[CW: very cringe and nerdy] I just had a cool thought about how what we do lives on through more than just genetics
(hexbear.net)
Okay so, basically, the game EarthBound, yeah? The music in that game was written by a dude who was heavily influenced by the Beatles and other 60s/70s music. To the point where there is even sames from Beatles music used in EarthBound.
Ok so EarthBound, including its music in turn heavily inspired a bunch of Millennials including a fellow named Toby Fox whose work is heavily based on EarthBound to the point where Undertale and Deltarune use the soundfont and sound effects for a lot of things.
Which in turn inspired a ton of zoomers, and yeah you get the idea.
It's just a cool reminder of how we are all connected in the most cringe, nerd way I can think of. Everything we do touches other's lives, whether we realise it or not.
Is this a bit or did you just discover meme theory.
Nah I'm just high on life
Plot twist: Dirt_Owl is Richard Dawkins posing as an owl.
Rather upsetting to find this out
Meme? Like the funny pictures online?
Yes
They're referring more to the original Dawkins definition of meme as a social analogy of the gene, something along the lines of "minimal reproducible unit of social exchange"
I was doing a ”Chapo? Like the drug dealer?” style bit.
Although if there's one guy whose accomplishment being overshadowed by cats saying they can has cheezburger I don't mind, it's Dick Dorkins.
Sorry, irony through text is hard to read sometimes. But yeah, Dawkins falling off is probably my biggest disappointment in terms of someone falling off
I always wonder if a bit might be a little too obtuse.
Especially after some people might have actually gotten my reference to Machines of Loving Grace reference yesterday.
