This is quite unfortunate. I was writing a poem the other day that was really cool and shit. So I shared my kickass poem with my best friend. She really liked it, and then said she was a big Star Wars fan too. Apparently, I had unwittingly written the opening text crawl thing for a movie called Star Wars Episode I. And yes, I checked to make sure that they wrote it first. I hate it when that happens!

Same. I once wrote about what it would be like in the future where humanity placed their differences aside and explored the stars. They encountered new worlds and new alien civilisations. They boldly went to places where no one went before.
To my suprised this copy cat named Gene or whatever copied all my work 60 years ago and died without even apologizing. The nerve of some people.

Jesus. This is so much bigger than I had thought. People enchanting the spirits so that they can preemptively take credit for and profit from our work is a serious issue. We should form an action group. We could call ourselves People Against Dead Poets Society.

I just wrote The Brothers Karamazov, has anyone else done that one, yet?

There is a combination of sounds that could perfectly describe advanced technology capable of ending world hunger and suffering. Verbal communication is like spells. All words have an effect on our mind and emotions, it’s just that most word’s effects are too small to notice. There could be some perfect combination of word’s that resonate with everyone and brings about world peace.

Are those words the lyrics to Argent’s God Gave Rock and Roll To You as covered by two idiots?
MowFord@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thought I recognized that as the plot to a movie

There are also combinations of sounds and words that completely counter the words that could end world hunger and suffering. They are in perfect balance with one another which is why nothing ever changes.
Be careful with upsetting the balance … it may shift towards utopia for everyone, or complete chaos and destruction for everything.

We’re not monkeys, we’re apes. Different taxonomic families.
lugal@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The group that includes all monkeys and excludes apes is paraphyletic which is avoided in modern taxonomy. Either use it in a way that includes all simians or don’t use it at all. Either way, it’s a higher order than “family”

No. It’s plastic. We were born into this world to create plastic. God just wants us to produce plastic.
