My husky goes apeshit when she sees black or brown labs. Can’t let her in the park if anyone else there at the time has a black or brown lab because she will attack it. She doesn’t with yellow labs or any other breed.
Give The Smiths a go if you’re intrigued. It’s the band that he broke out of, and personally I prefer more of that compared to his solo stuff (though he does have a few bangers, but the aforementioned nut-jobbery means I don’t really play much of his solo work these days)
Around the same time as Britpop exploded, Morrissey began getting pictures taken draped in the British flag; he also began making disparaging remarks about immigration. Hell, he even wrote a song called ‘The National Front Disco’. But while Morrissey’s views always gained column inches, as his music waned and the singer’s original fandom began to find themselves in bank manager positions, he began to find his place in the press less and less often.
After the pathetic loser killed 97 people in Norway, the vast majority were children, he had this to say.
We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead. Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried shit every day.” So not only is he a racist cunt, he’s a despicable piece of shit in other ways as well.
Fuck Morrissey. Hope he gets remembered for the person he is, not the music he made
Honestly, if I didn’t think this meme was so damn funny, I wouldn’t have posted anything regarding Morrissey, but I have to admit, that accurately describes his music.
Yeah, I just wish both drugs existed. What people think lsd does sounds more casually fun than a drug that makes you horny then introspective and all the while tied to mystical feelings. LSD is the best time I’ve ever had confronting my behavior, but it does force me to confront shit
i always describe LSD as a drug that puts a mirror to your face so you get a good look at what you see for a solid 6h+ whether you like what you see or not. Plus other things obviously, but for me that’s the main and best feature
me neither hah, obviously when i was told “maybe don’t” i heard “definitely do”, it is rather fun, my brain always comes up with a lot of symbolism for those moments
Oh absolutely, though I never noticed the olfactory or aural ones. It’s that they aren’t coherent hallucinations. They’re more likely to be geometric. They can tap into the entheogenic properties but pop culture loves to treat it like it’s visual first and temporal last, when really any dose will give most people temporal hallucinations, and it’s usually a medium dose to make the ceiling go wavey. I’ve never done a large dose so I can’t speak on that.
Outside the time hallucinations, the hallucinations aren’t the main attraction, it’s the tapping into the feeling of connectedness.
Make folks hallucinate. It doesn’t do that, not really. A person who is hallucinating is unaware that they are hallucinating. They see things in their environment which aren’t there, or hear things which aren’t there.
LSD can produce stunning visuals, but there is never a moment where you are unaware that those visuals are being caused by the drug. As for the auditory side of it, it enhances music kind of like thc does, but on a much larger scale. I would say that’s the wildest part. For me, with very slow, subtle movements of my body, I could feel like I was moving into and around the music. Still though, I was fully aware that the drug was behind it.
There are no pink elephants, not really. Though, I would say that my imagination was a lot more vivid and my mind more likely to wander. Still, I knew it was my imagination.
I’ve heard some fake ass stories about people being surrounded by fuzzy bunnies and all kinds of stuff.
I will say, I haven’t taken an absurd amount of it at once. I haven’t taken it in more than a decade either.
Oh yeah, just isn’t something that regularly occurs. I had a buddy wad up a sheet of uncut blotter and swallow it when he crashed his car and the police showed up.
He spent some time in the hospital before going to jail.
Oh it was awful, totally not worth it. He had cocaine as well, but he didn’t get charged with the acid. He was drunk, 17, on Xanax, in his mother’s car. When the police got to him he was eating the cocaine and had to be hospitalized because of his heart.
Funny thing, I was telling his story earlier.
His mom turned him into a junkie to control him. Sad thing really. She did all of her kids that way. He was the only one she turned into a junkie, she convinced the rest they were schizophrenic.
Poor guy has seen nothing but trouble his whole life.
The appearance of humans rapidly declines over the course of the series, implying that most or all of them (besides the mysterious Agent who appears several times) have been killed off.
The Skibidi Toilets are also very aggressive, with many episodes ending with them attacking and eating the camera, which is presented as a first-person view, implying that they eat people.
Skibidi Toilet 4 shows people sitting on toilets before a Skibidi Toilet bursts into the room, at which point the view zooms out to show that all the people are now Skibidi Toilets, suggesting this is possibly how they reproduce. (Edit: I misremembered, the view doesn’t zoom out. It focuses on the Skibidi Toilet as it approaches the camera but it pans past the people who have turned into Skibidi Toilets and are now ominously staring at the camera.)
Thus, it’s very likely that there’s no human plumbers left to do the job.
