttered plant.

So it's BOTH.

Please always remember that it is, indeed, both.

[chryza]

Listen i'm not here to suck off the biden admin or anything, it's a fucking abysmal power structure, but it's worth noting that the biden administration sought to increase funding for the USDA and the FDA this year. And it was blocked by the GOP Majority House. xx Several Dems called it out as being irresponsible, saying that this exact thing would happen. This was a huge thing when it happened. (For those who don't know, the fiscal year starts on October 1)
