It’s pretty good, one of only a handful of shows that I can tolerate rewatching. The humor in unrepentant assholes constantly getting their comeuppance is pretty timeless.

Curse your birth elsewhere, buddy. Take your genital loving ass over to the inguinal photo communities while me and the boys continue to peruse hands and earlobes to our hearts’ content.

See, I had a 6 cd rack for burning but I never learned why it was called burning. Every time I asked in irc, they said something to the effect of “head to the doctor, you should get that looked at.” Any kind lemming care to elucidate me?

“Carla! Carla! What the fuck is this? I know you sleep on a 25. A 25 or a 30 if you fuck up swiping. I know for a fucking fact that you would NEVER choose to sleep on a 60, and yet I found a goddamn record of a 60 when I was out last week. Who was it? Who was here?”
I really can’t see any other reason. A dial isn’t sexy but it’s far easier in every way

I always wondered what it would look like if you took Eastern European donuts and make them bigger. They look delicious!
- Comment on Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd 1 week ago:
I’d eat a coffee mug shaped donut, but a waffle would hold up better. An elephant ear is fine as well, but a crepe is right out.
- Comment on Cartoon Physics IRL 1 week ago:
It’s a cartoon so fantastical elements are always going to appear. I’ve never witnessed a cat plotting how to distract a mouse’s big, tough country cousin just long enough to eat him, either

Santa should publish previous years’ nice and naughty lists for historical reference
- Comment on Cartoon Physics IRL 1 week ago:
To paraphrase an enlightening post from an unenlightened place, many older cartoons were drawn or directed by people with real experiences to share. Their goal was to give their memories new texture upon a screen. Adventures and heartbreak and love and motion and landscapes pulled from within themselves. Because of the sheer amount of accrued media, some modern cartoons come not from experiences but from producing animations in the style of modern animations.
Like AI collapse, if you feed cartoons to cartoonists indefinitely, you end up with animation that looks like a cartoon rather than a cartoon that looks like something. It’s funny to notice visual tropes becoming standard
- Comment on Meta is removing its Messenger apps for Windows and macOS 1 week ago:
Considering the unrelenting data snatching capacity of the desktop app, there are only 3 plausible reasons Facebook, a company so maliciously money hungry that it might just prove the absence of god, would choose to deprecate it
1: something is fundamentally wrong with the app and they feel they are liable for greater damages than their profits from the it.
2: they’ve improved their data collection on browsers to the point that both methods are equal
3: they don’t believe they need the additional profits. (This one sincerely terrified me)

Is this a WW2 joke in the form of a cake gender reveal? That’s a lot of layers
- Comment on Public service announcement 1 week ago:
It’s a borrowed African word. Borrowed in the 1800s. Borrowed by Americans. Borrowed. But it eventually shifted at some point in the last century to the definition most people are familiar with, though I can’t figure out how or why.

Another name for a peanut. Not sure how it became a soft pejorative, but I’m a fan

Just between you and me, I’ve been known to peruse them as well.

I agree with you, but you have to put forward a point that doesn’t stand atop misunderstanding a citation, or else I’ll name you another foodstuff

The paper from 1942 was meant to establish a long standing social curiosity about the topic, you goober.

There are plenty of articles about the phenomenon, but this one covers the interpersonal portions pretty well
- Comment on Public service announcement 1 week ago:
Alright, so you’re looking at a hot man or woman. You recognize that their characteristics are attractive. Maybe you like big titties, maybe you like developed delts, maybe you like a nice set of hands. Most anyone who sees these will say something to the effect of “oh yeah, those are fine body parts. I have no issue viewing them.”
Genitalia, on the other hand, are not one of the most attractive parts on a person. Just look at the sort of pelvic accessory you’re not interested in (bi people, I’m sorry) and you’ll pretty quickly realize that they’re just no fun to look at. When you get closer and you’re hit with acidic or ammonia-esque scents, it only gets worse.
In order to get around the minor issue of procreation avoidance, a portion of your brain chimes in and says “well actually, it’s not so bad. Give it a chance.” Consider the difference between your perceptions before and after puberty, if you’d care to understand on a human level. (Ace people, I’m sorry) Or check out more articles if you’d like to study this a bit further.

This is only barely relevant, but it’s always funny to me that we had to develop completely separate processing systems to account for the fact that genitalia look weird. Their appearances are so strange that you’d rather avoid them, if not for the portion of your brain that deadens your disgust. The meat hole and the yam-mushroom. Not nature’s finest works.

Huh, so he’s attempting to create a caste of conspicuously president-aligned workers. That seems like an interesting and not-at-all dangerous idea
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
Niche history and mineralogy topics. Just looking for threads to tug. I found that it offered me threads but they often did not lead anywhere relevant or outright did not exist. Which is fine, but kinda removes my need for AI. If I have a general purpose question, I check certain websites. I already know how to serve myself everyday information. AI’s just not helpful for my use case.
Overall, It’s time neutral. But it raises my blood pressure when it hallucinates, and dying of a stroke is undesirable for me.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 1 week ago:
I don’t know about you, but my results have been wrong or outdated at least a quarter of the time. If you flip two coins and both are heads, your information is outright useless. What’s the point in looking something up to maybe find the right answer?
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I noticed it a few months ago. It feels like a sudden, inorganic shift. Either all the good people have trickled off to a better basin, or someone or something has influenced Lemmy users
- Comment on ‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat 2 weeks ago:
Frankly, I used to be on board with folks like this. The world felt immutable to my brief consciousness, and joking about genocide, slavery, and, oddly enough, mandatory Pictionary nights punishable by firing squad, seemed harmless. It was all equally acceptable absurdism, in our eyes. I worry that these kids don’t see the world as an unchanging place where their ideas float around with all the weight of a butterfly. I fear they see their voices as bricks to heave and build. That terrifies me.

Well yes, I used hyperbole to make a point about foods that are actively killing your people, and you became irate. Remind me never to show you my fishing pictures
- Comment on OPM S3 is going to be great ok? 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand of animation, plenty of people in the industry were involved with animated porn at one point or another. Hell, some of the artists might head home at the end of the day to draw something freaky for their online following. Particularly because animation studios don’t pay well.

You speak as though I’ve personally offended you. You’re not you when you’re hungry. Grab a snickers, a candy bar that sends my gut tumbling
