    I agree with your statement that some of those are definitely rant.

  • [Meta] Could we consider avoiding US election questions in this community?
  • To be fair, I thought there were more, probably because some similar questions are posted to [email protected] as well.

    what constitutes “political” topics

    I was mostly targeting "US elections", I'll rephrase my post to make it more clear.

  • Could we consider avoiding US election questions in this community?

    Hello everyone,

    This community regularly gets questions about the US elections.

    This is an important topic, but if there is something that does not lack on Lemmy, it's communities to discuss about politics:

    And many others: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=politics

    I am personally subscribed to this community to learn general things (the question about the viking funeral legal aspect is a good example), and US elections questions seems to always bring more political debate than knowledge sharing.

    What do you all think?

    See you in the comments.

    Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack for deceiving trailer

    If you grew up in the early 2000s, you probably saw a trailer for Kangaroo Jack. The trailer gives the impression that the movie is a screwball road trip comedy about two friends and their wacky, talking Kangaroo sidekick. Except it’s not that. It’s an extremely unfunny movie about two idiots escaping the mob. There’s a random kangaroo in it for like 5 minutes and he only talks during a hallucination scene that lasts less than a minute. Turns out, the producers knew that they had a stinker on their hands so they cut the movie to be PG and focus the marketing on the one positive aspect that test audiences responded to, the talking kangaroo, tricking a bunch of families into buying tickets.

    What other movies had similar, deceitfully malicious marketing campaigns?

    Things you thought a TV show made up but you later found out were actually real

    TV shows constantly make stuff up that doesn't reflect reality, so when we see something in a show that doesn't seem real, we naturally assume that it was made up. But sometimes it turns out that the show was actually referencing something or some event from the real world that was real, just not that commonly known, or at least not known to you.

    For example, many people first found out about the Tulsa race massacre from the Watchmen TV series, and at first assumed it was an invention of the show. It was a huge indictment on the American education system that such a horrific event was so obscure until then.

    So what other things that seemed like they were made up did you later find out were actually real?
