Have you ever like, genuinely listened to RHCP? Lyrically speaking it's shear unbridled nonsense with maybe three songs that actually have any coherent sense or meaning. Californication reads like someone put a bunch of tabloids in a shedder and then glued every full word they found to craft paper like a ransom letter. And even still everyone from my grandma to the local homeless credit it as a good song.
I genuinely think they got stupid high and accidentally discovered a memetic hazard that they've been using to make 90% of the population believe they write good music.
In middle school, before my family has access to the internet, I was taught about how other nations agreed to use the American dollar as a standard and the benefits of leaving the good standard for a fiat currency. I asked if they wasn't a bad idea because it means if that one country had economic problems everyone would and was promptly told that that's a dumb question because America can't have economic problems.
I was raised agnostic and abused through school for not being Christian by people who worship a man that condemned that exact action.
I think I was always destined to feel the way I do.
Pigs. Pigs take one generation to revert to feral state and are naturally pack hunting, intelligent, omnivores. Right now Texas and Florida is dealing with cases of hogs pulling apart horses to eat. There are cases where the hogs followed hunters home and trashed the place in retaliation.
It's a testament to our hubris that we've kept pigs and dogs for so long. Dogs won't recover, but pigs only need a year to come back for blood.
Just re-watched this for the first time as an adult last night and my gods is it a movie of it's time. Spouse and I died every time music came on. The dialogue sounds like they were ad-libing all the way through, also why was this a movie? It feels like two season finale episodes crammed together with some filler and explosion.
That said, I loved it and it said so much about my childhood that my favorite movie as a kid suffers from equally unchecked ADHD.
I get that the Venn diagram of people who want to watch a robot/monster punch-out movie and viscerally hate three concept of a teen and/or female protagonist is so very close to being a circle, but I actually love every bit of that movie and I'm genuinely upset that the characters are what everyone wanted to talk about there. Charlie getting high off monster brain and turning out to be evil? The secret monster brains in all the robots? The idea that controlablility correlates to mass? There's so much to work with here! The only negative mark I give it is for the lack of Ron Pearlman.
The most unbelievable thing about these movies is the competent government that makes the plot happen. In real life the astroid would kill the planet before they admit it exists. That's actually why these are comfort movies for my spouse and I, it's nice to believe in a world where people aren't stupid.
I just watched this for the first time about 3 months ago and it became my spouse's absolute favourite for those 3 months. It honestly feels like it should have been a videogame. The Musk praise is so fucking funny given the current state of the US, the premise makes less than no sense, but it's just so freaking good.

I just put a doctor's title on my business card because it looks cool." — wack as fuck conspiracy theorist who happens to be right.
I honestly have never met a millennial who cares about star wars, this is our parents drama.
