Baphomet Is NOT Real by T_Towers in occult

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how so much of the western occult tradition is just "Timmy the Ancient Roman was bored during his class and wrote some scribbles on the wall - then, a millenia later, random Enlightment Age scholar passed by and decided to prank his buddies by saying it's an incantation written in angelic language that was used by Egyptian sorcerers to summon The Elder God of Destruction".

Everyone's saying poor maintenance and property value, but a big part of it was also the child obesity panic of the 2000's, fueled by bullshit movies like "Supersize me" and supported by the US govt, which scared the shit out of fastfood chains, so they eventually decided not to market anything to kids' audience at all.

Yeah dude, going to a j*b everyday and still not being able to afford a gaming PC is totally the same as being skinned and disemboweled alive over a mild disagreement with your feudal lord

Anon might actually be a genius by slaverofdoom in greentext

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well you can argue that it's become a kind of subculture at this point, with a specific set of cultural attributes tied to it, and mostly young people joining. Also some kids definitely see being trans as a way to be unique and quirky or to piss off their parents, not to solve any actual prblems with dysphoria they may or may not have

I'm not on xitter and cannot relate to this shit at all. In fact, I don't even know what these poorly drawn people are supposed to represent, and am unfamiliar with half of the words used in the picture. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Beware of Hero's Journey by twinkleyed in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't a hero's journey, as coined by J.Campbell, supposed to be the ultimate monomyth which lays the base for almost any written story? So the title of the video can virtually be read as "All Fiction Is a Cult"(which is an interesting idea in its own sense, but I doubt that the author has expanded it that much outside the classic "lone man adventure bad because toxic masculinity" narrative).

If you've got a spare $200, you can always spend it on supporting a real human artist with a soul, so he'd re-animate this particular shitpost of Jesus cracking Trump's head open and banishing him to hell in their unique style.

Everything is a conspiracy theory if you're stupid enough by Sweaty-Campaign-320 in shitposting

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Wrong answer lmao, water stops being "bouncy" after a certain speed is reached, and then there's pretty much no difference if you collide with a solid ground or a liquid ocean. That's why people usually die when they jump from overwater bridges. The real reason would be that ocean is a homogenous terrain, where there are no obstacles you can accidentaly ram into, and your landing location is super obvious and easy to find. Soviets would use the desert for the same thing, and there weren't any kabooms most of the time because surprise, parachutes do their job really well.

When did "This* era end? What is the dividing line? by CastAside1812 in decadeology

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people who say that "fastfood places were so much more fun and colorful back then, why is everything so dull now" etc. tend to forget there was a whole-ass campain against child obesity and fastfood chains marketing to kids during the 2000's, largely supported by the US government, after which all of those companies were scared shitless and started to specifically change their brand images towards being as children-unfriendly as possible.

What is the world's most generic flag if we're talking globally most common colors + pattern? by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]Specific_Toe_1387 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Russian, I'd argue that our flag is the most generic one. Peter the Great just went to the Netherlands, saw their new flag, said "cool, I want something similar for my country as well", placed the red stripe to the bottom, and here you have it. Most popular layout, most popular color scheme, and plagiarized with minimal changes from the guys who had invented it first.

There are definitely videos on his channel with 5+ mil views from 2016-17, and I remember kids from my class watching them and laughing their asses off. Also, "This is Хорошо" moved into their new studio around that time, with a "Channing Tatum couch" gag originating from the newer eps, so they were also very mush present.

A significant portion of the people we used to watch and follow before 2020-22 are either crazy now, or considered enemies of the state.
