TWISTED METAL season 2 Trailer just dropped


 
First off I'm just gonna come out and say it.... You're gonna have to forgive this RAW AF review of the trailer. I have always wanted to do these but usually get so excited and caught up in the trailer that I don't capture the reaction or forget to record it alltogether. But not today! (Also....come to think of it, I just GOT A DOUBLE KILL on Anthony Mackie content today)

Captain America: Brave new wreck?

Let's Flip a coin: Is cap 4 gonna bomb, succeed, or just MEH it's way into audiences of the MCU?


 

Say what you want about how 'woke' marvel is, and have your opinions on skipping Bucky and going straight to Sam......please. No, seriously, please do-- You can have different opinions about how Cap is being handled and by all means take that discussion to the comments (as long as you're respectful about differences of opinion), I want to know what you think on this topic.

Sorry, this is short and sweet but it made me laugh....

 Who doesn't love/hate a good troll? Seriously. Even Star Wars has trolling (evidently). I came across a video from a comic where Darth Vader is getting trolled by one of his employees/soldiers/co-workers (IDK what the proper label would be, but somebody in the Imperial Navy aboard a ship he was commanding).

The best/worst part is when the person who is getting trolled flips the script and trolls you back hard, because in this case Darth Vader is straight up RUTHLESS about it when the ruse is discovered. Continue reading to learn more! (and maybe chuckle a little bit.

Lake Michigan Stonge-henge: what I found

(image from: archaeology-world.com )
 


Sooooooooooooooooo I'm sure you just scrolled past my Wife's Birthday Post (well I'd wager you did because it is like 2 articles up ^^) but Here's something that I'd like to talk about because it is friggin cool.

But to reiterate-- I just found out recently that MICHIGAN HAS AN UNDERWATER STONEHENGE!!!! Yeah that's right! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm michigan classic fashion there's a fun twist that keeps the destination from being oversaturated by tourists-- It is underwater in Lake Michigan :-)

That's right lords and Lasses, we got ourselves our own monolithic structure so SUCK IT ENGLAND! (except you Leanne, much love)

In 2007, a team of underwater archaeologists stumbled upon a pattern of rocks that appeared to be arranged in a geometric formation. Unlike the well-known Stonehenge in England, which consists of massive stones stacked in a circular pattern, the stones in Lake Michigan are not stacked but seem to form a distinct shape. This has led to speculation about their origins. (Michigan4u.com)

My Buddy did a thing.......AND IT'S EPIC!!!!!

 So I know this guy......well I've KNOWN this guy..... infact I've known his WHOLE family my WHOLE life (practically). I've been friends with his little brother since I was like 3 or 4....... BEST FRIENDS with his little brother almost my whole childhood. Their family introduced me to all the good stuff: STAR WARS, the ALIEN franchise, PREDATOR, Jurassic Park.... When we were little we rocked POWER RANGERS, TMNT, Biker mice from Mars, MORTAL KOMBAT. Basically me and the Caferelli Boys blew through ALL THE BEST pop culture stuff together growing up, and IT.WAS.TIGHT! 

........Definitely went on a tangent there, TOTALLY OFF TOPIC. Point is...... There's this youtuber, goes by the name DADDYDELICIOUS and he is a PHENOMINAL CHAP. seriously. Such a good dude, such a stand-up guy for other people, such a warm person to be around. He has a heart of gold and a drive to enjoy life. His channel documents his food reviews and his happenings with both his crazy projects (this is why we are here) as well as his charity work through the GHOSTBUSTERS Detroit chapter. We got to work together on many media projects through our mutual friend JOHNNY FLYNN and his media company COURAGEOUS LION STUDIOS. <-----That's right there is an article in and of itself. 

(Pictured Above left to Right: Daddy Delicious, Ernie Hudson, Johnny Flynn)

But here's the bread and butter why you're here....... DaddyDelicious is a chap like myself, he just DOES things. Not for fame, or fortune, or notoriety, or even recognition, no-- People like us typically do things for one main reason...... BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AWESOME and we gotta know. So that being said:

HE MADE A FLAMETHROWER (legally of course)!!!!!!

Who doesn't like seeing cool stuff like that? I know I do....

Wholesomeposting Because why not?

 Sometimes we need to take a break. You know, kick back. Unwind. Sometimes we need to smell the roses and this is a moment for that. I could spend my time making political commentary or doom and gloom over this and that but I'm not going to. I found this clip and it's awesome. I'm prolly going to DATE myself with this post because these two individuals are a part of many childhoods, and a very specific demographic but I don't care (It's just too cool to pass up and I'm not going to be THAT guy). Continue reading to see the rare clip these two shared together. It's just random enough to be epic

Boy what a day: a TIKTOK melodrama

 BREAKING NEWS: INTERNET COMMUNITY LOSES IT S*!t when Social Media platform is banned (but is likely just a farce and will be reinstated soon)

Titles says it all and I'm here for the commentary. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Many Americans awoke on Sunday January 19, 2025 to TIKTOK being inaccessible and were shocked despite all the coverage and notice on the issue prior to the ban.... Many people are calling this block on a PRIVATE BUSINESS platform a breach of free speech and their first amendment rights despite actually understanding how the first amendment works (and I'm again I'm here with the popcorn). Multiple sources report (not really) that people are appalled and shocked by this decision despite the myriad of other platforms with equal amounts of brain rot and doom scrolling.

Dead Internet theory is gettin pretty crazy I tell ya


"In 2013 THETIMES report that Youtube traffic consisted of an estimated 50% bots....."- WHYFILES

THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING WORSE as well.

