I was just listening to this today!
Side note: Neil Cicierega did Ultimate Showdown, Two Trucks Potter Puppet Pals, the Mouth Albums, Brodyquest, AND Ariel Needs Legs. Probably more that I’m forgetting or haven’t seen yet. This guy gets his face twice on internet Mt. Rushmore.
What’s that in the weeds? It’s a baby, awesome!
Loved all of these as a kid but I think 2 is my favorite ;P.
Was thinking about this the other day. How did Larian Studios follow this up with BG3, where you can fuck a bear, with like no controversy?
I feel like the Goose That Laid the Golden Egg is the classic in this genre.
A farmer and his wife wake up one day to find their goose has laid an egg of solid gold. The next day, they wake and find another golden egg.
This continues every day for months and brings them unimagineable wealth. They build a bigger house, buy a bigger herd of livestock, and dress themselves in finer garments. Soon, their goose is known around the country for its remarkable talent.
The farmer, now fully aware of the luxuries he had been missing out on, studied the goose with greed in his eyes. He figured that if the goose laid golden eggs every day, its innards must be filled with more gold than he could imagine.
Deciding that one measly golden egg a day wouldn’t be enough for much longer, the farmer took an axe to the goose, cleaving her in twain. As he dove into the goose’s innards to find the hidden gold, he realized quickly that this goose was the same as all other geese on the inside, and the goose that laid the golden egg was no more.
It’s short and you can’t miss the moral if you try. Aesop was writing that real shit.
Nintendo 64 when you’re sick is the illest shit.
One time I got the flu for a week. That was the week I beat Star Wars Episode I Podracing.
There are other consoles for which I have nostalgic memories, but I never had anything that hit as hard as the N64 again.
This post was meant to suss out the real Bomberfans, but I applaud you for being informative in the comments.
Yeah they probably thought that about Neanderthals too, and here we fucking are.
Not a fan of the negative tone of OOP, tbh.
The message here imo is less “you must be awful if women aren’t fucking you” and more “looks don’t matter, be chill.”
Nothing insane, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a band are older than Guns ‘N’ Roses.
Makes so much more sense now. But still.
Came here to post it.
Wow, wasn’t expecting to click that and see the old h3h3 intro. Really brings back good memories. That channel was pretty good back in 2014-2015.
Merry Christmas! I don’t know about all of you, but I’m enjoying the holiday music today.
Lemocratic Party
Text may not be AI, image definitely is. Usually everything in AI images glows slightly, like here. And the placement of Tux in the sky has no rhyme or reason.
It’s gotten worse over the years, don’t worry ;)
My top recommended movie right now is Freddy Got Fingered
It was the end of 9th grade, so I was 15 or 16. I read it immediately after To Kill a Mockingbird, which did not make it look good in comparison 😂
Asking questions is how most people show interest. That doesn’t mean it’s disingenuous. Conversations are not events where people take turns talking at each other, they’re back-and-forths.
On the flip side, have you thought about how disingenuous it can seem when someone says nothing while you talk, and then immediately afterward starts talking about themselves and their life at length? Most people don’t just automatically update everyone around them on everything in their lives, that’s why people ask questions and show interest.
Great picks! Mouth Sounds is probably my favorite of his albums. Annoyed Grunt and Shit are my favorites from that, though it’s really hard to pick.
