@KirbyCheatFurby Little does Koffing know, that friend was a Voltorb. It wasn't his ass-gas that blew her up. She just does that...

@spumdonor @xanon597443 I teach 4th - 12th graders.
The normies don't watch anything (it's either social media or music for them)
and the nerds watch whatever’s trending in these same X / tiktok / Instagram circles (Ted, Smiling Friends, Stranger Things, etc.)
English
Genuine question, what do kids and tweens watch these days? What’s their Ren & Stimpy, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Cow&Chicken, Ed Edd &Eddy, Batman TAS, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim, Rocko's Modern Life, The Tick, etc? We had so much, and they seemingly have nothing?

@pumpketo You always could've done that. That's transformative and protected by fair use.

“can you be a fan of a game without playing it”
“how do you survive in fandoms that don’t get new content”
“is it ok to lose interest and move to a new fandom”
please just engage with art in its own right instead of treating it as initiation for some internet club

No interest in playing Pokopia, not my cuppa. But I am delighted to see the game is so thoughtfully made and is really resonating with players.
Pokemon+Crafting+CozySim sounds like the most cynical cash grab trend chase ever, but from what I've seen, it's really its own thing

@nienna121 Baltimore Catechism had me answering this question before age 7. "God always was and always will be." Pretty straightforward, no?

@Downzorz1 @Ken67547214 "Our protagonists learn to trust their responsible adult authority figures and end up putting themselves in danger when they don't" actually
English
@Ken67547214 "our protagonists stand back and let the adults handle the problem" makes for unappealing media
English
Isn't it weird how so many childrens' media plots revolve around keeping a secret from adults?
Whether you're involved in a secret government program or you found an alien in the woods, the one thing you never do is tell your parents.

You should be unapologetically EMBARRASSED to escribe yourself to a "Fandom" and this question is why.
"Bruh. It must suck to be in the Shakespeare Fandom. No new content!" "I am singlehandedly keeping the Edgar Allen Poe fandom afloat with my fanart * ask vlog!"

@p_fritzart "Failures" by what metric? If you want to make these essays (and have the available time and energy to spend) go for it!
I totally get not having ENOUGH interest to go through with it, but ya know, numbers and algorithms are just dust in the wind, man.

There's a part of me that would love to make nerdy video essays. But I know they would be instant failures because I would challenge some popular opinions, but they wouldn't be rage baity or polarizing enough to be appealing.

@SoftFurSunlight @TopherStoll I suspect you are a walking case-and-point that we are indeed currently rejecting the natural order, yes.

@SockTalking @TopherStoll If you don't think the way we already live rejects the natural order then I've got some land to sell you.

Why does this inspire such disgust and conflict in us?
It's hard to argue that this solution isn't better. Better a brainless sack of protein than a living creature capable of pain, longing to see the sky but forced to live in hideous lifelong bondage.
So why does the Harvest Hen or the Domesticated Meat Pig feel worse?
I think it's because it makes the instrumentalization visible. We already treat living creatures as production units, but this takes it "too far"... it stops pretending otherwise. An organism that has been openly, unapologetically designed as a object.
And for some people, in some ways, something about that honesty is harder to look at than the cruelty we've already normalized.
Original brainless meat pig "bodyoid" art by @Coolio_Art made me want to make my own.
Kai Micah Mills@kaimicahmills
the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering

This is why, no matter how poor quality or bank-bleeding the products, people will always come back to pokemon

ngl meeting Venonat made me sob. not a favorite Pokémon of mine but my grandma who recently passed was the only adult who took my love of Pokémon seriously. she saw me drawing him at 7 y.o and asked if she could help. I will never forget that it’s nice to meet you too Venonat 🥺

It's because the redrawer does so out of contempt. "Look at ME instead! I legitimized this!"
If the caption was "Why did this stupid slop inspire me?" or "I love this horrible gif" people would share in the delight. But no delight nor earnest passion went into it.
Croni 🍭🎀【VTUBER】@necronival
the reason people find redrawn ai memes unfunny is because modern internet users inherently sees passion and effort as "cringe" everything that isn't ragebait or ironic is now considered corny. being genuine in 2026 is the worst thing you can be
