Alpha…Wanna Bet?
So everyone’s saying how this new generation is screwed and are citing stuff like skibidi toilet and other weird-ass internet stuff that has made its way into the generational slang.
But I think y’all are forgetting the incredibly weird internet stuff that Millennials were exposed to and referenced and absorbed into offline culture.
Like…we all remember early Newgrounds and Albino Blacksheep, right?
Animutation was its own weird world.
Just sayin’.
Post!
So after the kilogram news a couple days ago I’ve been reading a lot about the SI units. I totally should make a superhero team (The SI Squad?) with members named after the SI units. Like Captain Kelvin, Senor Second, Lady Candela, The Mole, etc. They battle the group of villains known as the Imperial Units. The evil Dr. Foot, the Ferocious Fathom, the Malicious Mile, etc.
So totally drawing these guys. Or at least making them in HeroMachine.
Oh, and here’s a random survey.
