Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a joke or reference in a piece of media that you saw but didn't understand until years or even decades later?
0·3 days agoThe same phenomenon has been identified even in the UK where cultural divides and differences are present in media and often discussed in terms of accuracy or inaccuracy. Their use and abuse.
I can only imagine in a place like the US, which is on such a different scale, that the problem is going to be even wider, more pervasive due to the dominance of the media, and more infuriating given some of the passionate views people have on their home territory.

0·3 days agoApparently, now I’ve stopped to check, it’s a reference to Tacobell using the word “Grande” on their menus, and the hospital is called Taco Bellevue, so yeah, it is the Taco Bell dog 😃
Not being American, I had no understanding of these cultural points.

0·5 days agoIn the Futurama episode where Leela gets blinded there’s another patient in the hospital who asks “Doctor, how’s my cyst?”
The little Doctor, who appears to be an anthro-Chihuahua says “Grande”
I still have no idea what this is about.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are tell-tale signs a series has jumped its shark?
1·6 days agoSG1 did clip shows really well.
One before, and one after, they jumped the shark.
Its possible to do it right.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•In a place without access to US apps and online services, how would you use the Internet?
1·2 months agoImagine there is no…
YT - dont use it. Don’t like video tutorials, I prefer to read them, don’t like adverts or propaganda!
no Twitter/X, no Facebook - not used them I over ten years
no Netflix, no Amazon - stopped using a few years ago
no Apple - never used
no Google to to search the Web - plenty of other search engines
no chatGPT - soon won’t be there for anyone!
I get my apps from F-droid, I read my web comics on websites, I send emails, I chat with my friends.
Does steam go in your scenario? In that case I imagine GoG will take over there!
You know, the only reason these companies have so much power over your government and so much of your money is they’ve tricked you that you’re missing out without them. 💁♂️
People like you are why the phrase “touch grass” was invented. 🤣😁
