i’ve seen a lot of really messed up images in my time on the internet, weird fetish shit, even a few IRL gore images but nothing. NOTHING evokes such a deep seated, gut wrenching fear in me like this image of the fucking water slide from Action Park with the loop in it
“When the loop slide was tested with safety dummies, a few of them came out missing their heads”
Why does the thought of failing to complete the loop, sliding back down and getting stuck in it even just until you’re rescued feel a thousand million times worse than the thought of getting instantly decapitated by it.
Everyone needs to understand that the capitalist class would rather kill all life on Earth, including, ultimately themselves, then give up their money or their power. This isn’t a hypothetical thing, by the way; the oil companies have already made that choice.
this really really isn’t exaggeration because every single time legislation is introduced that would protect the environment, protect workers, protect human health or make products more effective, business owners fight it tooth and nail and that includes when it can be mathematically proven to have either a negligible effect on their profits or evenmake them more money in the long run after taking a MINUTE, temporary hit.
They don’t even want to do better later. They want every single fucking penny they’re able to get today, and only today, no matter who loses a home or gets cancer or what goes completely fucking extinct.
This is almost universally true. When you find a huge monopoly willing to let one thing get better you’ll almost always find that they’re doing ten worse things to make up the money and complied with the one nice gesture so they can look good and attract more customers. This isn’t “conspiracy theory” shit but all out in the open.
ok here;’s my take. billy joel’s “we didn’t start the fire” is a song that basically just namedrops a bunch of culturally significant events and people, but its meaning has degraded over time because most of the things joel says only hit home with people who were alive when the song dropped.
in this way, if we consider the song’s merit based on its ability to rapid fire off short phrases that spark deep and emotional memories, “you can’t fight the homestuck” is truly the greatest version of the song. in the modern day, albeit for a specific audience, it brings back a flood of memories with each bar. and just like the original, its chorus speaks undeniable truth, but not to the point of truism. though it’s weird and random…
All right as the person who actually wrote the lyrics to this song as a joke in high school, I’m legit crying reading this in like a sincere way. Like holy shit, my only goal in life was to have someone meme an analysis of something I’d written. Your post has sincerely moved me.
omg it’s an honor………. how does it feel to be better than billy joel
