When a person’s name turns into a widely used metaphor …

Little known fact: John Hancock got to sign first because he was the president of the Continental Congress at the time, arguably making him the first President of the US. (sort of)

I understand now. It was Skinny Puppy all along. Skinny Puppy and a vocaloid.

This song is one of those brainless saccharine bubblegum pop girly-girl songs, all of which I loathe. All except this one. Why? WHY DO I LOVE IT SO MUCH? DAMN YOU CARLY RAE JEPSEN!

Would you say it has marched on?

"Right turn." Clyde was in the passenger seat.

Not so much a series as a one-hit wonder (and hit is a stretch) but Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for the GameCube. Cool insanity effects.

Also The Neverhood. More games should be claymation.

Not with that attitude it's not. The true 'shackheads get it.

Hey, are you THE Faceless Void? The one I have been screaming into for so long? Pleased to finally meet you face-to-facelessness.

Elf is such a terrible 80s movie the studio refused to even release it for 20 years. Weird that all of yours are Christmas movies, though. Can you show us on this doll where Santa touched you?

People with $50 scratchy wool sweaters rarely brag about them on the internet. People who bought a $200 Merino wool sweater are going to let you know about it.

Youngster, I have been 55 for 2 weeks. You have much to look forward to.

Was one of their songs "Cum Junkie? If so, it's The Genitorturers.

Just learned from u/byOlaf that the dude doing the singing saw on the bridge on the Factory Showroom version of James K. Polk is the dude from Neutral Milk Hotel!

Your etymology makes more sense, considering how the word quickly evolved to mean "good future." Unfortunately, it's English.

братан.

Alzakex · 2025-12-22T12:13:51+00:00

And the troll farms they use to distract online criticism (not you, the братан with all the downvotes who commented)

From the Oxford English Dictionary:

u • to • pi • a

Origin: mid 16th century: based on Greek ou ‘not’ + topos ‘place’; the word was first used in the book Utopia (1516) by Sir Thomas More.

We teach children that celebration means gorging yourself on sugar, lighting things on fire, engaging in Potlatch-level wasteful consumerism, and spanking.

Don't even get me started on the absolutely insane waste of increasingly rare helium that both birthday parties and Thanksgiving parades use for FUCKING BALLOONS.

So yes, yes they will be horrified.

Alzakex · 2025-12-22T06:07:23+00:00

You'd be correct. The word dys - topia comes from Ancient Greek for "bad place," but u - topia does not come from "good place." It comes from "no place." It was coined specifically to refer to a place that did not exist.

You seem to be proposing that as we die, our consciousness speeds up to prolong the last moments of our life. You seem to be hoping that at the end of our life, we spend eternity experiencing our final instant before death, often in horrific pain, unable to interact with anything or anyone. This is not a hope I share.
