Okay so, basically, the game EarthBound, yeah? The music in that game was written by a dude who was heavily influenced by the Beatles and other 60s/70s music. To the point where there is even sames from Beatles music used in EarthBound.

Ok so EarthBound, including its music in turn heavily inspired a bunch of Millennials including a fellow named Toby Fox whose work is heavily based on EarthBound to the point where Undertale and Deltarune use the soundfont and sound effects for a lot of things.

Which in turn inspired a ton of zoomers, and yeah you get the idea.

It's just a cool reminder of how we are all connected in the most cringe, nerd way I can think of. Everything we do touches other's lives, whether we realise it or not.

      Plot twist: Dirt_Owl is Richard Dawkins posing as an owl.

      Rather upsetting to find this out sadness

        They're referring more to the original Dawkins definition of meme as a social analogy of the gene, something along the lines of "minimal reproducible unit of social exchange"

          I was doing a ”Chapo? Like the drug dealer?” style bit.

          Although if there's one guy whose accomplishment being overshadowed by cats saying they can has cheezburger I don't mind, it's Dick Dorkins.

            Sorry, irony through text is hard to read sometimes. But yeah, Dawkins falling off is probably my biggest disappointment in terms of someone falling off

              I always wonder if a bit might be a little too obtuse.

              Especially after some people might have actually gotten my reference to Machines of Loving Grace reference yesterday.
