Those are legs so the line doesn’t fall down.

Yes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.

Ah yes, Skibidi Toilet: Origins

I don’t think the Dude could be his illegitimate son since that’s part of the reason Maude referred him to that doctor. He wouldn’t have been very “thorough” if he missed that they were related.

Absolutely. I was watching the series sequentially for the first time in ages and that episode stood out as a definite turning point. The celebrity appearances just got more frequent and more insufferable from then on.

Hell yeah, Zeppelin rules!

imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.

Or imagine the Flintstones advertising cigarettes to kids in the middle of the show.

Or comedy shows named after the sponsoring toothpaste company with sponsor breaks throughout.

Sure it’s gotten really bad lately, but mass media has always been rife with obnoxious advertising, both in-your-face and subliminal. The early days of Netflix streaming were really the anomaly as far as access to non-pirated ad-free media. The broadcast TV generation had their coping mechanisms with the mute button and eventually DVRs, but “media without ads” has basically never been a thing.

And what does it say right above that?

An invented term for a South Asian person.

And from CubitOom’s link:

An invented Indian-sounding given name

And from the sources cited on Wikipedia:

a derogatory made-up Indian name originating on 4chan in 2015

First seen on 4Chan, The term “pajeet” is an ethnic slur, coined as a derisive imitation of Indian names

I always wondered about that gif. Thanks!

Tell ‘em Wikipedia and their five cited sources sent ya!

According to the link above, and the Hindu American Foundation, it’s not a real name and is exclusively pejorative.

The craziest thing about all of your examples is that they weren’t even revolutionary. We already had Vine, Skype, and YETI cups. How the hell did they get everyone to believe that TikTok, Zoom, and Stanley cups were game-changing new ideas?

Remember Jade Helm? They thought Obama was going to use military exercises to take control of Texas back in 2015 or so. Gov. Shitstain even made some comment lending credence to the theories. Now there’s a president using the military to control parts of Texas and they’re cool with it.

Sounds like mine. Shrill beeps that can’t be cancelled, muted, or interrupted, although I think mine is 30 seconds before the reminder beeps.

My favorite part, though? It beeps when you open the door. Like, just as a sound effect. I, the user, your god and your master, am the one who opened your door. There is no status to notify me of, there is no input to confirm. It’s just useless racket that can’t be eliminated without hardware modification.

Yeah, that is the joke. It’s kinda like The Pack type humor in that it’s mocking how out of touch the demographic that would usually make this kind of complaint is. Modern jazz musician culture is a whole lot of meta-absurdist humor.

If you trust KnowYourMeme, the phrase “image macro” was coined in 2004 and popularized in 2005. 4chan was started in 2003.

Stigmatized to the point that left handed kids were forced to learn to write with their right hand, including physical punishment from teachers if they were caught using their left hand. Not just voluntarily hidden, but actively suppressed.

I also remember republicans freaking out about how Obama was going to run for a third term and declare himself king even though there was absolutely no indication that anyone thought that was a good idea. He was just popular and they couldn’t handle it.
