A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What one thing are you surprised isn't getting talked of anymore when at one point, it was everywhere? (piefed.social)

Looney Tunes, for me. When I was growing up through the 90s and 2000s, Looney Tunes was about as large as life itself. Bugs, Daffy, Taz, Sylvester, Marvin the Martian .etc were staples anywhere in culture. However, it felt like some pendulum swung another direction because there's solemn mention of Looney Tunes in the past 10 years.

And I'm trying to not say that Looney Tunes has faded away, it still has made shows as recent as 2020 that lasted until 2024 and a movie that was this year. But I'm saying that it's cultural relevance has taken a backseat and it doesn't help that its parent company, WB, has been treated as nothing more than just an asset to be acquired while those who acquired it, aren't doing a lot with the name to bring it back to its former level.

It's kinda like how Tom and Jerry were huge (still are to an extent) but its cultural significance as of late, has largely taken the same backseat where you don't hear as much from them as you used to.

Blockchain. Although I’m not surprised it’s not talked about anymore, people have moved on to the next grift.
