No-one’s mentioned Dexter yet, so I’m gonna go ahead and do that. What a shit show. I really don’t get why they brought it back from the dead. Sure the original ending was kind of shitty, but it wasn’t that bad they had to revive it and kill it for good.
Well I mean, while Gen-Z humor and memes are mostly a lot more abstract and surreal and while there are elements of that in the beans meme it’s not really just that. It’s a concept piece. In a similar way Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup was and similar pieces of art.
The whole point was to make a point about something, namely, like the title of the post lays it out itself “I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans”. What it says about the lemmy community, maybe nothing, maybe it’s just a fucking can of beans and there really is no intended or inherent deeper meaning and that is irrelevant really.
My point being, it’s kind of all things you talked about, but even more, but also just beans. Schrödinger’s beans.
Greg does the best impression of Wiseau ever. You can find him read the whole book. It’s hilarious
Ooooh I completely forgot Primer!
Lol, haha, I never thought about that. I used to watch a shit-ton of movies as a teen. Got into horror movies, David Lynch and weird stuff early on so I kind of dove into the deep end very early and with no social life there was a lot of time to watch a lot of stuff.
I seem to be having a phase where I don’t really watch movies that much (series more than ever), but when I do it’s usually kind of “comfort food” so I’m mostly watching all-time favorites over and over again.
The Thing,
Naked Lunch,
Evil Dead 1 & 2,
The Big Lebowski,
Videodrome,
Alien,
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,
For a Few Dollars More,
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,
Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive,
The Fountain, Pi, The Holy Mountain, El Topo, Princess Mononoke, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Big Trouble in Little China, The Wicker Man (the og)
And I probably watched Donnie Darko and Ichi the Killer enough times as a teen that they both reach the top
God I watch a lot of movies still.
e:typo, not Donnie Dario
They’re blocking the dashcam or something? I think.
No way, where are you from? Over here it’s 50% farts, 30% air, 20% chips.
What are you using to make it gibberish? Power Delete Suite isn’t working for me anymore.
A similar thing would be great over here too, but I think it shouldn’t be in some way reddit-adjacent and I don’t think this community could ever shift to that. Not after what’s happened. There needs to be a new thing especially since this community is more about bitching about Reddit you know? If it was that easy a ton of subs on reddit would be about something completely different than what they were established for. You don’t just change an established agenda just like that.
Lemmy in general often feels a lot more like old Reddit already, which is what TrueReddit tried to hold on to.

Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and the sequel Abe’s Exoddus. Easily one/two of the best games I’ve ever played. They’re available on PC and other systems these days, but they’re still the definitive Playstation game for me. Unique and one of a kind and even today, absolutely great to play.
I also give a vote to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Medievil. Surprised no-one’s mentioned Oddworld though.
Edit: Ooh I have to add, Rayman! And if you have a friend to play with - Team Buddies.
Yeah this seems like some selfawarewolves shit. And even in this whiny tirade they just couldn’t leave some sort sexist/ableist/hateful insult off. As much as spez is a fucking tool, people like turtle are the bigger reason honestly the whole site had turned to diarrhea IMO - rampant assholes taking over the site.
I’m glad someone enjoyed it! I don’t think I could cringe as much watching a show as when I was watching that. I’d rather watch Dawson’s Creek or something. There were a lot of elements that could’ve made it great, but it just really felt horrible watching it the whole time. In comparison the weird X-Files reboot was at least kind of fun, Dexter was like watching a trainwreck to me.
