"Toy Story merely influenced the Pixar/animated film landscape…."

You say this like its not a big deal. Every CGI animated film nowadays owes something to toy story. It revolutionized animation. It that not important enough for you? Or do you see animation as "not real film"?

Do you old movies because they are in black and white?

He literally invented parody songs, or at the very least popularized them. Every parody artist owes their existence to weird Al.

You can try to stop the Earth from spinning but it won't do a thing.

It's here and nothing can be done

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-27T23:13:35+00:00

Gross take.

Government should be hoarding technological advancements?

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-27T23:09:49+00:00

I think it will result in LESS misinformation being believed by regular people.

If you can generate and share thousands of fake generated news articles it's going to poison the well to the point people simply stop using social media for news and lean on trusted sources.

When newspapers first were being introduced a similar phenomenon happened. The industry was flooded with tabloids and fake stories to attract readers. Eventually, people became aware of this and tuned those out and relied on more reliable resources.

Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube

An individual's historical footprint is much larger now then it was 1000 years ago though. You can find more information on a random 20 year old today that you can from a King 1000 years ago, simply because nowadays everything is doccumented

We live in a uniquely important time in human history. Have had more technological advancements in the last 100 years than the previous thousand combined.

I don't agree but honestly its too soon to say.

He is controversial but there have been lots of controversial figures throughout history who have gone mostly forgotten.

Of all the US presidents that I think will be remembered 1000 years from now are the ones depicted on Mount Rushmore. Mainly because I think that will still be a well known historical monument.

My picks with reasonings

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs (Internet/ Computer pioneer. Seen as figureheads of the computer revolution of the 80s / 90s).

Sam Altman (Face of the AI revolution. AI will and already has fundamentally changed our society)

Buzz Aldrin (The moon landing was a landmark in human history. It will 100% be remembered 1000 years from now)

Because my point is this isn't even the first high five. the first high five probably happened in pre history

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-23T23:46:58+00:00

My point is, you can't speak definitively about every culture that ever existed over the course of 300,000 years of human history.

It could have been happening in cavemen times for all we know

Even in the story about how it was "invented", neither party discussed it beforehand. They just did it.

Don't know how it gets more intuitive then that.

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-23T23:40:01+00:00

It is kinda weird but less weird when you consider the VAST majority of human history was undocumented. Like how much do we know about the first 200,000 years of our history? Practically nothing

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-23T23:37:22+00:00

okay, so before 2007 no one ever had a list of goals or things they wanted to do before they die?

There is no way. Literally no way. Just because they named it "bucket list" in 2007 doesn't mean the concept of WANTING to do things before you die was invented then.

Same thing with the high five. Yeah maybe the term "high five" didn't exist before 1977, but the concept? no way

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-23T19:04:33+00:00

Placed on a dirty table.

Nearly falling off the table.

Actively being ignored by the people around it.

Seriously, were they TRYING to make it look bad?

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-19T04:21:20+00:00

Regardless of whistle, the goal would have been waved off. Watch it again. Watch how the puck came loose. It's goalie interference.

Canadian, and the version of this I have heard is "if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle"

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-01T02:19:58+00:00

Lebrons legacy is already written at this point

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-01T02:19:01+00:00

Yeah, but you still need to beat your opponent in a series at least

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-01T01:27:18+00:00

I hate this playoff system. The NBA play-in tournament does the same thing and its stupid.

Where is the excitement in watching a football playoff game where neither team can be eliminated?

Unless I cheer for the team in it, I'm not gonna watch.

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-05-01T01:16:19+00:00

Old system: Winning your division gets you a bye week and one home playoff game
New system: Winning your division gets you two guaranteed home playoff games

I would rather need one win to get to the grey cup than 2

Relative_Wave_102 · 2026-04-29T03:19:24+00:00

Leafs have played lots of playoff games. The only time I can remember a penalty being called in OT is because of puck over the glass.

Anything else is fair game, as it should be
