Thanks for sharing this. I’m in the process of watching 100 movies this year and decided to start with the oldest movies I had in my watchlist. (At the time it was Citizen Kane and now It’s The Grapes of Wrath.) I’ve been jumping a bit from decade to decade, but have found that I’ve been finding movies from the 60s that I enjoy. This movie seems like an excellent addition to my 60s movie watchlist.

I sense that most people don’t realize this is a old meme joke and this format is similar to the Successful Black Man or Dating Site Murderer memes, where there is an intended re-direct punchline in them. At first, people most likely think this is going to be some bigotry meme at the expense of Arab people, but it’s not. It’s a re-direct and reference to an old meme called Boom Goes the Dynamite. If you found this to be in bad taste or the like, I can understand. And that is your prerogative. I know my intent, morals and values, and gave this meme a shot.

Ok, seriously. What glam rock band member did this horse get it’s mane from?

I found your shirt really weird and off putting. But by golly am I gonna support you and others like you to have the freedom to wear and share these things online. It’s not my cup of tea you might say, but that shouldn’t lead to others preventing you from liking it and or sharing it. So get down with your “weird” self!

I’m pretty sure they used this prompt in one of the Austin Powers movies. No?

In a slightly odd way, I think this might be a positive for some looking for a new place online.

A split second look had me wondering what a garden gnome (the bag of charcoal birquetts, a black lab looking at us with glowing green eyes, a soccer ball and a fire have to do with one another. I still don’t know but there’s a doggo.

Holy cats!! I didn’t know about this and now I want it in my life ASAP.

Hahaha. You were missing something. The timeline where that’s what we call a PB&J. All plausible.

That’s the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn’t decide on one term that I’ve heard more than the other, so I’ll share them all.

• Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement

• Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact

• The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value

Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.

…

This kind of act isn’t as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.

You’re doing better than at least 1/3 of the world. (This comment is not backed by science. Just by a feeling.)

I can understand the feeling that it seems so young. But If we take into account that the World Wide Web, a public network, (or in other words, a non-military/government/higher education based network,) started in 1989 and opened up to the public in 1993. As for U.S. American’s (and probably other countries as well), the internet infrastructure wasn’t wasn’t well established and ready to take on 10’s of millions of WWW users daily. It wasn’t until 1996 in the U.S., where we would have around 3,750,000 internet service users. (Using the population info from here for the rough estimate.) And according to the graph below, it wasn’t until about midway through 2001 when the U.S. crossed over the 50% population with internet access.

So what I’m highlighting here is that, Wikipedia.org going live in 2001 is actually impressive for it’s time. And it’s old in comparison to a lot of main-stay websites. Also, remember Wikipedia wasn’t asking for users to pay a monthly subscription or have to deal with seeing ads on the platform. So server costs even then, were being funded in other ways. All of that to me is seriously impressive.

Thank you for the reply. That clears things up for me.
