The fact that I understand everything in this scares and comforts me at the same time.
I have a couple, completely unrelated ones.
alex lennen - Great channel on comic books, especially Marvel. Presenter is also really funny and full of energy.
BobbyBroccoli - If you’re at all interested in academia and science in general, check him out. Really nice information presented in a visually pleasing way.
lambdaxx - Super niche, but if you like the game EU4, he’s probably the best one to watch to really get better.
M. Laser History - Great channel on medieval European and Slavic history, with some forays into other periods. Great quality overall.
Tasting History - Cooking show with a history segment. Overall nice quality and you learn a lot.
The general reaction to this post being “Who’s Matpat?” is super interesting to me. And the comments saying that Tom Scott and Matpat aren’t old are also interesting since they follow the trend in Lemmy of the average age being a lot older than any other social network. I’m Gen Z and primarily consume content via a very Zoomer-heavy platform, YouTube, and the only other social network I have is Lemmy, which I’d say is very millennial-dominated. Which is why I stayed on Lemmy when I first got on here in June, since I liked the difference in opinion on the same topics on Lemmy and YouTube. Nothing related to the post, just something I’ve noticed for a while but never shared.
Pinkerton by Weezer. Its my favorite album of all time. It also introduced to a while bunch of other great albums, namely American Football’s first album and Kid A by Radiohead. And El Scorcho is an absolute banger.
Back when I still took the bus to school, all the buses where and still are electric. Great to see it being nationwide!
“So that’s it, huh. What are we, some kind of, Odyssey?”
Started listening to Buddy Holly by Weezer ironically for the meme edits some months ago, now Weezer is my favourite band.
Yeah I was thinking it was Grapes of Wrath. It makes sense, the song’s whole point was River’s pandemic-era hobbies, and Audible blew up in the pandemic. I feel this rant is just the author projecting their anti-Amazon mindset onto a band they dislike. Sure, Amazon is terrible, but I doubt they would pay Weezer of all bands to promote Audible. Maybe its just my youthful optimism and love of Weezer clouding my rationality, but I feel like this is just another “old man yells at cloud”.
The subscribers list shows only subscribers from your instance I believe. Like for me, the lemmy.world meta community has less than a thousand subscribers, but that’s only because I’m on lemmy.ml. Can’t imagine those nutjobs have too many subscribers anyway, though.
So I’m actually an immigrant (Indian) but I came over super young so I guess it counts. WhatsApp with family, normal SMS for everything else. If I could, I would use Signal for everything but it’s kind of hard to get your massive Indian family to all switch from something they’ve used for a decade and a half.
Hmm, I’ve never heard the part where going against the universe creates unhappiness. Maybe I should read a bit more in depth. Thanks for the explanation.
Weezer - Pork and Beans is a really interesting snapshot of YouTube in the late 2000s; you see all the big people of the day doing trends of the day while singing with the members of Weezer. If that doesn’t sound awesome, I don’t know what is. Plus Hero by the same band is a really interesting pandemic video that is one of the few “artist tries to relate to normal people during lockdown” things which actually work.
If you couldn’t tell, Weezer is my favorite band.
This sounds a lot like absurdism, especially the “nothing matters so I can do whatever I want”.
r/NonCredibleDiplomacy and r/weezer. Two subs with insanely specific humor that I loved.
Thanks
The entire album is incredible, but I would say Videotape. Simply awesome. The syncopation is great even if I haven’t looked into it much. I honestly thought the repetiotnnof “in videotape” was weird but now its really grown on me. The entire album has really grown on me, my first listen I thought it was good but nothing special. Now its one of my favorite albums of all time. Kid A is still the best Radiohead album, though.
