Adam wears that shirt often ;)

So I remembered Adam Savage mentioning that he got the phrase from a friend, so I went hunting for the video. Anyone heard of a film called Dungeon Masters?:

I only know that from the Epic Rap Battle of History

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

If it was before Mythbusters, Adam stole it, otherwise they did hehe, remember of course nothing is truly original

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

I don't think it's that obscure to people of a certain age, but every time someone orders a salad, my immediate reaction is "You don't win friends with that!"

wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

and to a lesser extent, 'snarf snarf'

The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.

“My shoes are too tight, and I’ve forgotten how to dance”

“The avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to vote”

Those might not be %100 right

If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty… and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.

"Oh I feel it. I feel the cosmos!"

I don't know why that quote in particular is one I quote but its still funny to me.

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Nothing comes to mind right now, but cool idea!

[-] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Me I have the opposite problem. Lord help me if I ever make a game it will be FULL of niche references lol

"Sorry I smell like piss. You know how it is."

!One of many quotable lines from Death to Smoochy, a.k.a. Robin Williams' most underrated movies.!<

But time flows like a river. And history repeats.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Most of my references are from a sketch comedy troupe but my favorite of theirs is

"Whose a good baby? Presumably you are!" said to a baby. With a silly intonation. I like saying it with the weird intonation to cats. I don't have a human baby, prop or not!

Anytime someone asks what I am or have been up to:

"Oh you know, just hanging out and playing nintendo".

No one I've ever met got that it was a direct movie quote.

Tap for spoilerOne of many from the amazing movie The Apartment.

[-] determinist@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

this is in my top 10 favourite films.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I discovered it very late in life. Maybe ten years ago or so and I was floored.

[-] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Weird...on my mobile client the spoiler hiding doesn't seem to work so I literally see the markdown triple colon spoiler lol

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I am on Voyager and it works on it. What client are you on?

[-] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Eternity. It's kinda abandoned it seems but open source

[-] RustySharp@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah I loved eternity, but the bugs keep piling up to the point of annoyance. Very happy with Thunder these days. And Voyager is great too. Both open source and very actively developed.

Your insubordination has guaranteed your death, there can be no alternative.
