Fun Fact: These are the longest films ever made
The longest movie ever made was a 2012 Swedish movie called "logistics" which follows the production of a pedometer in real time but also in reverse, the movie is 51,420 minutes (857 hours or 35 days and 17 hours).
The longest proper cinematic film is black and white 2019 Bangladeshi film called Amra Ekta Cinema Banabo (We Will Make A Film in english, the movie was also called "Innocence" in promotional material.) and has a run time of 1265 min (21 hours and 5 minutes). The plot is a little convoluted, but its basically a drama that takes place in the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Here is a brief plot synopsis for anyone who is curious: https://filmfreeway.com/AmraEktaCinemaBanaboTheInnocence-21hrs
Fun Fact: The longest piece of literature ever written is a Loud House fanfiction called "Loud House Revamped".
The fanfiction is currently above 16,777,215 words (we don't know the word count because fanfic.net uses 24-bit integers to count the amount of words and this fic surpassed the computational limit), and is 2000+ chapters. It is written by Jamesdean5842 and is still being written to this day.
The story is about an OC named JD Knudson who moves into the Louds town and goes on adventures with them after creating a superhero team with them. According to the recap (Obviously not even close to finished recap) on Tvtropes.org, the fic is mainly comprised of loud house episode plots rewritten to include the OC and a multitude of crossovers with other franchises from any piece of media you could possibly think of. (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheLoudHouseRevamped)
Some examples of the crossovers are Ed, Edd n Eddy, Naruto, Dante's Inferno, Inside Out, Matilda, Pulp Fiction, CatDog, Metroid, The Simpsons. This is a very small selection of the crossovers done in the fic.
Despite the fic's main characters being minors, the story contains lots of swearing, sex, romance, drugs, and violence. The sheer amount of strange details about this fic is insane, reading the TVtropes page will give you some insane mental whiplash. (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/TheLoudHouseRevamped)
This is just the tip of the iceberg for this story, it is absolutely insane.
If yall could not tell by my last post, I am obsessed with Daft Punk, here’s some fun and obscure facts about the duo.
To be clear, Thomas is the silver robot, and Guy-man is the golden robot
Before Daft Punk, Thomas and Guy-man were part of a group called Darlin’ (Darlin' (French band) - Wikipedia) with Laurent Brancowitz, who would go on to be a member of the band Phoenix. The group only made 4 tracks (Darlin' (Full Discography) - YouTube).
Daft Punk got their name when British music magazine Melody Maker called the music by Darlin’ “daft punky thrash”.
Because of their history, Daft Punk performed live alongside Phoenix at Madison Square Garden (Phoenix and Daft Punk - 1901 - Madison Square Garden - YouTube)
Originally, the robot helmets were meant to have hair (This is not a joke, I’m serious (Today I learned how the Daft Punk robot helmets were created - The Verge)
Daft Punk’s animated movie Interstella 5555 was inspired by movies that Thomas and Guy-man had seen as children, particularly Captain Harlock. They got to work with Captain Harlock's creator Leiji Matsumoto. The film aired on Toonami on August 31st of 2001
Daft Punk has a live action film called “Electromeda” which has a soundtrack of songs that are not by them. Footage from this movie was used for their breakup announcement. (Daft Punk's Electroma - Wikipedia)
Daft Punk appear in a Star Wars themed Adidas commercial for the 2010 FIFA world cup alongside David Beckham, Snoop Dogg, and other celebrities (Daft Punk — Star Wars: Adidas Originals - Cantina (4K) - YouTube)
Eric Prydz stole the song “call on me” from Thomas Bangalter and DJ falcon (How Eric Prydz stole "Call on Me" (but someone else stole it first) - YouTube)
Thomas Bangalter is a member of the band Modjo, the band that created “Lady (Hear me Tonight)”
The band “Justice” was invited to be the supporting act for Alive 2007, but turned Daft Punk down because the manager for Justice was a former manager for Daft Punk and he decided that Justice “had to make it on their own”. (While doing research I lost the source)
Thomas Bangalter’s original home and studio, known as the “Daft House” was turned into a luxury hotel (Daft Punk Facts and Myths - YouTube)
Daft Punk used many samples in making their music, here's a breakdown of the ones in Discovery (Sample Breakdown: Daft Punk - Discovery - YouTube)
In March of 2011, Daft Punk collaborated with Coca Cola to create “Daft Coke”. The flavor was just normal coke, but custom gold and silver bottles were given out in clubs in Europe (Daft Coke | Daft Wiki | Fandom)
Daft Punks first concert, “Even Further” was lost media, but some footage has been found (Daft Punk 1996 Even Furthur New Footage - YouTube). The concert was performed on May 26th of 1996 at the Eagle Cave resort.
