that episode makes no god damned sense. it's a cute concept that falls apart if you think about for like two and a half seconds. one of the nice things about language is that you can describe concepts that have never before existed and everyone else can understand you because that's how words work. if i say "i'm going to put the washington monument in my grandmother's broom closet" people can immediately start to imagine what that might mean, even though it's nonsense that probably no one has ever spoken before. but if your language is only based on references to other things that have previously happened, how do you describe something new? oh, that's right, you make up a new phrase like "picard and dathon at el-adrel" to describe this circumstance. but how the gently caress does the entire rest of your culture know what that one means unless they were there? there's no other way to describe it, obviously, because otherwise you wouldn't have had to invent a new term! i find it completely absurd that a society without the ability to relate abstract concepts could ever progress to a basic industrial level, let alone become a spacefaring civilization.

Hey does anyone have that quote that's a goon making fun of cooking websites and it's like "after catching fireflies in Mason jars me, my dog and my dogs cousin sat down to eat"

I can't remember the exact phrasing of the dog's family but it was funny

quote:

me: *googles how to mash potatoes*

some food blogger: My childhood home was full of wind and light. On a brisk Autumn evening, it often felt as if the outside was in. My younger sister, my mother, our favourite cousin, our dog, our other dog, our dog’s sister, and I would sit on the floor in the living room for hours, lit only by the moon and candlelight

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: It was at that moment, with my tiny hands clasped tightly around a mason jar filled with fireflies, that I realised the true value of family. My dog and my dog’s sister came and sat quietly at my feet. We stared up at the sky together, and I felt truly connected to both the Earth at my feet and the ancestors who shared the blood that ran through them, for the first time realising that

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: and when we finally made it home, our cheeks flushed with laughter and cold, there were warm mashed potatoes waiting for us. I will always remember their fluffiness, perfectly mirroring the light feeling I carried with me for the entire next week. This is my favourite cousin’s recipe from that very day, modified slightly to not be loving awful. Boil an potato and smush it up with fork and botter. NOT A RAW, Salt, pepepr. In it

I have a special hatred for Cats because my extremely manipulative grandmother tricked me into going to it.

She called up my mother and told her that my uncle, who was kind of a crazy loner who grew his own pot and once drew a gun on his mailman, thought it would be really nice if he took us to Cats for his birthday. Then she called up my uncle and told him that me and my mother really wanted to take him to Cats for his birthday

We got to the intermission and we were all standing there in a triangle telling each other how much we liked Cats, only to realize that we all hated it and had been tricked. And that we were all idiots for falling for my grandma's extremely stupid lie. Then we just went and got some food and laughed about all the weirdo Cats cast members running through the audience.

this is actually a step towards self-actualization. impressive. most people don't make it out of plato's cat humping cave so they get stuck ^^ as seen above

cumshitter posted:

Plato's cave is just you, bent over a table, watching the shadow of a cat loving an rear end and being so desensitized and unaware that you don't realize it's your rear end being hosed in the shadow.

You're dumb, i bet you don't even know how that whole Atlantis started. And if you actually think that I think its real, then its clear proof that you have absolutely no loving clue what that whole thing was about. I'm bored at work so let me enlighten you:

A few years back, I knew of an actual real archeological site being dug in Bolivia. I wanted more details about it because the only info I had at the time, is that the guy who actually found the place is convinced that Atlantis is there. He, using satellite imagery and Plato's texts, found that spot. Where no one had dug before, and turns out there is actually something there. Do I think its Atlantis? No. But just like TROY was considered mythological for hundreds of years, and people laughed at everyone who looked for it, I consider that saying "A place isn't real" is sheer arrogance. If you actually read the texts, you'll understand there is absolutely nothing supernatural or far fetched about it. It would have been an ancient city just like any other. There's nothing in those texts to suggest aliens or some super advanced civilization. All that poo poo you probably think Atlantis to be, came from Hollywood and stupid movies which are a far cry from the actual texts.

Now I know Plato said a lot of bullshit, but I'm open minded in the sense that, were someone to bring forth actual evidence, I wouldn't simply dismiss it based on pre-conceived notions. But everyone went about with this idea that I actually believe its real, so I ran with it because why the gently caress not? And more importantly, the point I had been trying to make in the history thread, is that archeologists and scientists need to stop thinking they know with certainty about our past, because there's plenty of things that lies buried and/or are gone forever.

A great example is that before l'Anse aux Meadows was found, we knew for a certainty that Christopher Columbus was the first european to reach the new World. Well turns out, Vikings were there 500 years earlier. So claims of "X city doesn't exist" or "x historical event is fiction" is just plain old arrogance because these types of claim have often been found to be false. Real or not, a lot of important archeological discoveries were made by people looking for it, so regardless of what you think, its not a total waste of time.



PS: Also congrats on making me talk about that stupid subject again.

E: Oh and, I suck at spaceships
