marx didn't predict how great it was to do E and grow big naturals

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That was Engels

engels is an abbreviation of estrogen angels

Marx didn't predict AI goon caves (I'm posting this in order to be corrected by someone posting the relevant Marxist theory about AI goon caves)

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 5 months ago

I'm not a big brain reader of theory but I'd imagine his theory on alienation plays a role in that.

Marx didn't predict the Albanian AI minister getting pregnant with treoctogenuplets

I'm still not over that Engels predicted synthetic biology, though I am struggling to find the passage (it was a very offhand remark, at least where I saw it).

[–] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Ooh please lemme know if you find it!

Marx didnt predict that in 1996 he would be depicted as the main villain in Kirby: Super Star

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact, the Kirby villain's Japanese name is Mark, and I'm not sure why but it being a spooky foreign name is definitely part of it, so to keep it spooky and foreign for an anglophone audience the localizers made it Marx.

I thought it's because he's a jester and they were doing a Marx brothers bit

Because cocaine was legal.

Tbf the folks who chew coca leaf do a bunch of it. Life is hard and stimulants are cool.