There is a 30 second ad for the 2002 winter olympics that uses “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”. The ad was lost media until it was found only 7 months ago. (Daft Punk (found Winter Olympics TV commercial featuring French house band; 2002) - The Lost Media Wiki)

I am trying to be as respectful as possible here, but saying that authoritarianism doesn't exist is an absolutely insane take. Obviously the CIA did a lot to try and stop communism, we all know that. And why wouldn't a state want to suppress dissent, do you think that all "communist" regimes were these perfect, do nothing wrong utopias? Of course a state wants to suppress dissent, it gives them more control over their people, Governments are greedy, even if they claim to be communist. I don't think the extent of mass surveillance, forced propaganda, censorship, and imprisonment could be justified by "stopping a foreign entity. Here are some examples of the things authoritarian "communist" regimes did to supposedly "fight foreign powers".
Soviet Union (USSR): Under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union carried out numerous purges and suppressions of dissent. The Great Purge in the late 1930s resulted in the execution or imprisonment of millions of people, including political opponents, intellectuals, military officers, and ordinary citizens accused of disloyalty or counter-revolutionary activities. The state employed the secret police, censorship, forced labor camps (Gulags), and surveillance to maintain control and suppress dissent.
People's Republic of China: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a long history of suppressing dissent. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), Mao Zedong mobilized student groups known as the Red Guards to target intellectuals, artists, and political opponents. Many individuals were persecuted, imprisoned, or killed. In more recent times, the Chinese government has tightened control over the media, the internet, and social media platforms, censoring content, monitoring online activities, and imprisoning activists and dissidents who challenge the party's authority.
Cuba: The Cuban government under Fidel Castro and his successors has been known for suppressing dissent. The regime has restricted freedom of speech, assembly, and the press, controlling the media and limiting access to information. Independent journalists, activists, and political opponents have been subject to harassment, imprisonment, and surveillance. The government also tightly controls access to the internet and social media platforms.
North Korea: The totalitarian regime in North Korea, led by the Kim family, has implemented strict controls on information and dissent. The state maintains a pervasive surveillance system and enforces ideological conformity through propaganda, censorship, and forced indoctrination. Any form of dissent or criticism of the regime is severely punished, with individuals and even entire families sent to political prison camps.
East Germany: During the existence of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the ruling Socialist Unity Party suppressed dissent through surveillance, censorship, and repression. The Ministry for State Security, commonly known as the Stasi, maintained a vast network of informants and spies to monitor citizens' activities and control dissent. The government restricted travel, controlled the media, and imprisoned those who challenged the state's authority.
Most suppression of dissent was done to citizens of the state. If you think that any of this can be justified by "fighting foreign powers", you are absolutely delusional.

Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin: Stalin's rule was characterized by forced collectivization, which resulted in widespread famine and the death of millions of people, particularly during the Ukrainian Holodomor. Stalin's purges led to the imprisonment, execution, or exile of millions, including members of the Communist Party, military officials, intellectuals, and perceived political opponents.
The Great Leap Forward in China: Under Mao Zedong's leadership, the Great Leap Forward aimed to rapidly transform China's economy and society. However, the policies implemented, such as forced collectivization and the backyard steel furnaces, resulted in a disastrous famine, leading to the deaths of an estimated 20 to 45 million people between 1958 and 1962.
Cultural Revolution in China: The Cultural Revolution, initiated by Mao Zedong, aimed to reassert his authority and eliminate perceived enemies within the Communist Party and society. The movement led to widespread political persecution, purges, and violence, resulting in millions of deaths, as well as the destruction of cultural heritage, academic institutions, and economic disruption.
Khmer Rouge in Cambodia: The Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979. During their regime, they implemented radical agrarian communism, forcing urban dwellers into rural work camps and carrying out mass executions, torture, and forced labor. It is estimated that between 1.7 to 2.2 million people died as a result of execution, starvation, and disease.
North Korea under Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il: The oppressive regime in North Korea has been associated with widespread human rights abuses, political repression, forced labor camps, and the suppression of dissent. The regime's policies have resulted in severe food shortages and famine, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
I only like raddle more because it's not filled to the brim with tankies. This place can feel like its full of them
Allegedly left-wing bootlickers. Historically, they are more comparable to fascists than anything leftist.
Authoritarians are klansmen
Mutual aide is not really the issue with tankies, the problem is the authoritarianism. Mutual aide can be very effective when done properly. For example, anarchists tend to answer the question of "leeches" by giving them the resources to self-actualize, and if the "leech" does not care to do that, they can be kicked out of an anarchist community.
For idolizing the soviet union and the people's republic of china, who have done some very evil things. Tankies always try to undermine the sins of authoritarian regimes. They keep trying to instate authoritarian regimes knowing full well that they have killed so many historically.
If you want truly based leftism, try anarchism.
Well I'll be damned, they actually did it. Don't despair lads, every end is the chance for a new beginning. Even if we don' return to reddit, I think we can make a fine community on here or raddle. Let's just see which site gets the most traffic