The Run Down:

Dead Internet theory is defined as:

theory that asserts, due to a coordinated and intentional effort, the Internet since 2016 or 2017 has consisted mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation to control the population and minimize organic human activity.

Dad Joke quota +1.


 

The random things I stumble across: Origins of an Energy Vampire edition

Sometimes the internet comment section isn't a cesspool of cancerous viewpoints and intentional rage bate trolling..... Sometimes the internet comment section is wonderful, sometimes there is legitmate discourse and witty/well thought out responses. Well, this is one of those responses. I found this whilst perusing one of my meme groups where they had a discussion on Energy Vampires:

 "Ah, the enigmatic origins of the energy vampire, Colin Robinson—a question that has intrigued many. The life of an energy vampire is shrouded in mystery, much like the subtle, insidious way we sap the life force from our unsuspecting victims.

Energy vampires, you see, are not born but rather, they emerge. Whether through a gradual realization of one's innate talents or a subconscious gravitation towards draining the emotional energy of others, it is a path that finds us rather than one we consciously choose. For Colin Robinson, it was likely a combination of these factors. The constant need for validation, the delight in mundane conversations, and the exquisite satisfaction derived from watching others' energy wane—all signs that pointed towards his true calling....

Put on your Tinfoil Hats-- We have some Prepper nonsense coming at you

 I'm not Mr. Doom and Gloom, I'm not Mr. Paranoia. I wouldn't say I'm Mr. Don't-trust-your-neighbor, but I definitely would say I'm Mr. Be-prepared. I don't mind getting side-eyes or snickers, I mind starvation and no actionable response. So like with backpacking, like with film production, like with anything I do-- I. Am. Prepared. It is foolish to assume you will rise to the situation because the reality is, when the time comes for ANYTHING, you don't rise but you fall... to your level of preparation. I do RIDULOUS amounts of prep work on any project I am involved with and contingency is my best friend which is why I am typically not caught with my pants down. At the end of the day luck is only an intersection of opportunity and preparation-- not just blind chance from Life's RNG. 

All of that ^ is to say this: If you continue reading I've got some fun videos I'm stumbled across related to the umbrella terms of: EDC, DIY, and prepping. Do please come and check it out though, it is quite amusing and who knows..... could save your life.

IFKYK: Showing my Opinion with images and no words-- A story of conjecture in court

 



What a time to be alive. I love polarizing topics and hopefully I don't get flagged but the memes are too golden to pass up. FINALLY a legit meme round-up and it's a specific topic of interest! huzzah to that and huzzah to this stunning piece of social commentary that just writes itself like an oscar award winning film that is just reality. Wowwy blowwy hammy wammy. Please please please continue reading for some more friggin fire memes on this topic.
(for legal purposes we would never openly endorse of condone violence of any kind here. This post is just an educational piece about the artistic culture via the format of MEMEs are relevent and current affirs regarding the ongoing classwar here in America)

 It's that time of year that some of you LOVE and most of you HATE-- WINTER!

(yay)

So in leu of that I always post preventive maintenance as well as pro-tips involving various facets of home ownership. I'm dusting off my snow blower video from last winter and posting it here. In an effort to reignite my content I'm going to be posting as much random crap as possible. My goal here is to create habit. Man I tell ya, I still very much enjoy doing this and these pieces but holy cow does my self discipline on the matter absolutely suck. But that's my problem and not yours! Enjoy.

This just in: People are shocked when they realize the media may be lying

 

Don't care about what side of our false dichotomy you're o--: But things like this should absolutely not be ignored. For the record I refuse to condone or support or even talk in a positive light BOTH of our dookie choices for this election.

This can be considered anecdotal, and I won't even deny that, but this is still a perspective with an experience most of us will never have. It's easy for doom and gloom to poison your mind and for slick media to influence and sway public opinion but sometimes people are pleasantly surprised. I've said this before and I'll say it again, most people are good-- most people aren't malicious. Most people, in fact, just want a pleasant life that is filled with self prescribed meaning and strong relationships with themselves, their community, the world, their families etc. Hating ideas and not people is a good way to humanize in the end.

Y'know, Something always has bothered me about the ending to Quantum Leap



Quatum Leap..... It's uh..... Well, it's unique. It's quirky blend of sci-fi, fantasy, and drama puts it into a niche category amongst it's T.V. sit-com counterparts but it's place in television history is unmistakable and it's ending is often considered disappointing. I'm from the camp that it low-key is kind of brilliant and maybe I'm grasping at straws but I feel like the writer's layered the S H I --nevermind, out of it. A while ago I finally put into words my feelings on the matter. Continue reading to hear thoughts and opinions on a completely irrelevant and random TV show ending from 30 years ago

"Well Gee that's kinda neat": A dad's guide to randomly cool projects

 I would like to start off by saying, this is INCREDIBLY random. I mean TECHNICALLY speaking a majority of the nonsense I post falls into that category here but this is... I guess especially the case here? IDK, I just work here (sometimes).

....ok, well maybe not. In fact technically this perfectly aligns with the style and gumption that I have always done (which is post stuff I think is interesting OR memes OR my fun adventures), but it has come to my attention that I have unmistakably and undeniably gravitated away from that (I mean c'mon, when was the last time I did a MEME round-up? (...I'm too busy $-!t posting them on my FB these days). But here are a few articles realllllll quick I'd like to share that involve DIY ethics. It's only three, nothing ot break the bank OR string you along though......continue reading to enjoy some sweet sweet guilty pleasures
