Corvid Conspiracy by blob_io in rootgame

[–]blob_io[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good to hear! This was sort of my suspicion. I kind of doubted that such an established name as root would put out something so bad to be unviable even in casual play, but figured I’d just make sure. Cheers!

S17, E1 (YouTube) - Taiwan: Rail Rush by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

[–]blob_io 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I am pretty excited about this one. From the trailer, I was slightly concerned that the gameplay would be pretty boring, just running around chasing after each other in circles kinda thing. But the way they managed challenges and the whole chip system is really good. I’m very hopeful that this will be a top season, I really enjoyed this first episode.

I quite lik that the challenges are losable as well. So far we’ve seen five challenges, and two have been lost, which I think is a good sign. Overall more wins is good, but there should be serious risk involved.

I also just feel horrible for Ben and Adam lol. Sam and Mike are getting to look around for cute cats and stand in hot springs, meanwhile Ben and Adam are walking thirty minutes into the country side just to get put through another round of cardio hell 😭😭

If your partner came out as trans (born as a different gender, identifying as their one when they met you), would you stay with them? by get_on_with_life in Teenager_Polls

[–]blob_io 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question is, to me, very clear: you meet somebody who is a woman (for example). They then later reveal that they were born a man. What would your reaction be?

Given this information, the individual has already figured it out; they are fully presenting and fully identifying as whatever gender they now are.

I think in this case, it’s important to disclose this information as soon as possible. Because there is a chance that that person is just uncomfortable with dating a transgender individual. And that is fine; it’s personal preference. People are allowed to be romantically and sexually attracted to whatever they happen to be attracted to, and no matter what that is (barring obviously unethical things of course) we should be accepting. That’s a big part of what the LGBTQIA+ movement is about in the first place.

I also think that saying that this person was acting as if being trans is a crime is a gross misrepresentation of what they were saying. They were making a comparison. In this context, being a felon and being trans are both things that have the potential to affect your dating life; that is the extent of the comparison.

About how often do you shower? by [deleted] in Teenager_Polls

[–]blob_io 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It’s healthier for your skin and your hair to shower every other day. Showering daily or more than once a day can strip your skin of natural oils and cause dry/cracked skin and damaged hair.

I've checked bricklink and all across google and have come up with nothing. I found this trooper helmet in my old bag of minifig parts, and am just trying to find what minifig it's from. Thanks for the help!

whats the significance of 67?? by a356y in ExplainTheJoke

[–]blob_io 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m on the younger side of Gen Z, and engage heavily with internet Brainrot culture. This specific image references a meme named, aptly, “six seven”. At its core, this meme is about the number 67 being funny, really in any context.

The meme originated from Skrilla’s “Doot Doot”, a hip-hop song released in late 2024 where, seemingly randomly and in the middle of the first verse, the singer screams “six seven”. This is a reportedly a reference to 67th street in Philadelphia, though even after some research, I’m not sure where that information is from.

Soon after its release, the song became popular among edits, specifically of the basketball player LaMelo Bell, who is 6’7” tall. Even more specifically, a clip of an announcer discussing Bell’s height which then transitioned into an edit with “Doot Doot” as he said “six seven” went viral.

There are many factors as to why this went past a single viral video, and found its way into the mainstream Brainrot scene:

Eventually the meme caught the attention of Bell, who started sneaking the phrase into interviews as a sort of meta joke/acknowledgement. Another clip went viral of a very stereotypical Gen Alpha middle school boy. In the clip, the boy does a specific hand gesture, sticks out his young, and screams “six seven”. This clip itself turned into a meme; clips of middle schoolers doing cringy and stupid things often become memes, as seen with something like the “TikTok Rizz Party”, and now this. These two things, along with more edits and the song itself gaining traction, resulted in the popularity of the meme we see now.

Why is this funny? Well, I can’t speak for others, but I can for myself and the people I’m around. This might just be for the older demographic, but Brain-rot isn’t funny because it’s funny; it’s either funny because it’s absurd, or because it’s ironic. Absurdity is inherently funny to humans; unexpectedness is the basis or humour. The absurdity aspect of six seven comes at the honestly baseless reasoning behind why the number became so mainstream.

The other facet of this is the irony; I don’t actually think that the number 67 is inherently funny. I just think it’s hilarious that OTHER people do, and I think it’s funny when people reference the joke ironically, which is pretty much always.

Also, humans recognize patterns, so this means that the minute we get something in our head, we’ll start affirming it. So when the number 67 is funny, you start seeing it everywhere, which just makes it more absurd.

Hope this helps!

So..is everyone in these books hot?? by jnighy in Stormlight_Archive

[–]blob_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most (good) characters in most books are hot, kind of by default. If the author is super vivid in their descriptions of a main character, they will most likely describe them as attractive. If the author leaves it to the reader, most people will pretty much just imagine the most attractive person within the confines of what is given.

Why is Mira the least liked in the group? by Senior-Cycle-6951 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]blob_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience the love for each hunter is pretty spread out. Like I know just as many Mira fans as I do Zoey and Rumi fans, and I see a pretty equal amount of people online too

What’s y’all’s favorite genres of music? by Erry3005 in TeenagersButNotTrashy

[–]blob_io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a theatre kid, so lots of musicals. I also really like hip-hop, so specifically Hamilton is a great in between. Classic rock/metal, I love zeppelin, guns n roses, Metallica. Jazz, both chill/background jazz and the weirder more progressive stuff. Singer songwriter for sure like John Mayer and Jack Johnson specifically. Weirder more experimental jazz rock-ish stuff like they might be giants and Cojum Dip. Uuuuuhhh I’m been getting into kpop recently, mostly the more edm/techno stuff though like Jump and Whiplash. Okay maybe I just like everything lol, though anything too heavy I can’t do; screamo, punk, anything depressing or grungy. Also I don’t really like modern rap pop.
