A salmon does it everyone is happy. Your local priest does it, everyone loses their minds

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

It's because the salmon dies at the end.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It’s cause it doesn’t result in a baby. That’s against god’s law.

Someone could fake nearly any weird messed up scene and claim it happened in "The Magic School Bus" - and I would believe it.

I've seen enough of that show to just assume the editors only knew the phrase "did the kids survive? That's fine then."

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The above is misleading though, they weren’t in eggs at the time

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

As with so many scenes in "The Magic School Bus", that clarification makes me think "oh, that's better then...I guess...?"

We never got nutted on by salmon at my old school!

Thanks Obama.

Those kids must have grown up yo have weird kinks.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Remember the one where they went inside Ralphie's body? That show was fucking weird

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

All science fiction adjacent shows are legally required to do at least one Inner Space during their run, that episode was just business.

Did Star Trek ever do one?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

DS9 did shrink a runabout in "One Little Ship" but it didn't actually go inside a person. Does that count?

Edit: got the title wrong

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or when they went to Pluto or something and Ralphie took off his helmet for some reason and fucking died? 😆

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It was Arnold

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

You're absolutely right!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

There were 2 more body episodes, one where Arnold turned orange and another one where they helped Ms. Frizzle win a field day.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

I watched that recently about the digestive path and all, was wondering how they where gonna get through without having them end up in the toilet.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I remember when the Frizz suggested the way out and none of the kids wanted to go through the butthole.

Remember the baseball game straight out a physics book that says "ignore friction?"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

Is anyone here really gonna argue that Ms. Frizzle wasn't obviously a bukkake queen?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Remember when Arnold threw a fit and took off his helmet on fucking Pluto, his head immediately froze solid, and basically they just thawed him out and he was fine?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Yet when I do it…

Can't do this anymore. Not since teaching became "woke".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is like the wokest show, it's so wokes that it teaches science to children

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The Magic School Bus was from a time before woke pollution. I fondly remember every episode ending with the class yelling at the Latino student.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Because he was the class clown, not because he was brown.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What does woke mean?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Things pensioners who vote don't like.

From my limited insight (only seeing it on the internet since this only exists in English) it seems to be a loose term to refer to many, but not all progressive societal movements that contradict the world view of the last few decades.

Examples: LGBTQIA+ culture (pride month / parade, featuring them in movies/books (this one isn't new but still apparently counts as woke), ...), new laws to require a certain percentage of [whatever, for example a company's employees] to be female / to be coloured, ...

Somehow apparently not included (correct me if I'm wrong, again, I only know this term from the internet): Women getting less children but working more, the fight for equality for women.

So far I've usually seen it in negative context, not always but often hostile.