The main protagonists of the series, the ubiquitous Cameramen, are sometimes shown using plungers as weapons, however.
Every new generation has some cultural element that’s valued simply because it confounds old and out-of-touch people.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of Zoomers only pretend to like it ironically, but I think underneath that there’s always going to be at least some genuine interest. The exact same thing happened with Bronies a decade ago: started as a meme, then grew into its entirely own subculture, distinct from both weebs and furries.
From what I’ve gathered, Gen Alpha seems to be a lot more into it than Zoomers though.
Personally, I actually really enjoy the series. I was drawn in by the surrealist and absurdist humor that I’d known from other SFM artists like anonym00se, and then stayed for the surprisingly engaging story. It’s actually pretty entertaining, and I think it’s actually a great case study in visual storytelling, because with only one or two exceptions, it’s presented entirely without dialogue or wordy exposition.
Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a try. I jumped on the brony bandwagon years ago (though I’ve let that go now) so I’m keen to give the new things a fair shot.
I actually was a Brony as well for a bit. Funnily enough, I got into it basically the same way: saw the memes, wanted to see what the hype was about, found it surprisingly enjoyable.
I’ve since tried to go back and re-watch FiM (I stopped sometime after the release of the movie) but found my tastes had changed and it was a bit too saccharine for me. The same thing happened when I went to re-watch ATLA, despite having enjoyed it as a kid during its broadcast run.
Same. I still like the characters and the personalities the fandom built around them, but the show hits different now. That’s why I like shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe because they already had a more “mature kid” kind of spin, less black and white morality, even though they still tended to make enemies friends in the end.
The most recent animation I’ve watched is Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. I love the setting, and of course how raunchy it is. Definitely not for kids though.
I agree that it was surprisingly engaging, but I still don’t think it was all that great. The plot is pretty much just an arms race between cyborg armies. The new abilities each side develops keep it interesting, but not enough that I’d go back and watch more. In my opinion, Animator vs Animation is a far better example of visual storytelling, with a more anime and less visceral style of action.
I’m not really into cooking, but I’m familiar enough with chemistry to know that you need an emulsifier of some sort.
Mustard, as recommended by the only other commenter at time of writing, seems to be common for salad dressings.
Another recommendation would be to simply try to prepare your vinegarette closer to the time that you’ll actually need it.
Egg yolk is another common emulsifier, though it depends on if eggs are safe to eat raw where you are: as an American, I was shocked to learn that it’s actually really common in Japan to break a raw egg yolk over rice dishes to add protein and flavor, because raw egg yolk is disgusting to me.
I try not to pass judgement over others for personal tastes because I’ve felt the sting of that plenty of times myself.
I’ve never really been into steak, personally. To me it’s just a giant, boring slab of meat carried entirely by the fat content and the seasonings put on it. Most of the time, I’d rather have a burger cause there’s more variety in flavor and texture.
That being said, I think part of the reason for this is because my mom always cooked the hell out of any meat she served us. I think she was just deathly afraid of foodborne pathogens.
Since then, I’ve had a few steaks that I’d consider to be decent or pretty good, and I always order them medium rare, but I’d still rather go for a burger or ribs most of the time.
It’s a series of YouTube shorts (it may be on TikTok but I wouldn’t know because I don’t use it) made in Source Filmmaker (SFM), mostly using assets from Valve Software’s Half Life 2.
The series features the eponymous Skibidi Toilets, which are human heads that are shown popping out of toilets and also sometimes urinals or bathtubs. The heads stare ominously at the camera and sing the Skibidi Toilet song with comedically and anatomically impossible (to a deliberately absurd degree) facial and neck animations.
From the Skibidi Toilet wiki:
The song is a sped-up remix/mashup of the songs “Give It To Me” by Timbaland (The most common and popular one), “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado and “Dom Dom Yes Yes” by Biser King.
The series starts out with a surrealist bent, with third-person omniscient cameras and swooping crane shots through sterile apartment and commercial buildings, usually panning to a Skibidi Toilet which sings its song before attacking the camera and the video ends. The first few videos are variations on this theme.
As the series goes on, it develops a more coherent storyline, showing giant Skibidi Toilets appearing in a human city and attacking the population, and the military attempting to fight back but being overrun.
Shortly, an army of humanoid robots with CCTV or sometimes movie cameras for heads (the Cameramen) appears and starts to do battle with the toilets. Whether they were created by humans or just arrived on Earth to fight the toilets from another world is not clear.
