When I was a kid in the 90s, I kept thinking about the Power Rangers and how they were kind of gay, and I felt kinda gay, but they were kind of lame, and I didn’t wanna be lame.

So I got really into Star Trek in computers instead. I’m 47, and I’m confident that I made the correct decision. Star Trek definitely made me feel pretty OK about being gay, that’s for sure.

I have seen people do this unironically when they fart.

Well, technically, according to my records...

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 2 points 4 days ago

That reminds me of a really awesome show I need to revisit.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I'm 42, and I felt like I was too old for power rangers after Season 1.

You would have been close to 18 by the time the show debuted. I think I was 12 when it debuted, and outgrew it almost immediately.

Maybe that's why they felt lame to you. It was a kids show, and you were old enough to be in the Gulf war at the time it was happening.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 5 days ago

The production was so low. You could tell when the footage was reused from Saban's earlier shows. Also, it kinda felt dated already when it came out.

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It was a long time ago. Difficult to remember. Plus, I was on a lot of drugs by then…

Edit: hold on, the show came out in 1993, when I was 14. So that’s not at all as creepy as you implied. maybe you caught it on reruns? Or you’re not in the United States, and it debuted years later in your country?

Ah, yes… 1993, the year I discovered the joys of smoking…

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It debuted in 1993. If they are 47 they were born in 1979 and were 14 at its debut. Your math is close but a titch off

And it summoned an ancient robot dragon that happened to be living ten meters off Angel Grove Harbor.

[–] Kyrrrr@mander.xyz 12 points 5 days ago

Do you think the zords just broke the sound barrier inches above Angel Grove as they appeared in 1.7 seconds? Or do giant monsters patiently wait for them to arrive?

That's the one thing I hate about Lemmy. It does seem to be easy to create more accounts.

This is the part of Power Rangers that breaks verisimilitude?

Not the smoke ghost living in a glass tube or the creatures made out of actual putty or the seemingly endless supply of cities to destroy while also apparently saving them?

Hey what you got against zordon the zecko

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I only now just realized the problem with trying to play a flute wearing a helmet. I will never unrealize this.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah look. They got a nose hole in that helmet the right size for flute tooting! You can toot your flute in that helmet!

Maybe it was actually his helmet making the sound but the dagger daggerflute was the electronic "key" to access music mode. He blows into his microphone and instead of it relaying the sound of his breaths it encodes it into flute playing. Technology is wonderful.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 4 days ago

Maybe he was whistling? And the "music mode" was kind of autotune/synthesizer voice.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago

*talks in flute*

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I hated that show and everyone else loved it. Drove me crazy. I liked xfiles instead lol.

[–] TheKingBee@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I liked it and the xfiles too...

I've recently been watching the super sentai series it's based on and it's been a fun journey.

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I was never into X Files, and it wasn't until recently I realized why.

It's because the show encourages people to be Mulder.

Lemme explain, the show is pure UFOlogy propaganda. You can be Scully and have a skeptical mind who wants hard proof before you'll admit an outlandish idea is worth looking into.... But then you'd be wrong, because the skeptics are just ignorant closeminded saps! Unwilling to look at the evidence that's all around us!

Even though in real life, the believers jump to the conclusion and work backwards from there to "prove it", whereas it's the skeptics who actually consider the evidence and go where it leads... Which has never in the history of anything been supernatural.

90's Television and Movies had this problem in general, the skeptic is always wrong, and the believer is always rewarded for their faith. The skeptic is always portrayed as ignorant and stuck in their own ways, while the believer is shown as open-minded, full of wonder, and just a delight to be around.

It absolutely had a negative impact on me growing up, always believing in magic, believing it only wasn't working because I wasn't doing it right, or because I didn't believe hard enough.... That's gotta be it, because skeptics aren't good people, the stories all say so!

It's only as an adult that I realize skeptics are bitter and angry for a damn good reason, people keep believing in nonsense and making it the problem of those around them. The skeptic would love for magic to be real, but that's never where the evidence points. Because magic isn't real.

If you look at pictures of it, it has a few valve buttons on it, exactly like a trumpet. So, why he plays it sideways like a flute, rather than like a trumpet from the tip, I don't know.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Because in the 90s, sword towards mouth is gay.
