I have become fun, destroyer of boredom... and pants.

This man is responsible for one of the core things that made the 90s the 90s.

[-] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

More than one, he also invented Nerf guns. Dude has more than 250 patents

[-] Hextic@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Absolute fucking legend.

I had the Super Soaker 50. That might as well been my "Holy bolter" back then.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Why is Zeus holding a super soaker

Imagine if the US dropped two giant beyblades on Japan and just let the spinning tops destroy everything.

Of all nations to challenge to a duel of city-sized robots, maybe DON'T pick Japan!?

I apologize. When I went to that rally with the 'No Nukes' sign, it wasn't personal.

[-] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

He went and saw Barbie.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Am I the only one who finds the whole thing so terrifying that they can't bring themselves to watch a movie that shows it as realistically as possible?

I have nightmares about nuclear war.

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Don't watch Barefoot Gen.

To anyone else, watch Barefoot Gen.

The mangaka had personal experience, and it shows.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've heard about it. I'm sure it's excellent, but I can't.

I used to be able to do it. I used to watch all kinds of post-nuke and nuclear war movies in the 80s and 90s. I read John Hersey's Hiroshima more than once. But I can't do it anymore. It's just too scary.

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no point watching if you can't absorb it in a meaningful way.

I'm so desensitized it almost feels academic.

Maybe I'm a coward who emotionally deflect reality, as if watching a strange object.

At least you choose to either see reality in the eye or to deflect your gaze, perhaps a more honest approach.

Well, we do all this reflexively anyway. So there might not be much of a point to dwell on it, sorry for getting philosophical on you.
