1950's advertising is hilarious to me

1950's advertising is hilarious to me.

I don't mean gross stuff like SomethingAweful.

I'm talking someone's fever dream neocities page that details how to make a UFO engine using element 115.

A blog that is wild conspiracy stuff that has aged like fine wine.

Or some serial forum post that makes no sense but seems too complex to be performative.

17776 is a good example, if you're not familiar.

Hi everyone - posting here mostly interested in connecting with fellow esoteric-friendly lemmy users.

I've done blind-to-target remote viewing, but a problem with that is that you can't just pick your targets. I've tried map dowsing and did....meh. I haven't used tarot in a while, but thinking about letting a deck come back into my life if it happens to happen. I'm out of practice and coming back to it.

Curious what others around here are favor or have had work well for them.

Pundits love to say they see Trump's pattern, but they also love to talk about their areas of expertise.

Remember that trade war with China? That help we were going to give to protesters in Iran? Champaign tariffs? Billions in investments from the Saudis and Qatar?

Trump's pattern is that when he fucks up and affects the money, that issue is no longer in play. That's why the TACO term came from Wall Street. They see the pattern as well because it's their daily life. He did the same thing in the first term.

Trump's pattern on anything that sticks around for more than 14 days:

• Float the balloon to get your meager base on your side and ramped up. See if meme traction materializes. Three stupid memes to share from some groyper? Nod from Peter Thiel? Now you're hooked.

• Move the Overton Window so far that slight capitulation might get you something.

• Throw everyone else's resources at the problem to exhaust opposition. Make everyone else waste time and money just to stand in your way. The costs are theirs alone.

• Lose and say you won. Explain the win as something just around the corner, long term, etc.

Greenland as a topic is 100% dead. It ran the course and he lost badly. The EU told him "maybe we'll get you a puppy next year for your birthday, OK Donnie?"

Oh....hey, how are those troop movements near Iran going?

I put down a few bucks on the horses on the first Saturday in May, but it seems like online sports betting is just specifically designed to screw people out of all their money as fast as possible.

I guess....change my mind? Or don't.

Edit: I wasn't asking anyone to convince me to gamble, I was curious who the hell actually throws money in a black hole and wanted to hear their perspective. Thanks for the downvotes.

No AI used. I have 5 fingers on each hand! There are 27...wait, no, 5.... wait... no, 4 lights! No, that's not it. Oh, no , it's 3 Rs in strawberry. That's it.

This made for TV movie originally aired in syndication instead of Hercules/Xena reruns. Later ran on SciFi. It's the same premise as Galaxy Quest, but on a more individual scale.

It's cheesy, it's campy, and it's worth a watch for some quality 90's throwback entertainment.

Request from @Allero@lemmy.today...well, kinda. They asked for J-Law and got this. Put yer GD pitchforks away.

No AI used, ya snobs!

Credit to @Broadfern@lemmy.world for coming up with "MinTay" as an OS name.

Just curious.

For me, it's in Season 6 when everyone gets amnesia due to WIllow's spell forgetfulness spell oopsie. Once they undo the spell and everyone's standing around, Xander chuckles and says "I just back the memory of watching King Ralph."

No idea why it's THAT moment, but it sticks with me and always makes me smile.
