go to your post history and quote your first post, then when a few other people do it we'll all quote our second post, etc.

To restart this awesome topic:

"Like tears in the rain, they will be lost forever."
-Roy from Blade Runner

and we get:

"There is no rain."
Roy the replicant meteorologist. *Stifles giggle*

and we can all make fun of each other

So obviously none of us are completely mild-mannered and boring, but obviously it's not acceptable to be an incredibly edgy douchebag all the time so if you are an edgy douche internally then you sort of have to keep it to yourself. In this thread you can blow of some edgy steam if you want and it's okay. So I'll start.

How about that late stage capitalism huh? All these Super Bowl ads are kinda crazy, they don't even sell products anymore, they just kinda randomly touch upon some things that are culturally significant like emojis or something and then say "buy this". Kinda weird right? Like what's going on with advertising? What's going on with all these reboots and stuff too, why is advertising really focusing heavily on "nostalgia" and stuff? Is the current generation really into regressing into like, childhood things? There's a graphic design trend recently of making everything bright, colorful, and simplistic. It sure does look nice, but again it seems like the kind of thing that appeals to little kids. Does it have to do with the rising rates of mental illness? Do people just need to be a little more childlike to cope?

Is advertising just being distilled down into appealing shapes, colors, and sounds, coupled with familiar ideas and concepts, in order to create a positive association in our brain with the product being sold? Is that what advertising has always been?

lmao weird marketing dystopia, discuss (or discuss your other edgy, anti-establishment ideas)

Alright, so, maybe you've all heard of this, but: SOLAR ROADWAYS.

Basically, two scientists have created durable solar panels that can be used to pave roads. And just think about how much pavement there is on the world! Anyway, they need money for their indiegogo campaign and I think this is a really huge deal.

You are The Ruler of the Universe. You have two children, but their names and genders are undetermined. Underneath you is a vast expanse of many, many things, all of which are nothing. You must create a planet in this emptiness, to brighten it up a bit.

The Rules

(detox was not involved at all)

• One of the siblings will be sent to live on the world and will not return until he or she is ruler of the entire planet.
• The other sibling will try to mess up his/her plans.
• The Ruler of the Universe (you people) is allowed to make a change to the world every three turns, which can be anything at all (much like IT). Basically, this means that on each turn you can make a suggestion to the siblings to do stuff, and after the third one you can change it yourself. If no one makes a suggestion after a while, I'm just gonna double post to get on to the next turn.
• The game restarts when the "ruler" child becomes ruler or the "anti-ruler" child defeats the "ruler".
• ABSOLUTELY NO GORRAMN PONIES!! (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, YUU!)

There is emptiness. What kind of planet will there be? What kind of children do you have?

NOTE: The last time I tried to do this, you jerkwads spammed it with GIFs so I abandoned it. Now I'm maturerer, I'm I'm trying it again.
