thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

Very fascinating type of person i have seen at least twice on tumblr is someone who wants to travel back in time and kill Jesus to stop Christianity in its tracks and therefore prevent the colonization of the Americas, Atlantic slave trade, etc. Like. I don’t think killing him is gonna stop Christianity. In fact, it famously did not.

[king-of-men]

Well, not with that attitude! The problem is that the other time travellers all had weaksauce assassination plans like "make his mother give birth in a stable with no assistance" or "get Herod to kill all the local kids". Pfft. I've done it right: I got the Romans to crucify the fucker. The most painful death known to man, and the most shameful; even the Romans reserved it for slaves and rebels. Let's see his reputation recover from that one!

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of plastics is collapsing

[insomniac-arrest]

Our age of information is collapsing! *remembers generative AI, nods to self* our age of information is collapsing.

I totally sympathize with being angry about an adaptation of something you care a lot about but the way people on here criticize the odyssey movie for not being historically accurate is so fucking obnoxious lmfao. Sometimes the point is not accuracy. Sometimes an artist has ideas they want to explore so they choose a pre-established story as a conduit to express those ideas through. Sometimes the anachronisms are the point, and trying to understand why certain choices were made is 10x more interesting than going “thing wrong so thing bad >:[“

Like you can absolutely disagree with what themes do come through, but holy fuck you guys. You are not the perfect bastions of media literacy you think you are just because you can cinema sins point out every little flaw.

I love not playing along

[gothhabiba]

"she's gained a lot of weight lately" "oh, good for her"

"on the wrong side of 40" "huh, which side is that?"

❗️I am not playing along with you❗️

Maybe the most damming thing about Nolans odyssey is i haven’t seen a single gifset from it

it's not that unusual, in translation, to come across something that has a dedicated word or expression in the source language but requires a lengthier explication in the target text. sometimes, however, it's the other way around! not so much found in the process of translation as found waiting for you in translation.

a very satisfying case, in the very first chapter I picked to translate, was

Gideon would have immediately made plans to ... do up all the buttons on [Harrow's] shirts, making sure that each button went into the hole above the one it was meant to go into.

which is a long description for something that Finnish has a word for:

[Gideon] olisi heti ottanut asiakseen ... napittaa kaikki [Harrow'n] paidat juoponnappiin.

(lit. button her shirts into drunkard's buttons)

"I want children to suffer" is the ultimate flex by red-pilled conservative anti-feminist dorks who are equally racist when screeching about birth rates dropping.

Twice a year in Hawaii the sun passes directly overhead and objects cast no shadow. It’s a phenomenon called “Lahaina Noon”

[phoenix-theurge]

You're full of shit, Hawaiians are just able to levitate coconut milk.

[dirty-noona]

As a Native Hawaiian, 1) I thought this happened everywhere, 2) ofc we can levitate coconut milk
