Lemmy is a smaller site than Reddit, even before taking into account federation. So I cast a wide net here. A lot of specific popular shows like Futurama have dedicated communities, but I thought it'd be fun to have a generalized one

At an early age, I remember waking up at the crack of dawn, rushing downstairs, and turning on the tv at a soft volume to watch old reruns of Tom and Jerry on Boomerang. I've probably seen every episode of the classic series doing that.

When I got older, I started sharing this time instead with my brothers at night- one older and the other younger. We moved alot, in one home we'd sit in the older one's room and watch the Simpsons, and in the next we'd sit in the basement with the lights off watching new episodes of Regular Show and added another younger brother to the mix...until my mom got upset and banned us from watching that even though my older brother and I were teenagers by that point.

But what about you guys? What memories like this do you have?

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.

You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don't see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I'm often shamed and muted. I just don't understand why that parity exists, it's extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

I know a little bit of lore, but not a whole lot (I just listen to lore channels at work lol). But the question occurred to me upon thinking about midichlorians. I recall hearing somewhere they connect to blood cells, but I know I'm losing my mind so maybe I just made that up somewhere
