    Without normalizing for the number of these vehicles on the road this data is not meaningful. No matter how much I appreciate the depiction of cars as murder machines.

    There were zero children killed by Titan submarines in the last twenty years, we should clearly take inspiration from this beacon of safety!

    It’s not that you misquoted a line or something like that. The dictionary quote is an extremely well known saying that originated in the Bible. Zapp’s line in futurama is literally parodying that saying. By thinking the dictionary is in any way referencing the Futurama scene, you have revealed that you didn’t even get the joke in the first place.



  • I always feel like I’m in the minority when it comes to action sequences. They are 80% of the time the most boring part of a movie. Plot and character development don’t happen during them, and usually (especially for the big climactic fight scene) the outcome is certain.

    For me, the only exceptions are generally:

    Fights that the heroes might actually lose. (So usually, the fights earlier in the show)

    Fights where there are good character moments or development during it. (The Princess Bride sword fight scene is a classic for this)

    Fights with lots of good strategy/tactics in them. (Game of Thrones had a lot of this, at least prior to the last season)

    There are a very few fight scenes I’ll actually enjoy outside of these ones, and it feels like many action movies don’t bother with any of this.









  • One thing I don’t understand about Lemmy is, how do you do stuff across instances? For example I’m on Lemmy.world, but clicking a link to that sub Lemmy takes me to Lemmy.ml, where I’m obviously not logged on. How am I expected to interact with that community?

    Edit: I was able to find and post this comment by manually typing in the address into the URL, which surely isn’t how this is supposed to work
