It’s pretty good, one of only a handful of shows that I can tolerate rewatching. The humor in unrepentant assholes constantly getting their comeuppance is pretty timeless.

Curse your birth elsewhere, buddy. Take your genital loving ass over to the inguinal photo communities while me and the boys continue to peruse hands and earlobes to our hearts’ content.

See, I had a 6 cd rack for burning but I never learned why it was called burning. Every time I asked in irc, they said something to the effect of “head to the doctor, you should get that looked at.” Any kind lemming care to elucidate me?

“Carla! Carla! What the fuck is this? I know you sleep on a 25. A 25 or a 30 if you fuck up swiping. I know for a fucking fact that you would NEVER choose to sleep on a 60, and yet I found a goddamn record of a 60 when I was out last week. Who was it? Who was here?”
I really can’t see any other reason. A dial isn’t sexy but it’s far easier in every way

I always wondered what it would look like if you took Eastern European donuts and make them bigger. They look delicious!
- Comment on Just answer the question you fuckin' nerd 5 days ago:
I’d eat a coffee mug shaped donut, but a waffle would hold up better. An elephant ear is fine as well, but a crepe is right out.
- Comment on Cartoon Physics IRL 5 days ago:
It’s a cartoon so fantastical elements are always going to appear. I’ve never witnessed a cat plotting how to distract a mouse’s big, tough country cousin just long enough to eat him, either
- Comment on Cartoon Physics IRL 5 days ago:
To paraphrase an enlightening post from an unenlightened place, many older cartoons were drawn or directed by people with real experiences to share. Their goal was to give their memories new texture upon a screen. Adventures and heartbreak and love and motion and landscapes pulled from within themselves. Because of the sheer amount of accrued media, some modern cartoons come not from experiences but from producing animations in the style of modern animations.
Like AI collapse, if you feed cartoons to cartoonists indefinitely, you end up with animation that looks like a cartoon rather than a cartoon that looks like something. It’s funny to notice visual tropes becoming standard

Is this a WW2 joke in the form of a cake gender reveal? That’s a lot of layers
- Comment on Public service announcement 5 days ago:
It’s a borrowed African word. Borrowed in the 1800s. Borrowed by Americans. Borrowed. But it eventually shifted at some point in the last century to the definition most people are familiar with, though I can’t figure out how or why.

Another name for a peanut. Not sure how it became a soft pejorative, but I’m a fan

Objective truth, ungoober’d

Just between you and me, I’ve been known to peruse them as well.

I agree with you, but you have to put forward a point that doesn’t stand atop misunderstanding a citation, or else I’ll name you another foodstuff

The paper from 1942 was meant to establish a long standing social curiosity about the topic, you goober.

There are plenty of articles about the phenomenon, but this one covers the interpersonal portions pretty well

Alright, so you’re looking at a hot man or woman. You recognize that their characteristics are attractive. Maybe you like big titties, maybe you like developed delts, maybe you like a nice set of hands. Most anyone who sees these will say something to the effect of “oh yeah, those are fine body parts. I have no issue viewing them.”
Genitalia, on the other hand, are not one of the most attractive parts on a person. Just look at the sort of pelvic accessory you’re not interested in (bi people, I’m sorry) and you’ll pretty quickly realize that they’re just no fun to look at. When you get closer and you’re hit with acidic or ammonia-esque scents, it only gets worse.
In order to get around the minor issue of procreation avoidance, a portion of your brain chimes in and says “well actually, it’s not so bad. Give it a chance.” Consider the difference between your perceptions before and after puberty, if you’d care to understand on a human level. (Ace people, I’m sorry) Or check out more articles if you’d like to study this a bit further.

This is only barely relevant, but it’s always funny to me that we had to develop completely separate processing systems to account for the fact that genitalia look weird. Their appearances are so strange that you’d rather avoid them, if not for the portion of your brain that deadens your disgust. The meat hole and the yam-mushroom. Not nature’s finest works.

It’s still the modern media format. They sell them beside checkout lines! Piracy aside, there really isn’t any other way to own your media, at present. Everything else is a rescindable contract

I’ve been asked what a dvd is by a teenager. When I amended and said Blu-ray, they still had no clue. It’s only going to get worse.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 1 week ago:
I noticed it a few months ago. It feels like a sudden, inorganic shift. Either all the good people have trickled off to a better basin, or someone or something has influenced Lemmy users

Well yes, I used hyperbole to make a point about foods that are actively killing your people, and you became irate. Remind me never to show you my fishing pictures

You speak as though I’ve personally offended you. You’re not you when you’re hungry. Grab a snickers, a candy bar that sends my gut tumbling
- Comment on Then and Now 1 week ago:
I’m not sure how people can eat the sorts of food that largely lead to obesity. Most foods taste revoltingly sweet to me. You can’t even purchase plain shredded frozen potatoes in the US, as every brand adds sugar. I don’t even enjoy cooking fresh food, it’s just the only thing I can stomach

Don’t tell me how to live my life.
- Comment on Anon shops for diamonds 1 week ago:
Rings are socially relevant demarcations of sexual availability. Diamonds are just shiny rocks. Frankly, rings with any stones in them piss me off. They catch on your clothes and rip your favorite fucking sweater, and it’s laundry day so you can’t even grab something else because your other clothes are soaked in vomit because projectile vomiting all over a crowd is the most reasonable course of action when you’re a dumb asshole dicking around on a balcony on new years, apparently.

Funny enough, this joke works all the way up to d. No wonder the church attempted to make it illegal to sing elsewhere

Depends on who you’d ask, but I don’t believe that was it. No, it was just spontaneous tone shifts as I moved from a topic I didn’t care about to one that I did.

This wasn’t uncommon in pre-digital academia. The number of times I was baselessly accused of plagiarism was ridiculous. For years. Eventually, I decided to start plagiarizing. If I had to fight my professors every other paper, regardless, I might as well do it, right? Papers were quicker to write, objectively worse, and usually accepted without issue. I’m still pissed off.
