I’m not the only one seeing the SS rune in the space between the 4 and 7, am I? That had to be intentional.

Reminds me of the idiot years ago who carved “B.O.” into her cheeks in an attempt to blame Obama supporters… only she wrote the B backwards because she used a mirror.

You just unlocked a core memory. I forgot all about those graphs and the little red plastic strips you used to view them.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.

Henchman 21: Oh my God, you’re crazy! They’re so obviously mammals!

Henchman 24: Please! She’d be in estrus 24/7 if she didn’t lay eggs.

Henchman 21: Smurfs don’t lay eggs! I won’t tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They’re mammals!

Not one person said Goldeneye? Wow. The main menu is good of course, but that pause music is legendary.

And now that I’ve had some more time to think: what was up with the modern music this season? It was distracting and took me out of the story every time.

If you click the Legends button there’s info from the pre-Disney era. Apparently the term dates back to 1983.

“We need some more secret sauce! Put this mayonnaise in the sun.”

It’s an example of “headlinese”, the odd rules used to shorten headlines. It’s at least decades old and comes from newspapers where space was limited. In this case the comma subs in for “and”.

First movie that came to mind was Ghostbusters (2016). So much anger leading up to release only for it to end up not being worth talking about.

“How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?”

“Well, it’s a spaceship so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.”

Lemmy community links have a special link format:

More like someone who tweeted a list of states in danger that mistakenly included Alabama, got corrected by the National Weather Service, and drew a marker line rather than admit he made a simple error.
