Okay so, basically, the game EarthBound, yeah? The music in that game was written by a dude who was heavily influenced by the Beatles and other 60s/70s music. To the point where there is even sames from Beatles music used in EarthBound.
Ok so EarthBound, including its music in turn heavily inspired a bunch of Millennials including a fellow named Toby Fox whose work is heavily based on EarthBound to the point where Undertale and Deltarune use the soundfont and sound effects for a lot of things.
Which in turn inspired a ton of zoomers, and yeah you get the idea.
It's just a cool reminder of how we are all connected in the most cringe, nerd way I can think of. Everything we do touches other's lives, whether we realise it or not.
You can see this through the changing ebb and flow of beanis posts… It’s almost as if everyone’s beanis is touching everyone else’s
Beans all the way down

Is this a bit or did you just discover meme theory.
Nah I'm just high on life
Plot twist: Dirt_Owl is Richard Dawkins posing as an owl.
Rather upsetting to find this out

Now I’m trying to imagine what megalovania would sound like if the beatles covered it
Helter skelter but more memey?
This is why everyone should shit in the woods more often. Your poop will feed bugs and plants and they will grow and feed other things. If you only poop in the toilet your poop will just die and you will be forgotten. If you poop in the woods you will live forever through your poop and the ecosystem your poop feeds. (and if you eat lots of tomatoes you might even grow a tomato plant in the woods.)
We stand on the poop of giants
and if you eat lots of tomatoes you might even grow a tomato plant in the woods.
And corn!

Just kidding, Dirt_Owl, I wuv u
Haha nerd lover!
I like to think our humanity will be ready to take the next step if we can ever acknowledge and harness the hive-mind, unity of mind, the crowdsource, whatever it is. Our best and clearest intellect is the social one. One mind, experience makes up for the lack in another's.
Imo our ability to communicate, network, share experiences thru osmosis whathaveyou is the primary reason we're successful as a species, not the power of our individual brains.
Video game companies keep inventing paid mod systems to disrupt these hive mind structures with grift culture so mod communities don't get too powerful 😒

And ironically I believe that by collectively empowering each other to be able to live to the best of their ability, we also have more individualality than our current "every man is an island" BS.
Every life lived is a ripple in the pond that touches everything else in the pond.
That gave me warm happy feelings decades ago and it still does now.
Toby Fox has a very edgy Earthbound romhack that sort of seems like a proto-Undertale.
Does that mean there was no point in being born? Would you say that of your slain comrades? What about their lives? Where they meaningless? THEY WERE NOT! Their memory serve as an example to us all. The courageous fallen, the anguished fallen - their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them! So as we ride to certain death we trust our successors to do the same for us! Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world. My soldiers march forward. My soldiers scream out. My soldiers RAAGE!
