This sounds like something from The Handmaid’s Tale, ffs.
This was an ad in the early 90's. I first saw it in a textbook in the late 90's, used as an example of the "slippery slope" fallacy.
Now it's over 20 years later. It's happening.
when brains r like "today i will not brain" my brother in christ you are a brain

sometimes I think people think "narrative parallels" means "exactly the same" and like...that's not the point, actually, the point with narrative parallels is that they're variations on a theme that are meant to illuminate something about each variation. a narrative parallel that is just a precise reiteration of another thing isn't saying anything. it's just redundant.
on the other hand this also does not mean every narrative parallel is meant to be a sort of goofus and gallant "this one good, this one bad" didactic moral lesson. so jot that down too
iceland’s two seasons: hibernation and mania
February, 1994: The New Zealand government's official Wizard is invited by the Mayor of Tamworth, Australia to perform a rain dance (approved by the local Aboriginal Commission) in an attempt to break the region's ongoing drought.
The Wizard travels to Australia on a special passport provided by the British High Commission stamped "The Wizard of New Zealand", over concerns that his claim he is 'not subject to mortal laws' may cause issues at immigration.
Three days after his dance, the town was inundated with rain, with the wizard reporting that the subsequent flooding "produced many letters of complaint".
Following his success, the Wizard announced he would be staking claim to the title of "Wizard of Oz".

buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.
As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.
Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.
the general population’s education of indigenous american cultures is literally painful like people walk around not knowing that native americans domesticated dogs and turkeys, that many communities had farms that stretched for hundreds of miles, that many communities had completely terraformed their territories, that there were native trade systems stretching across the continent, that there were native metalsmiths before european arrival, that most native people were multilingual etc
also fed up with peoples assumption that sedentary cultures were “more advanced”. like sure, they had technology that hunter gatherer cultures didn’t, but that’s because the hunter gatherer cultures didn’t need those technologies. hunter gatherer cultures have their own ways of doing things, and they do it that way because it works for them. like what if i called you less advanced because you don’t know how to make a serrated arrowhead, and you don’t know how to work a bow drill or an atlatl or a long bow.
Hey, if you’re non-Native/not indigenous like me, I found this book to be helpful. It comes both as the original text for adult audiences and a version for young people that felt kinda like the history textbook I should have had in fourth-sixth grade.
hey, does anyone want to lock antlers and drown together in a cold lake? it has to be weird.
not to talk about doctor who but remember being a lonely depressed teenager and hearing him say ‘900 years of time and space and i’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important’
