Futurama @lemmy.world•Futurama Revival to Cover COVID, Bitcoin, NFTs, and MoreEnglish
1·3 years agoWell, I don’t disagree with you about what they did to Clone High, but Futurama’s history with cancellations/reboots is pretty unique, and they’ve gotten pretty good at it.
When I first watched the one with Susan Boyle/Susan the Boil, I rolled my eyes because that was already old news when the episode came out. But upon rewatch, that episode did give us some great jokes (“Shut up and take my money!”) and good satire.
They also sometimes do classic movie plots or “scary” episodes, and each season has an anthology. I for one am confident this season will be entertaining.
(also, I love the anthology episodes, sue me lol)
First time seeing this, thanks! Most of them are spot on. Kif needs to be squishier!

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•Today I learned that oranges in the USA are allowed to be artificially dyed orange by the FDA and are commonly sold that way to boost eye appeal
1·3 years agoIn the 1920s a bunch of tobacco salesmen decided that they could make women associate cigarettes with the women’s rights movement. Smoking was previously seen as “unladylike”, but thanks to a handful of well-placed marketing campaigns, they were able to get women smoking almost overnight. What an accomplishment!
Personally, I’m of the opinion that marketing/advertising is one of the most insidious problems society has.





Maangchi is the greatest!
