Consider yourself lucky. I think I was in high school.

I was very relieved when Rick Rolling replaced that trend.

Oh yeah and there were a handful of multiplayer ones where one player used the left half of the keyboard and the second player used the right half.

And maybe a handful of websites where there was actually a chatroom where you talked with a stranger while you played your shitty flash game.

The Internet was…Weird. it was way more anonymous and way less centralized. You didn’t just check Reddit or Lemmy or YouTube, you had a favorites bar. You would go down the list and check 4 different flash websites, 3 forums, and some news/entertainment article sites.

And friends would constantly tell you new sites you had to check out. And webcomics. You would find a webcomic and read it from the start, then add it to your weekly update list.

It was also peak gross Internet. You would always be wary of links friends would send. Goatse and lemon party were guaranteed to be hiding in one.

Everyone had their favorite flash game site. Simple, one player games that you did just for fun. No achievements or social element besides sharing the link with a friend.

My little sister watched this movie on repeat for a solid six months. I can’t remember if it was any good because I was so angry by the end.

That’s fair. I really enjoyed the steampunk plus bending vibe, but I can accept it’s not for everyone.

Hated the giant robot ending, but honestly I wasn’t the biggest fan of the dragonball z ending of AtLA either.

There was no fan service that I remember and bi people exist.

The Varrick was one of the more fun side characters out of both series. His old timey cockiness and immorality was really interesting.

Korra started off cocky and pampered, then got her ass handed to her time and time again, slipped into depression and came back.

The equalist movement was awesome and raised good points.

Zaheer was a cooler villain than most Aang villains.

Korra had its flaws but I thought it was enjoyable and rewatchable.

That’s another possible explanation. I still like mine more, but still cool.

The retcon makes it seem like lava bending should be more common though. Like, you would think King Boomy would be able to lava bend, with his chill demeanor and philosophy.

That the exotic bending we see if due to mixing races.

Lava bending is earth bending and fire bending. That’s why Bolin can lava bend, but his earth bending isn’t pure enough for him to metal bend.

Explosion bending is air and fire. Sand bending is earth and air.

Whatever the class, this person is a goblin. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Let the original actors voice the puppets, but rewrite the dialogue to match them.

That was great. I’ve never seen a matter wash board player before.

Xena was obviously better, but BOTH had sexy young Bruce Campbell as the king of thieves.

Exploding trap. It destroys whatever is thrown on it and whatever is on an adjacent tile.

You would have to levitate, use chains, or a stone of disarming.

IDK if I missed something or I just disagree, but I remember all but maybe one short story ending up with the laws working as intended (though unexpectedly) and humanity being better as a result.

Didn’t they end with humanity being controlled by a hyper-intelligent benevolent dictator, which ensured humans were happy and on a good path?

Ever heard of a deer? Try again sweaty 💅💅

No it’s stupider and more complicated than that.

There’s too much proof evolution exists, so they had to pretend that is part of God’s plan too, but it doesn’t work like science says it does.

The Bible says Noah got 2 of every “kind” of animal. So they made up a new label for the animal Kingdom. Animals fall into different “kinds.”

Instead of getting 2 spider monkeys, 2 capuchin monkeys, two marmosets, etc, Noah got two chimpanzees. God killed every other primate species in the world with a flood. Then all the monkeys and apes we see today evolved in the 10,000 years (6,000? I forget) since they got off the ark.

So all the fossils from the flood are the species whose “kinds” were accounted for elsewhere.

These unrealistic beauty standards are getting out of control.

It was a valiant effort and you had fun tweaking your slice.

Beautiful! What does the toggle do?

But if you succeed at step one, what’s the point of step two?
