Climate change is gonna fuck this place up before I retire. I do not hope I win.
No pride for the poor, sorry.
Look at what letters the play button covers, or rather the letters it doesn’t cover…
I just searched that name to see if it’s the guy I had in mind, too, and typoed it as “Chris Ecans”. So, I guess, he’s a pokemon now.
Yeah, I once saw the Uno Reverse card of this, where some horrid, conservative Indian media outlet was saying some shit like the EU is holding some bad position. And the guy, who had posted that article, would not even engage in discussion that this was a massive point of contention, where neither France and Germany, nor me and my neighbor agreed. It just felt like shit. Don’t drag me into what the assholes are doing, please.
The meme is a reference to a popular German YouTube channel, called “Held der Steine” (basically translates as “Hero of Bricks”).
On the channel, a guy shows off building block sets which you can then also buy in his accompanying shop. Up until a few years ago, it was almost exclusively Lego sets. Then Lego sent him a mail that his channel logo, which contained a Lego-like brick shape, violated the Lego trademark.
At a later point, they also demanded videos of him to be taken down where he had colloquially referred to building block sets from other manufacturers as “lego”, as we often do in German.And yeah, this did not go down well, so now the guy mostly shows off building block sets from other manufacturers and frequently highlights how insanely expensive Lego is in comparison.
I mean, for me that does come from a place of appreciating real work. If this post would’ve been AI-generated, I would not have cared about it at all. But that they built the whole scene in Blender, that makes it cool.
It reads like someone translated from English to German and back to English. Which, knowing the source, really isn’t surprising…
I’m guessing the whole texture was created on a CRT screen. The artist obviously had the shading skills, where they could’ve faded the eyes red-to-grey, but well, there was no need to.
I mean, we did also end up in the timeline, where conserving the planet Earth is somehow the progressive stance, even though the Earth was kind of important in the past, too. So, I think it’s rather that these labels are nonsense, and conservatives just allude to a (fictional) past when it fits their preferred narrative.
Okay, well, maybe you could’ve told me then. I had to find that out myself…
Ah, in that case, I have a lifehack for you, too. You can actually buy instant spaghetti smoothie in the store. Just mix the powder with water and it’s done. The brand is called “Flour”.
Lifehack for cooking spaghetti in a tiny pot like that:
- Take however much you want to cook out of the package and hold it in one bundle in your hand.
- Set it down vertically in the middle of the pot.
- Now, let it go with the tiniest amount of spin. With a bit of practice and luck, it should fall outwards in all directions, forming a spiral of spaghetti.
- Once the spaghetti become soft, you can start pushing them inwards into the water much sooner, because they’re not at such a harsh angle to the wall of the pot.
Alcohol = unholy water.
Seems about right…
I enjoy how the left side is labeled as “humans” twice, just in case you weren’t quite sure what specimen that is.
I’d argue there’s two punchlines. The father being a dog of the “boxer” breed is another case of subverted expectations…
I mean, if you think about it, aren’t glasses also just a funny looking hat?
Honestly, at this point just plonk down a few traffic lights and pretend it’s a normal intersection. At least assuming that center piece isn’t elevated.
