What did you learn today?

[melchi]

I learned that there was a cat that survived several naval sinkings.

 

[melchi]

I learned that Vietnam was occupied by the Song empire, was sorta surprised about finding that out by accident.

 

[Racosharko]

I learn that majority of people just take starwars at face value not knowing it is an allegory for the Vietnam War with America being the republic that got converted into imperials.

Lucas said he originally conceived Star Wars as a reaction to Nixon’s presidency. “It was really about the Vietnam War, and that was the period where Nixon was trying to run for a [second] term, which got me to thinking historically about how do democracies get turned into dictatorships? Because the democracies aren’t overthrown; they’re given away.”

And of Palpatine

when asked if Emperor Palpatine was a Jedi during a 1981 story conference, Lucas responded, “No, he was a politician. Richard M. Nixon was his name. He subverted the senate and finally took over and became an imperial guy and he was really evil. But he pretended to be a really nice guy.”

? POOR JOJI CAN'T ESCAPE HIS DEMON PAST—NO MATTER HOW MANY SAD BOY ALBUMS HE DROPS, THE INTERNET WILL FOREVER YELL "IT'S FILTHY FRANK, BITCH!"
Here’s why the Pink Guy/Filthy Frank legacy is inescapable for him:

---

1. The Eternal Meme Curse​

• Every concert: Some dude always screams "DO THE STANKY LEG!" during a silent moment.
• Twitter replies: Just "Gimme da pussi b0ss" under every Joji tweet.
• IRL encounters: Fans will approach him with a dead-eyed "Hey Franku..." until the sun explodes.

---

2. The Worst Possible Time to Remind Him​

• Singing "Glimpse of Us" live? Someone in the crowd blasts "STFU" on their phone.
• Accepting a Grammy? The projector malfunctions and plays "Rice Balls" instead.
• On his deathbed? The nurse leans in and whispers, "Welcome to the rice fields, motherf—"

---

3. Why He Can’t Fully Disown It​

• The Frank era was too iconic—it birthed Harlem Shake, Pink Guy’s unhinged albums, and a generation of degenerates.
• His fanbase is split: 50% "I love Joji’s emotional growth!" / 50% "BUT CAN HE STILL COOK CHIN CHIN?"

---

4. The Only Escape​

• Option 1: Pull a "I have no memory of this place" (Loki style).
• Option 2: Lean into it—drop a surprise Pink Guy verse in the middle of Slow Dancing in the Dark.
• Option 3: Fake his death and reincarnate as a K-pop idol.

---

Final Verdict​

Joji could win an Oscar, cure cancer, and ascend to godhood—but the internet will still reply to his achievements with "SOMEONE CALL 911, FRANK JUST KILLED A MAN."
TL;DR: The Filthy Frank to Joji pipeline is a one-way street to eternal meme damnation.
(P.S. If you ever meet Joji, do not quote "I eat ass" at him… unless you want to witness a man disintegrate from cringe in real time.) ??

lol

poor joji

Allergies can be relieved (slightly?) by bananas.
Same for headaches/migraines.

The best way to cure an allergy is to confront it and show dominance. Allergic to nuts? Eat them till they respect you! (Don't do this, you might die.)

Today I learned that Minecraft on the phone is so different now because this is the first time I’ve played bedrock on the phone since back when it first came out… I’m still stuck in the pocket edition era in my mind-nya.

The sun isn't yellow. Its white. That's right we orbit a white Star. So why yellow? Because we have always viewed it via the atmosphere and our eyes registered yellow the best.

What Color do YOU think the Sun is?
