The Lathe of Heaven is an Ursula K. Leguin book so you'll see leftists reference it everywhere. I'm surprised that it would be referenced as part of the common cultural corpus of knowledge though, it's not exactly Star Trek.

Nothing is original, comrade. the lathe thing is used elsewhere.
I think you’ve got causality backwards. A lot of Hexbear users listen to Trashfuture
Correlation, etc.
Too liberal for my tastes but I understand why many 6bears listen
I've heard a lot of Hexbear gags on the Deprogram, too. I think we all just get a lot of our memes from the same sources.
Well JT and Yugopnik literally have accounts here so that shouldn't be surprising.
Like the old sub, a lot of this website's culture is stolen from leftist twitter
From my experience when a leftist podcast talks about something chapo.chat follows. Less often the opposite
now that's something I haven't heard in a while
The only podcaster I know frequents the site is Yugopnik, and JT did an AMA like 3 years ago.
The joke about lathing things into existence originally came from an old episode of Chapo I think, and the subreddit turned it into a thing.
The other way around. We take phrases and jokes from them and their circles.
It's when they start beanising that you gotta be suspicious. Eyes open from the the e beani the

Please don't listen to the eps with Tom Walker i steal 93% of my gags feom those
I had this thought too a few months back when one of them said hwalk touah polling booth and vote on that thang during the US elections. Which I saw here a few weeks before the episode. But I figured it was on twitter or some such
The lathe of heaven has been a thing in leftist Twitter for longer than hexbear has existed lol
The reverse, a sneaky amount of us listened to TF for longer than CTH
As many have said lathe is like 9 ish year old meme at this point.
Also if she posted on here Alice would have been banned for one of her many poster moments, between necrophilia and the I'm gonna become a cop shit.
Also I have experience with the fact that TF production is a huge shit show. They put out a call several times on a company I've literally worked for and never followed up. At least when True Anon scraps an idea they put out a call for they don't just ignore you.
