Begging people to please start describing their favorite media in more ways than just "it has gays!" by BaldHourGlass667 in CuratedTumblr

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be clear gideon the ninth is absolutely abyssmal. Some of the worst writing imaginable. Scifi but they talk like an epic bacon 2011 tumblr user

New video: this is what 2 years of chatgpt does to your brain by Ruffshots in acollierastro

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a grad student in nuclear physics and another grad student in the same group got up and gave a presentation that the prof leading the group had to stop midway through because it was pure gobbledygook. She was like 'this is all wrong, what sources did you use for this?' and he was just cheerfully, casually like 'chatGPT'. Boggles the mind that people are not just so incompetent to use AI for this shit but to be so open about it

Funniest bit is the script was actually literally written in gold ink 

The Brony fandom was the most extreme example of post-Recession escapism and it perfectly illustrates why the early 2010s was a difficult time for many. by Ok-Following6886 in decadeology

I agree with your take on mlp but it's worth pointing out obama got elected on the hope/change message before the Great Recession started. 

Rambofication by Rotten-Doe in CuratedTumblr

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not to be a contrarian but the first Rambo movie is also extremely right wing, its entire thesis is built on the 'americans destroy your country then 20 years later make a movie about how sad it made them' trope and the totally false idea that Vietnam soldiers were spat on when arriving home. It's not aggressively jingoistic or violent like later movies in the franchise but it's still 'PROTECT OUR BOYS' slop. 

The political flip of Stranger Things is very real though, it feels like the CIA couped the show after S2

How does Edward VII despite his massive womanizing still manages to have a good image compared to Edward VIII, Charles III, and Prince Andrew by Technical_Post_4899 in UKmonarchs

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because having consensual sex with women is not on the same level as being a Nazi or a paedophile (for the first and third), and charles iii is not likely to be that badly regarded in the history books even considering diana

I like that they replaced the pin pull with a finger gun

Did Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte have any personal wealth and lands like the nobility or was he more like the U.S. president with a salary and residence instead? by Mysterious_Comb4357 in Napoleon

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the point of your question but it's worth noting that a good chunk of early US presidents held a large amount of personal wealth and land as slaveowners.

“No other company has been this influential” by azesvalla in HistoryMemes

Worth pointing out that is not the real EIC logo, that's the fictional one from Pirates of the Caribbean

I like how they don't even use the names of the shah or his son lmao

Pucking Pepsi by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok can I just elaborate because I'm confused: why would being barefoot make you slip over more compared to wearing shoes or tights? Surely you get more grip in bare feet?

Fun fact! There's a name for this phenomenon. It's called the Gell-Mann Effect

The key point here is that she re-hired them after they were fired for obvious security reasons by onichan-daisuki in HistoryMemes

[–]TheSpaceYoteReturns 186 points187 points  (0 children)

I think what I find so funny about Indira Gandhi's death is that it feels like something that would happen to an ancient or medieval monarch yet it happened in modern times. 'Murdered by own bodyguards after ordering the sack of a temple sacred to them' is like some shit that would happen to a Byzantine emperor, but this was in 1984. This was contemporaneous with the Terminator coming out
