If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

Jump

  • Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book's backstory.

    • Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?

    Jump

  • Cabin in the Woods is fine art.

    10/10 Premise 10/10 Execution

    I'm helping my teenager get through all the horror tropes so we can watch Cabin in the Woods together.

  • Why is the Original Tribal Chief in this meme, tho?

    • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • Even the toploaders do the same thing now. They don't actually fill with water like they used to. I got frustrated with my modern toploader and that's how I wound up with the highest rated frontloader I could find. Both garbage.

    The washing machine I bought in 1996 for $250 cleaned clothes better than any machine I've had in decades.

    I just want to wash my clothes. In water.

    • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • Washing machines.

    My washing machine 15 years ago would wash my clothes with...uhhhh...fucking water.

    Now you can't buy washing machines that actually wash your clothes in water. They all spritz your clothes with a little water then jiggle around your damp clothes for a bit.

    I don't live in a desert. I live in a place with access to plenty of water. I should be allowed to buy a washing machine that actually fills up with soapy water and washes my damn clothes.

    I could buy a Speed Queen washer for $2,000 from a specialty store, but that's ridiculous. Why can't I just buy a washing machine that washes my clothes? They're ALL terrible now. All the washers in all the big box stores are just...bad.

    • Yes, but

  • They'll gladly take your overweight bag if you give them extra...money. The airlines don't care about baggage handlers.

    • Yes, but

    • Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?

    Jump

  • Totally agree but for the opposite reason.

    Wrasslin' is very story driven. Not everyone has time to watch, and the sports news outlets is all spoilers.

    It's like a Harry Potter fan opening their news feed to "Snape kills Dumbledore after epic battle!" plastered all over the news on the day after the book came out. (my apologies to any Harry Potter fans who haven't read all the books or seen all the movies by now, in 2025).

    • Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?

    Jump

  • I know professional wrestling is as real as the MCU or the latest episode of Severance. I am still entertained by all three.

    Wrestling winds up in the "sports" section because news outlets have to classify it somehow. That's not the fault of wrestling fans.

    There's really no need in life to yuck other people's yum. If it's not for you, that's cool.

    • What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

    Jump

  • Fair enough. In the Elon one there are probably some people that would want to hear more. It was hard for me to come up with an example.

    We shouldn't downvote the unpopular opinion, we should upvote it. It's counterintuitive but we're actually asking for unpopular opinions. I see a lot of truly interesting unpopular opinions in here that are getting downvoted and I'm not sure everyone is on the same page.

    The "unpopular opinions" that should be downvoted are the opinions that aren't really unpopular opinions and are just trolling. You know them when you see them.

    • What’s your ultimate unpopular opinion?

    Jump

  • What are the "unpopular opinion" rules on Lemmy?

    My original understanding from outside Lemmy is you should upvote the truly interesting unpopular opinions for visibility.

    For example:

    • "I think potato chips are gross" - that is an unpopular opinion and I am truly interested in why you would say that...upvote.
    • "Elon Musk makes some good points" - not interesting at all and probably political bullshit trolling...no upvote and a downvote if enabled.

    • Florida teacher loses job for calling student by ‘preferred’ name

    Jump

  • Florida is purposefully trying to destroy it's own public school system. They make being a public school teacher so undesirable, and then complain about a "teacher shortage". Of course nobody wants to be a public school teacher in Florida. You can get fired for how you address someone?

    • DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

    Jump

  • I bet they'll do it in Waterfall too.

    Nah B. This will be Extreme Agile XP with testing exclusively in Prod. Xitter will be the code repository.

    • Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage?

    Jump

  • It definitely made me want to like Earl Grey. It's just not my jam though. It even made me start trying all the different teas I could find because I wanted to be cultured enough to have a preferred tea. I even tried Lapsang Souchong which is basically barbecue tea.

    Turns out tea is pretty easy to drink and I'm pretty basic. Oolong, black, or green are great.

    • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Your basic needs aren't being met. That is horrible for any human. I'm sorry... I've been there.

    Jump

  • The part that really sucks is you don't get to really understand this until you're in your 30s/40s. We spend all this time trying to fill a hole in ourselves that can't be filled with stuff.

    There are people reading this right now who are like "yeah, right"...

    • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Yep. Once your basic needs are met and you're not in poverty, any happiness above that line has to come from within yourself.

    • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Meh. I grew up dirt poor, and I am now what past me would have considered successful.

    Funny thing about it, though, I'm still me. I'm that same dirt poor teenager, just older. It didn't change me like I thought it would.

    Absolutely, the lack of money will make you unhappy. Without a doubt. But I've never got a 20% raise and felt 20% happier. You're always gonna be who you are, money or not.
