here is my cover of “O, Do Not Forsake Me” by They Might Be Giants in a style that i think my octoling oc from splatoon would sing it in
This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m
wonder-meathead
can we have some context to this, perhaps?
Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.
Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.
That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.
(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)
just fucking read it
There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me
This is just as wild with the context

i've been reading a bunch of stuff online about public opinions in the USA about climate change, and. We need to talk about this.
Widespread climate change denial in the USA is a myth.
A majority in every single state believes that climate change is real and supports taking action to stop it
I encourage y'all to play around with these maps because they have some super important insights in them
Social scientists have been sounding the alarm on this because even though most surveys and studies show that at least 70% or so of Americans across all states believe in climate change, Americans estimate that only a minority of other Americans believe this
This is BAD
Because the erroneous belief that climate change is controversial stops people from talking about it and emphasizing it in political and social movements, and fuels a sense of hopelessness that stops people from acting
IT'S NOT CONTROVERSIAL! AT ALL!
The Least Intimidating bakery in the village has closed for good so now I’ve got to go to the Intimidating Bakery, it’s awful. If you don’t have a PhD in being French I don’t recommend going to that bakery, here’s the humiliating account of the 3 times I’ve visited it so far:
- the first time I went in there I pointed at one of those extra-skinny baguettes and said “a flute, please” feeling pretty sure of myself, and the baker said “… that’s a ficelle” (you idiot) (was implied) “a flute is twice as large as a baguette.”
- That’s insane, first of all, a flute is a skinny instrument. Call your fat baguette a bassoon, lady—I made some timid remark about how it would make more sense for a flute to be a skinny bread and the baker said, “In Paris it is. I thought you were from the South?”
- oh, that hurt
- I guess I’m from the part of the South that’s so close to Italy the bread’s waist size matters less than whether it’s got olives in it, but I left the bakery having an existential crisis over whether living in Paris had made me forget my roots
- the Least Intimidating Bakery just had normal baguettes vs. seedy baguettes vs. horny baguettes (easy mode, some have seeds, some have horns), while the new bakery has breads that are only different on a molecular level—there’s a good old loaf and then another, identical loaf called a bastard? google told me a bastard is “halfway between a baguette and a bread” but denouncing them like “those are not regulation-sized bastards” would get me banned from the bakery for life
- on my 2nd visit (while I stood in line discreetly googling baguette terminology) there was an English tourist who asked for a baguette while pointing at what was either a rustique or a sesame and I felt a bit worried for them, but the baker just clarified “this one?” to waive any responsibility if they found out later it wasn’t a classic baguette, then handed them the bread without educating them in a judgmental tone and I felt envious
- I know it’s because she thinks the English are beyond saving but still it made me want to come back with a fake moustache and an English accent so I wouldn’t be expected to play bakery on expert mode just because I’m French. I asked for a pastry this time and the baker asked “no bread with that?” which felt cruel, like she wanted me to sprinkle myself with ashes and admit out loud that my level of bread proficiency isn’t as advanced as I once believed it was
- The third time I went, I had lost all self-confidence and I hesitantly pointed at a bread and said “I’d like this, uh—what is it called?” and the baker looked at me in disbelief and said “That’s a baguette.”
- God.
- for the record, if that stupid bread had been flanked by a skinny bread (ficelle) and a fat one (flute) then yeah of course I would have known to call it a baguette, but in the absence of reference points I now felt lost and scared of being called a Parisian again
- it’s hard to express the depth of my suffering so I’ll just let the facts speak for themselves: this morning a French person (me) stood in a French bakery in France surrounded by French people and pointed at a baguette and said “what is this called”
sure, a guy from patriot front who runs a 1942 nazi rp server on gmod got caught trying to sell "femboy tummy pills" within a day by leaving his full legal name on the paypal transaction site. why not
fished through my tumblr over dinner tonight to find this post bc i quote it all the time and i wanted to show my pal who’s a twin. his face fell. “that’s us”
his eyes were bloodshot and his mouth agape. i think he’s just in awe at how funny it is and i go “lol who’s sniff and who’s whimper” and he goes. “no. THAT’S US.”
called his brother to get here asap with the hard drives of the day they were born, spent the next hour doing a deep dive to find the source of this image and analyzing the video. the only differences are the sheet and crib they’re in but we think they may have been moved to a secondary location between the video and this image because their features are identical and the hats are the EXACT same down to how they’re resting on their heads, and they were not provided by the hospital.
i quote sniff and whimper every day. i show everybody i know this gif i think it is that funny. my friend and i were laying on the ground like two hours before dinner going “i’m sniff..” “i’m whimper!” in little voices.
i fucking know sniff and whimper. i’ve known sniff and whimper all along.
shoutouts to @merlowmash for liking every one of my drawings when i post them. and also shoutouts to @jordasn for using my art i gifted them as their profile picture hahaha
generational trauma hasn’t affected me and if i catch myself holding back angry tears at the thought of how the trial of soldier f turned out that doesnt mean anything
like not only did they decide not to prosecute him they decided to never prosecute any of the war criminals in the british army to have ever harmed anyone in northern ireland. and most british people aren’t angry. most of them didn’t even notice. if they were in the army they think he’s a war hero. john duddy was 17 and he was running away. he was unarmed
how do i make every retired british soldier read and absorb this
