Having electricity in my home is so great. Most of the humans that have ever lived didn't have this.

urban cyber grunge is when you are a piece of shit who goes out side at night during winter and takes a pic of a street lamp and whispers “fuck yes.. im posting this to my fuckedup side blog with no followerz” then you browse the internet and laugh about bitcoins. you love being a pice of shit. you love urban cyber grunge

i am always one wrong word away from being shot by all the people who find me tolerable

[translatingpoststogerman]

himmelblauerhimmel

ich bin immer ein falsches wort davon entfernt von all den leuten erschossen zu werden die mich erträglich finden

Notes:

In German, when someone is being shot, you have to specify whether they were merely wounded ("angeschossen") or shot to death ("erschossen").

[anonymousalchemistz]

I do like that given the opportunity to specify, you did choose to kill op

[translatingpoststogerman]

I assumed that's what op intended

I don't think we give The Beatles enough credit for the fact they wrote one of the first metal songs ever (Helter Skelter) and it's about having a fun time at the playground

[bisexualmack]

Like dgmw I think if anything the Beatles get too much credit for inventing metal and I don't think one (1) song invented the entire genre, but it was definitely an influence for a lot of metal bands later.

HOWEVER. I don't think we acknowledge the fact Helter Skelter is literally a song about going down a slide enough. A proto metal banger and it's about going down a slide.

The people who compare using AI to using hard drugs that rot your brain are I guess correct insofar as they are both subjects where people are convinced they're apocalyptic threats to society and simultaneously take active pride in their own viciously defended ignorance about any specific or accurate information on them.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.

[queer-as-city-folk]

The issue with factories is poor wages, unsafe working conditions and environmental impact, all of which can be fixed through things like regulatory bodies and unions, the issue is not the fact that goods are no longer all made at home

[markovchaingang]

disgust response should have no bearing on your moral compass? that sounds like the sort of thing only a weirdo sex criminal would say. don't you realise your opinion is outside of the norm (and thus inherently wrong)?

[sigmaleph]

i like to imagine how people in the post-material-scarcity future would romanticise the current time period.

having a job gave people a sense of community and purpose lacking in our modern age where nobody is forcing you to get out of bed on threat of starvation. actually the average office worker in the early 21st century was so much wealthier than a UBI-having-modern if you forget to count paying rent and also make some very bad purchasing power conversions. if you look at contemporary records (sitcom where the main characters are only at work when it's plot relevant) it is obvious that employment was never really a major obstacle to having an active social life or pursuing your own passions.

[prokopetz]

I know this is due to my particular constellation of interests, but for me the funniest thing about the "everything in a given century happened simultaneously" view of history being applied to the 1900s is bumping into increasing numbers of people who are genuinely unclear on whether Dungeons & Dragons pre-dates or post-dates The Lord of the Rings.

tolkien had to call them hobbits to avoid running afoul of Hasbro's trademark of the word 'halfling'

[luarien]

It was TSR's trademark of the word 'halfling', Hasbro didn't get control of D&D until after the end of WW2.

On this day in 1969, the Apollo 11 mission landed on the Moon. 🌙 And back on Earth, an estimated 600 million people watched this historic moment live on television—roughly one-fifth of the world’s population at that time! The mission had three crew members: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Collins piloted the craft that would return them to Earth, while Armstrong and Aldrin became the first two people ever to walk the Moon’s surface.

medieval peasants actually had access to far more Doritos than we do nowadays

we should mandate industrial themed nonbinary names to balance out all of the people naming themselves after trees. throw Anvil into the mix

All fantasy authors wish they had a bigger bathtub in their house. You can tell by every bathing scene ever written into a fantasy novel

Step back everyone. This post requires the delicate touch of an annoying gimmick blog

[klapollo]

various tv, film, and theater producers for the last 50 years smacking themselves in the forehead like fuuuuck how can we make it easy to understand why carrie is alienated from her peers and callously bullied at school WITHOUT making her a hideous fatass like in the book