It’s shown early on that the Skibidi Toilets can be defeated simply by flushing the toilet, which causes the head to comically spin before getting sucked down into the toilet, and this is the Cameramen’s primary mode of attack. Physical damage to the head is also usually sufficient to incapacitate or kill the Skibidi Toilet, though the largest Skibidi Toilets are highly resistant to attack.
The series transitions to disconnected vingettes from the perspective of one of these Cameramen, showing their ongoing escalating war with the Skibidi Toilets. Larger and larger Skibidi Toilets with more advanced weaponry keep appearing, and the Cameramen build a large Cameraman Titan to fight them. Later, other factions of humanoid robots, the Speakermen and TV men, join the fight on the side of the Cameramen.
The series ebbs and flows, alternating between triumphant victory and devastating defeats for this Alliance. The episodes get longer (broken into multiple shorts to fit the format) and have more complex action.
We see that Skibidi Toilets have a hierarchy and use their song not only as a battle cry but also to communicate with each other. And later, the series shows them >!infighting which leads to a splinter faction appearing that is hostile to both them and the Alliance, with hints that these new toilets are even more dangerous as they have advanced weaponry and are able to speak English.!<
There’s hints that the series is escalating toward an epic final showdown, but it’s already had a few and I’m wondering where it’s all going to end. That’s why I say it’s surprisingly engaging.
This feels like a set-up to the upcoming debut of a regular-show-esque surrealist tabletop war game loke 40k but eith somehow even more disturbing lore
Mirroring the story of Adam, Satan took the rib from Manson and used it to create a wife for him. Unfortunately, that wife was Amber Heard, who left him immediately.
The full screen series is easier to watch because you can just load up a playlist, and there’s even compilation videos of a whole “season” at a time, but it can be a little jarring sometimes because Youtube mutes some of the copyrighted music in the full videos.
Shorts apparently fly under the copyright radar, however, likely because most of the content on the platform is set to copyrighted music.
So, if I want the full experience (or at least what I assume was the original intended experience), I ought to go with shorts. How does the aspect ratio affect things? Does it have any impact over the content or experience, vertical vs horizontal? I did once watch several episodes or seasons (probably full screen, due to being on a laptop), but honestly forgot where I stopped. Probably due to a lack of memorability for each episode, given the story is usually quite similar (the ongoing war)
People are like piranahs on Lemmy when it comes to anything ad-adjacent lol. It’s good to be vigilant, but damn, not EVERYTHING is something, lol. Honestly, getting all riled up over an ad someone saw in a subway and was amused by is pretty shellfish of them…
These days we’re outraged almost exclusively by AI. Please proceed to re write your comments, assuming the image was made entirely by a computer and OP is a bot.
Well you couldn’t tell now lol, but when I commented, about 25% of the comments were accusing OP of being a corporate shill or similar “you’re just giving Spotify free advertisement” stuff.
Probably something to do with the great depression and needing to make cheap foods interesting
Something to do with women having to make things look less lazy/not just serving ready made things, and like they put work into making food in the post ww1 period. Recipe books tended to have the crazier stuff trying to get you to use more of their other products
My problem isn’t whether it’s s main dish or not (and are you not aware salads can be main dishes?), my problem is that it’s sugary jell-o in cake form. Sort of the opposite of a salad.
“Salad” doesn’t mean healthy, it just means “item + goo.” Sometimes it’s veggies and dressing. Sometimes it’s fruit and their own juices. Ham, tuna, egg or chicken salad is just those items plus mayo. Add relish, celery and onions if you’re fancy. Sweet jello salads are jello chunks mixed with cool whip, fruit and nuts if you’re fancy. In a savory jello salad the jello is the goo and random bits of what ever veg and/or meat was in the fridge are the item.
“Salad” doesn’t mean healthy, it just means "item + goo
Yeah apparently we’re using very different definitions on this side of the Atlantic.
a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, usually seasoned with oil, vinegar, or other dressing and sometimes accompanied by meat, fish, or other ingredients.
The Midwest US is pretty well known for their “salads” of whatever the fuck gelatinous mess they want to throw together. It’s a loose definition of salad.
Salads are just cold foods chopped up and mixed together with some kind of dressing. I.e. fruit salad, caprese salad, egg/chicken/tuna salad, etc.
Using gelatin as the “dressing” is a regional thing. This would be called strawberry cumfart jello here, not strawberry cumfart salad.
I also think only very old people still eat this shit. Gelatin in general is much less popular among young people, who want their food to vaguely resemble food.
Yeah, that’s the part that always gets downplayed in these ‘homeowner revenge’ stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.
Yep, they put liens on your property and can foreclose on your house from under you, without you even knowing. They can put it up on auction and sell it without informing you.
