Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.

[taraxippos]

Looking at the tags so far I’m kind of fascinated by how much the ‘I Love You’ parodies vary in their phrasing/murder weapons but the ‘Joy to the World’ ones are nearly identical

[karvina]

here is my collection of barney murder songs as they appeared in the notes and comments of this post at about 4 pm pacific 7/25, somewhat arbitrarily color coded to show similar memes. it appears that "baseball bat and 2x4" is the mode configuration but there is so much variation that that exact phrasing only makes up a small part of the set. if i knew more about statistical modeling i would turn this into some kind of data tree that shows which phrases are most likely to follow other phrases.

My brother was young enough to be in elementary school during the Barney days.

He came home siging:

I hate you, you hate me, we need psychotherapy...

[linnealurks]

My children's version, circa 2006:

I hate you, you hate me

Let's go out and kill Barney

With a big shotgun, shoot him in the head

Bang bang bang, now Barney's dead

[beggars-opera]

But what about:

On top of Old Smokey

Where the skies are so blue

I shot Barney's head off

With my .22?????

#okay i want to know what the global spread of this is#because we were singing this in New Zealand#not pre-internet but like#my family did not have a home computer when i was singing this

Most definitely this was happening pre-internet. I grew up during the early, all-encompassing boom of this character in the mid 1990s, and if I remember the height of Barney hatred peaked roughly 1st-2nd grade, 1997 or so. And we weren't the first, I'm sure.

video description

A split screen video with a white man with short hair on the left, a blank cream wall on the right. The man on the left says "When. when your dog eats-" He is interrupted by himself on the right mockingly repeats "When your dog eats" before turning to face the camera and saying "Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq war". The video changes to 16 squares of the man saying "Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq war", audio from each layered over each-other. The top middle right square cocks his head as he says it.

First Steps (1890) by Vincent van Gogh

YOU DO NOT GET TO LEAVE THIS IN THE TAGS.

[seeking-elsewhither]

HERE IT IS!!!

[the-bibrarian]

The reason it is not as well known as other paintings by Van Gogh is probably because it’s actually a « copy » of a drawing by Jean-François Millet, an artist he admired greatly.

I put copy in quotation marks because the two artworks are very different. Van Gogh made 21 copies after Millet’s works from the asylum in Saint-Remy, and he called them « translations ».

The original title of the painting posted by op is actually First steps, after Millet.

Here’s the drawing that inspired him :

First steps, c. 1859-66, Jean-François Millet

I don't think people on the West Coast understand how much denser and multipolar the US is east of the Mississippi

[queer-as-city-folk]

[queer-as-city-folk]

The reason there are more train lines and proposals on the east coast is because there are more cities and people on the East Coast

Please check out the links for more information on these maps and data sources, but I found them very interesting to compare alongside the original maps in this post.

The soil pH is also another major factor:

Because everything in that magenta area needs extra acid added to grow just about anything.

[ilikesallydonovan]

Are we sure that's a pH map? Because pH goes from 0 to 14 (for soil purposes we're talking more 5 to 8 in most areas), so that's definitely not the right scale used on the map for it to be pH.

[rovermcfly]

The map is from this website and described as showing "Basic soils with pH > 7" so it's the percentage (from 0-100%) of the soil with a pH over 7
