if this polling result surprises you, i am issuing emergency guidance for you to touch grass immediately

There's a grape academy

Side note: people really need to stop it with the algospeak. I cannot take you seriously if you refer to rape as "grape" in some quest to avoid something something "the algorithm."

Why did they let Laurie and Keith just leave the movie two thirds through? They were our heroes! We were rooting for them! When they just bounced the movie lost its humanity.

Also, Henry Winkler seemed like a fun big bad, and they just, like, kill him immediately? I dunno man. I get that you want a movie where an old lady who knits says "suck on this" while shooting people and then gets killed with a knitting needle but like...you can't wring any real satire out of that?

Hot Fuzz was really clear about this: the town was killing people to maintain its quaint, antique rural English sensibility, and the new cop in town realized that the system had to be destroyed. Normal doesn't know what it's saying, or who its heroes or villains are, and not in a morally complex way

There's a scene in the epilogue where the new sheriff (who at one point was very much one of the bad guys) looks on an Asian guy walking around with suspicion, and it's part of the "happy" ending, I think? It's really, really confusing.

But then Odenkirk decides to join forces with the town and fend off the Yakuza so that they can...what? Continue to maintain the status quo and keep their blood money? At that point is loses any sense of meaning. What does the film believe it's saying about right and wrong here?

Early on, the themes seem to be clear: Normal getting to maintain its image as a an ideallic rural town with cute diners and knitting supply shops is built on lies and bloodshed. I'm the ideal audience for "Hot Fuzz but Minnesota," I'm a hundred percent down for this.

NORMAL (2026): there's fun to be had here, for sure, but what the hell is it trying to say? Spoilers in subsequent posts.

Important question mayor, did you do the "babies on the bus" section and if so is there a picture of you and Mr. Obama doing the mock crying?

Okay the light should be in the process of leaving your eyes then

Did you kill Jimmy Donaldson and fall victim to the Beast Clause?

Alan Dershowitz, consider yourself cancelled

The dying gasp of booze in the weed age

I remember there was a guy doing Josh samples at the liquor store one time and I tried some and he asked me what I thought and I could only reply honestly that it fuckin sucked

I know that everyone has probably already made this joke but is the new PM of Woke Hungary old enough to drink?

The infowars website denies that the takeover is happening. Also one of their big top stories is like of a nigerian guy eating a cat in italy or something. Is there any plan to acquire the infowars dot com domain name?

Facts are if you are a scorpion you are almost certainly getting your shit rocked before you land even one (1) human kill. Hate to say it because they look so cool but sucks to suck

If we go by KD ratio scorpions are fuckin trash. Meanwhile hippos are surely in the net positive.

If we actually did break down by species, hippo would skyrocket because there are only two species of hippo, one of which is the cute lil baby ones that I dont think is doing much of the people-eating.

the actual list where they give sources brings elephants way down

I think I'll grant snakes. Sure, there are like a thousand different kinds of snake that kill you, but if i'm willing to count asian and african elephants together then i can give snakes the same courtesy

Also "big cats" is like ten different animals, you can't be counting leopard kills with lion kills, that's cheating

The graphic puts hippos at 50, the list has 500, with four different sources all agreeing on 500

The list has different numbers than the infographic

Dogs are high up, makes sense. We’re around them all the time. Only "wild animal that directly kills you instead of infecting you with a disease" that beats hippo is crocodile

Looking at the wikipedia list of deadliest animals, and a bunch of these shouldnt count. "Mosquitoes" like come on you arent getting eaten alive by mosquito swarms, youre just getting malaria

It's funny that the poster is implying this is an absurd premise, a joke from a board game for three-year olds, when eating people is absolutely every hippo's favorite activity.

What's funny (derogatory) about this is that you could entirely accept his (false) premise that the average IQ of Somalians is 70, but then point out that there's no way in hell that any particular individual with a clinically verifiable IQ of 70 could navigate the refugee and resettlement process

In '29 there'll be a Kendrick '32 on there
