@tamagotchi Adult cartoons are an exquisite form of art sweetie. It's the perfect blend of noble arts like music, painting and story-telling.

@tamagotchi when he was my age my dad was hanging on msn lesbian chatroom.
So maybe? -
Lensflare1984524d@antigermgerm It‘s funny because in reality lesbian chat rooms are not actually lesbians but guys who think that they are chatting with lesbians.

D-4got10-01159124d@tamagotchi Who cares what age we are? Watch what you enjoy watching regardless of your age.
'South Park', 'Family Guy', 'Drawn Together', 'The Simpsons', etc... love them. -
D-4got10-01159122d@whimsical 'Beethoven', sure.

BordedDev198822d@whimsical No, parents were just as "immature" back then, they just didn't have TV

Lensflare1984522d@D-4got10-01 hehe yes, the internet has made it more easy than ever to find idiots who agree with your stupid ideas and give you confirmation. 😂
Pick any claim or idea, no matter how ridiculously stupid. With the help of google, in mere seconds you can find at least hundreds of people who agree with that.
Now angrily point at the screen and scream "See? I‘m not wrong!" -
D-4got10-01159122d@Lensflare Yup. The Internet's given us an even deeper insight into the state of human mind.
As long as we _don't_ listen to the stupid ones, we should be fine.
/* Whoops... too late for that one. At least in some areas, that is. */
...well, I heard 'flat Earthers' are still a thing... _how_? -
D-4got10-01159122d@Lensflare I have 'No Doubt' about that.
/* A decent band, BTW. */
...wokies, too. But otherwise, I don't really want to know how deep this stupidity hole goes.
The white rabbit can go on an adventure alone, this time around.
/* Movie jokes are fun. */ -

> Until I watched that, i had no reason to be so confident that the earth is round.
Well, that doesn’t apply to me. :)
I regularly watch debunking of all kinds of stupid ideas for entertainment.
And I can think of at least 4 proofs against flat earth from the top of my head. -
Lensflare1984520d@whimsical
1. a flat disc cant keep its shape under gravity. It’s physically impossible. It would naturally collapse into a spheroid.
2. the starts that we see in the sky are rotating exactly like they would if the earth was rotating. This doesn’t directly prove the shape but flat earthers reject the rotation of the earth.
3. we don’t see infinitely far away objects.
Far away objects appear lower and then disappear under the horizon, which explains the curvature.
4. The apparent motion of the sun observed from earth is perfectly explained by the earth rotating + revolving around the sun. And it doesn’t make any sense from a flat earth.
Obviously those are just short summaries. -
Lensflare1984519d@whimsical I don’t remember anymore if I knew them before I knew about flat earthers.
And no, I haven’t looked them up for you. I genuinely remembered them.
There is no physical limit for how far you can see with your eye. You can even see stars with your eyes which are millions of light years away. On earth we have the atmosphere and fog which limits how far we can see but which clear weather you would absolutely be able to see the whole world, from a high enough spot, if it wasn't a globe.
Also, you can see from a ship how the tops of distant towers are first seen just above horizon and as you approach them, more and more of the lower parts of the tower can be seen. Because curvature. -
@Lensflare the earth is definitely round. But it's hallow, if you go down a cave far enough you get to the atlantis level

D-4got10-01159118d@Lensflare > 'yeah, it‘s where the nazis ride dinosaurs and hide from us.'
I smell a game plot. I don't think there's been one just like that, _yet_.
Wow there's a new season of king of the hill
