Yugoslavia. Mainly because it’s not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.

I don’t think hip hop songs in general tend to get covered, or at least not that I’m aware of (am absolutely open to being corrected on that).

I guess a lot of the rhymes are often very specifically about the person rapping, so someone else doing it might be a bit weird.

That said, I do know of one good example in eLZhi’s Elmatic a remake of Nas’ Illmatic. It has significantly rewritten lyrics though.

I don’t think they were calling you the dimwit, definitely aimed at RFK I think.

Some new records, including this gorgeous translucent green 12"…

Jesus Christ… Those spoilers! That sounds like a properly messed up game 😁

Absolutely. Make it so.

about 40% (assuming you work age 20-70) of the workforce disappears over night

Although OP said “drops dead”, so suddenly there are a LOT of corpses to deal with too. Fun!

Counterpoint:

Have the holo deck just keep reconfiguring itself to effectively allow me to explore large areas.

Sounds like photorealistic Minecraft. Which sounds cool.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I completely agree about the replayability of Lego.

I was thinking more in terms of gift impact - to get something that looks great immediately, instead of in hindsight, can cost a fair bit.

The best gift IMO would be just a huge bucket/box of random bricks, to leave it all to the imagination, but for a kid that might not seem very exciting, at least at first.

Why not Lego?

Probably cost, Lego’s really expensive for what you get, sadly.

+1 on the Dr Seuss - such a fun and joyful way to explore unusual language and weird concepts in fantastical worlds.

Discovered that a record I thought I had listened to and not really liked, actually has a banger on it. Money not wasted after all!

So, it’s your fault? Pitchforks at the ready folks.

Nothing wrong with red hair. Mine’s brown now, but was red when I was a kid, and I got bullied for it all the time. Fuck that noise, and fuck the way it’s just accepted as being socially ok to mock people for their hair colour.

Yes.

Daaaaaaammmmnnnn. That’s a lot of vinyl. Lovely 😍

I don’t know it, but some other info that might help someone ID it would be:

• Was it a painting, a drawing, a photo, etc?
• Was it full colour, black and white (probably not, given the red smoke - unless that was the only colour)?
• Can you see the astronauts’ faces? Are they male/female, black/white, etc?
• Roughly how long ago did you see it? That would at least help rule out anything more recent.

You could also try !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world - it’s quieter, but it’s intended for this sort of thing, so you never know.

Good luck! 😁

Same here - any notification, for anything, my immediate assumption is that it’s someone who (rightly or wrongly) is angry with me or has bad news, or whatever. It’s fucking exhausting.
