European countries start national stockpiling of olive oil.
The average european already does that.
Trump dies but comes back to life
Technically this could happen if he’s put on cardiac bypass for heart surgery.
No, no, it’s queerbating. She’s obviously going to open up to hawk girl on the view about what she flicks the bean towards, and then market the ‘slime’ to all the insane people…
and the video promoting it prominently displays her wrists with snapbacks on them.
I think I hate myself for this mental image.
Queerbaiting: Pretending or hinting that you may be LGBT+, in order to trick people into liking you more, or to pay more attention to you or your work. Sometimes this is a way to try to get LGBT+ fans, sometimes it’s trying to get straight people who think LGBT+ people/acts are sexy.
Arc, as in story arc of a tv show or book series: So, it’s for a set period of time, and then they move on, not really acknowledging again.
Pop acts have done this a lot.
There are different levels of scummy that are considered socially acceptable, and some marketing doesn’t rely on tricking you.
Think of the different ads you’ve seen:
“Our furniture is locally made by unionized workers. Everything is made using young trees that we grow ourselves, or reclaimed wood”
Is different than:
“On Friday, our pasta is buy one get one free”
Is very different than:
“Hey gay, it’s June. You know what that means? It’s time for us to change our logo to include a rainbow and maybe even have an ad (in some countries) with two woman who might be married if you read between the lines. Maybe you can ignore that we donate money to political groups that are anti-LGBT, or that we fire queer people at a higher rate than straight people.”
Or
“Hey kids, I’m a clown! Your parents don’t love you if they don’t buy Clown brand bleach. Kids without Clown brand bleach are poor, unlovable losers, and they’ll never have any friends. Now in comes in cherry, and blue raspberry!”
Indubitably.
Anyways, seems like this session of futureseers is adjourned. Who wants Tapas?
you’re on lemmy.
that’s not a diss. it’s just that I’m the only person i know, who even knows lemmy exists. you kinda have to be online a lot to know about it lol
To anyone with questions:
Trump refused to accept his loss in 2016. One might suggest that he’s refuse to accept he died
Chappell Roan is a famous pop star. The Grammys are a music awards show. Chappell Roan is an advocate for women and LGBT rights.
Snapbacks are a type of hat that were popular in the 90s and are not currently cool
Ariana Grande is a famous pop star. Queerbaiting is dropping hints that you’re gay (whether you are or not) to draw in more fans.
Hawk Tuah girl is the girl from the viral video that I would be shocked you weren’t at least aware of. She already started a podcast to cash in on the 15 minutes of fame.
Rihanna is a famous pop star who hasn’t released an album in awhile
Travis and Jason Kelce are NFL players. Travis is dating Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is a famous pop star. They are wealthy.
Pretty sure “Rare Slime” is just a joke
9.Minecraft is a video game. A Minecraft Movie is coming out with mixed reception
To the people who think they look cool by pretending they don’t get this list: Wow it’s so cool that you live under a rock! I don’t follow pop culture that closely but the only one I had to google was Bethenny Frankel so I don’t believe you’re that confused
1 - its dumb so not getting is fine 2 - Even after you have explained it, I still dont get it 3 - there was fitted or adjustable. I was born in the 1970’s and have never heard the term snapbacks referring to adjustable fit hats. I think this snapbacks just became a thing because velcro became the popular adjustable adjustable baseball hat thing 4 - never heard of queerbating and I have plenty of gay friends 5 - I only understood it after googling hawk tuah girl, but that was a one day fad and I will probably forget it again after today 6 - I couldn’t point out a Rihanna and have a 50/50 chance of pointing her out if you gave me a picture of her and someone other pop star her age that I don’t know 7 - I got this but only because I watch NFL every so often (SEAHAWKS!!!) 8 - I thought it was a gray goo joke about the end of the world 9 - Kids will fucking love the Minecraft movie no matter what the reviews are. Kids are idiots 10 - I still don’t get it. And now that you explained it, I bet she is a Trumper?
So I got a couple out of 10
To the people who think they look cool by pretending they don’t get this list: Wow it’s so cool that you live under a rock!
don’t be a dick
Don’t read too much into it, there isn’t much of a reason behind most of these predictions
They’re just hats with snaps and with all fashion trends, it’s very uncool to wear them after they’re out of style…until it’s ironically cool
That’s fine. She hasn’t been in the news much the past few years which I think is the root of the joke
Could be!
The negative reactions are from the adults expecting a kids movie to cater to them. Those fans are mentally unwell
No idea. I vaguely recognized the name but I’m not sure what her web presence is like
don’t be a dick
You’re in the first category I described, not the second. I was referring to the other edgelord comments saying this is brain rot or questioning if it’s written in English when these aren’t terminally online deep cuts…they’re mostly surface level pop culture.
O-OP didn’t write -baiting as in luring: O-OP wrote -bating as in onanism.
It doesn’t make any more sense as gratuitously made-up words go - so fetch - but I wanted to be clear on which made-up word OP was writing.
(Unless we assume O-OP didn’t proof what he wrote and also OP still reprinted it instead of waiting for the correct version)
Pretty sure “Rare Slime” is just a joke
Go to youtube and search for “slime recipes”. It’s a thing that you make for/with kids.
Also there’s a fairly popular anime/manga/light novel series: en.wikipedia.org/…/That_Time_I_Got_Reincarnated_a…
