I was looking through some old vinyl in a store yesterday and found an album from the 50s or 60s called Songs Everybody Knows and I didn't recognize a single song on the list.

That sounds like an obviousplant joke product.

Is not every man alive familiar with the cautionary tale of Scrotuclese?

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Yes, obviously, but it's spelled Scrotucles. There's no e at the end.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Very common mistake. In fact, the name Scrotuclese also appears several times in surviving records of a different culture that lived in the area at the same time, but in reference to a completely different cautionary tale.

Real history hours, fuck

Ah yes Borble the great and powerful. Alas the final story was a cautionary tale that still has relevancy today.

Its not a tale the academic historians would have told you ...

My experience reading 'The third policemen' by Flann O'Brien.

Also it has a perfect description about how AI generated imagery is different to the real pictures.

My surroundings had a strangeness of a peculiar kind, entirely separate from the mere strangeness of a country where one has never been before. Everything seemed almost too pleasant, too perfect, too finely made. Each thing the eye could see was unmistakable and unambiguous, incapable of merging with any other thing or of being confused with it. The colour of the bogs was beautiful and the greenness of the green fields supernal. Trees were arranged here and there with far-from-usual consideration for the fastidious eye.

A lot of religious symbolism in movies goes over my head ‘cause I was never that religious. Apparently the movie Men was rife with religious symbolism and I was just confused af throughout the whole thing.

Did you watch 'life of Brian'? If not please do and repeat back

I have seen it and I did need to read a wiki of jokes on what it was referencing after seeing it. I thought the movie was just OK but appreciate its relevancy/the spirit of it.
