Let’s call it powershitting

There was a post somewhere that I saw some time ago and there was a bathroom a lot like this, not all glass, but a glass window you could see to and from the bed, as well as mirrors all over that let you see to and from the bed and someone explained that those kinds of bathrooms/hotel rooms are that way for sex stuff, like paid sex stuff. I don’t remember the exact reasoning, but it’s not to watch someone take a dump. I mean I guess if someone’s into that then two birds with one stone, but it was more along the lines of security or something, so you can see neither party is doing something malicious, stealing or spicing a drink with something.

Maybe this is something like that as well.

I’m glad someone enjoyed it! I don’t think I could cringe as much watching a show as when I was watching that. I’d rather watch Dawson’s Creek or something. There were a lot of elements that could’ve made it great, but it just really felt horrible watching it the whole time. In comparison the weird X-Files reboot was at least kind of fun, Dexter was like watching a trainwreck to me.

No-one’s mentioned Dexter yet, so I’m gonna go ahead and do that. What a shit show. I really don’t get why they brought it back from the dead. Sure the original ending was kind of shitty, but it wasn’t that bad they had to revive it and kill it for good.

Exactly.

“Owning the [insert taste of the month]”.

It’s the same exact shit as "how can you tell someone’s vegan? - THEY’LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT!!!, yet in my entire 30+ years of life I’ve never heard anyone ever say they’re vegan or vegetarian or anything unless asked about, but I have a feeling I won’t stop hearing someone announce that they eat meat AND MEAT ONLY or some shit like that until I die.

Shit got tired before it even started, because it’s just the same old shit in a different wrapper.

No that’s it exactly, lol, we’re getting lost in a jungle of double-negatives.

• The Onion - satire
• Not the Onion - things that happen that are so outlandish you’d think it is satire
• This - Neither, cause it’s someone making shit up, just some conservative asshole flogging the same dead horse with the same, tired old stick joke

I thought “not the onion” wasn’t supposed to be satire, except I don’t know if this even counts as satire, this is just dumb. Literally the same joke, every time.

Well I mean, while Gen-Z humor and memes are mostly a lot more abstract and surreal and while there are elements of that in the beans meme it’s not really just that. It’s a concept piece. In a similar way Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup was and similar pieces of art.

The whole point was to make a point about something, namely, like the title of the post lays it out itself “I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans”. What it says about the lemmy community, maybe nothing, maybe it’s just a fucking can of beans and there really is no intended or inherent deeper meaning and that is irrelevant really.

My point being, it’s kind of all things you talked about, but even more, but also just beans. Schrödinger’s beans.
