@tamagotchi Adult cartoons are an exquisite form of art sweetie. It's the perfect blend of noble arts like music, painting and story-telling.
-
@Lensflare / antigermgerm are me mentally younger than our parents that we watch such stuff on our age?
-
@tamagotchi when he was my age my dad was hanging on msn lesbian chatroom.
So maybe? -
@antigermgerm It‘s funny because in reality lesbian chat rooms are not actually lesbians but guys who think that they are chatting with lesbians.
-
@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. -
@whimsical 'Beethoven', sure.

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

@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!" -
@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_? -
@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. */ -
@Lensflare yes. But I had to watch a whole documentary from flat earthers to learn that. It's actually a must watch. It's actually quite mind blowing and the flat earthers do have their arguments. Until I watched that, i had no reason to be so confident that the earth is round.

> 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. -
@Lensflare I want to hear them all four. The airplane is false, you don't fly high enough for that. Same for a ship getting out of your sight. All those things don't work. So, four please :)

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. -
@Lensflare sure, but did you knew those arguments before the flat earthers subject? If so, you're the only ever. That you even have four, i would say you gpt'd some.
Because, of course the earth is round, but it's not common to have 4 examples laying around.
Edit: the third one is a common bullshit myth. YOur eyes can't watch that far. But the flatearthers tried with a laser, you should not be able to shine that far with a laser with the eart curving.
Same for the airplane, you can't see from an airplane that earth is round.
Especially you should watch the docu of the flat earthers.
Wow there's a new season of king of the hill
