Impressively accurate meme. 4650630 is indeed a 2x2 lime slope peace.

What, are we supposed to believe there is a parallel universe where Lego produced lime green slopes in the 1980s? Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

I love that he has a bell to ring, presumably when he gives up on a movie so he can announce to the room when he's going to get up and walk away from it. His girlfriend/wife already knows what's going to happen. It's been 10 years, and he still hasn't picked up what she's putting down when she asks if he wants to watch Netflix and chill.

I thought of Hector from Breaking Bad when I saw that.

How can someone pay attention to this level of detail?

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Some things you just know.

I’m an aviation nut. I can spot right away when a movie has an incorrect aircraft type or livery. And don’t even get me started on cockpit layouts. If you have a particular interest, usually you can spot some glaring issues that others wouldn’t even notice.

As a fellow aviation nerd, what do you think about Top Gun? Or the sequel?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I haven't seen the sequel, but the original was filmed in actual F14 aircraft, so I'd be amazed if the cockpit layout was wrong.

TBH my take on it is that they pretend fighters are still doing the same thing as in WWII or maybe Korea, just with missiles. No BVR or anything. There is this Indian short that was more tense for me than the whole of Top Gun and it feels so much closer to the real thing.

That said, I don't like Tom Cruise because of his slavery side gig and IDK jack about Indian-Pakistani relations, so take it with that in mind.

when you interact with something on such a deep level, for me i'm a linux enthusiast and computer hardware nerd. I know quite a bit about computers, networking, operating systems and malware. These things are just second nature.

Basically all implementations of these things in movies, shows or generally any media at all, is pretty inaccurate, unless it's not the direct focal point, in which case it's "accurate enough" because it literally doesn't matter and could be some obscure implementation of something.

It's like if you hired someone, who doesn't know anything about that particular job position, to do that particular job (because that's literally what happens more of the time) they just pay someone to "make it happen" and it does, and it's often not very accurate.

When it does happen accurately, thank god they hired some weird grey beard with archaic knowledge on unix and historically relevant hardware setups, because holy shit does it add SO much to the media.

They can't not

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago

I would have probably noticed too – I had legos in the 90s and had never seen a lime piece until much later.

I don't consider myself a lego enthusiast, just an old dude who played with them when I was a kid.

This channel has a lime piece as the logo if you squint your eyes.

I'm this way with knitting VS crochet, as well as watching if someone is actually knitting or "knitting."
