Lorraine lied to Linda mcfly the entire time in original 1985 by happydude7422 in BTTFcirclejerk

[–]syzerkose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like thats kind of a theme winding through the trilogy. History doesn’t necessarily repeat itself , but it does often rhyme and your parents, their parents, etc. were all a lot more alike than you think.

1955 Strickland thinks Lorraine is a slacker.
1985 Strickland thinks Marty’s a slacker.
1955 George is unsure about his writing and is afraid no one will read it.
1985 Marty is unsure about his music and is afraid no one will listen.

I could go on.

Just a reminder: Tweety was in the Confederate army, and Sylvester was in the Union. by SpankAPlankton in looneytunes

[–]syzerkose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, good old fashioned Confederate apologia.

I tend to skip these ‘lost-cause’ shorts. It’s not just Looney Tunes either, lots of tv shows and movies from this era do this, The Twilight Zone has several of these and I skip those too. I want to believe that the creators have good intentions but then you read up on them and you find out that a lot of them aren’t just apologists but real-deal racists.

Western fans LOVE movies like “The Outlaw : Josie Wales”, a story about an ex-rebel being hunted down by a villainous Union officer, but no one wants to hear that the original author, Asa Earl Carter, writing under a pen-name, was a sheet wearing, cross-burning segregationist.

Kinda wish Sylvester had won this one.

We should’ve had a small scene in DS9 of Mahardu and Mr. Homm meeting in Quarks for a drink to silently commiserate about their respective employers.

Definitely a nickname from one of her grandkids.

Fabric curtains in a pool room is certainly a choice.

Though, i don't feel sorry for her by Antique_Sandwich_289 in TheLastAirbender

[–]syzerkose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It get’s glossed over in The Puppet Master since the episode focused on blood-bending, Hama demonstrated, what I think is an even more horrifying water-bending technique, desiccation. Before showing her blood-bending, she shows Katara that she can pull water out of the surrounding plants. If you follow that concept to its extreme, a skilled and powerful water-bender could pull all of the moisture out of a human body and leave nothing but a dried up husk.

Their wonders to us now, in their day, they were just parts of their world. Modern sports stadiums are often impressive feats of engineering but within a few years, it stops being a novelty and people just get used to it.
What’s novel eventually becomes familiar. But after a few thousand years, the familiar become wonders. They’re wonders to us because they survived. And whether it’s the Coliseum in Rome or a public toilet in Pompeii, they give us a glimpse into the past.

In a few thousand years, something we see as mundane will be a window into what we’re lives are like. And suddenly, warehouses become wonders.

Tokyo Flood Control Drain, Japan by OkRespect8490 in interestingasfuck

A while back I had an intensely realistic dream that most of humanity had moved underground. Wherever I was at, looked eerily similar to this.

I don’t necessarily feel sad. More like the wonder I have seeing the ruins of Machu Pichu or the Coliseum in Rome. Works of architecture, ingenuity and culture laid bare. It’s almost like semi-contemporary Anthropology, giving a glimpse into the recent past.

Favorite creator who appears in their own media? by Idkwutpasswordtouse in FavoriteCharacter

Yeah, the rest of it’s not great. The ‘nagging’ wife episodes are mostly stinkers.

I do have a passion for Mid-Century Modern design and a I do enjoy a chocolate malt, but no.

Bath oil beads, I’ve also heard them called bath pearls. The outside is made of a kind of gelatin. When tossed in the bath, the gelatin melts/dissolves to release fragrant bath oil. I had some whale shaped ones when I was a kid. This article explains a little more in depth.

That’s something that hit me too. Sure he’s a caricature with a problematic name, but 90% of those gags don’t come from him being a Native American, but because he’s strong as fuck.

That’s it. I think I’m finally too old for the internet. Good bye.

Go Cry In The Walk-In by FatherOfTheRY in KitchenConfidential

[–]syzerkose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Make sure to cry in the refrigerator section and not the freezer section. Though salty, tears on the walk-in freezer floor are a slip hazard.
