I went to Reddit today...

I just joined beehaw myself (was fumbling around on mastodon for a while but to me it feels too much like a twitter clone). So far I'm really enjoying the genuine interactions on here. Very much has an old reddit vibe that hopefully will survive even with the upcoming mass migration!

Movies similar to Superbad

Napoleon Dynamite is like if Superbad was nothing but that scene of Michael Cera singing "These Eyes" by The Guess Who. Just 100% cringe, awkward interactions between the main characters. Like an inside joke that literally nobody is meant to get, even the people "in" on the joke.

Honorable mentions: Nacho Libre (similar in its randomness), Wayne's World (a classic) and Road Trip (similar to Superbad in its frat humor).

What are you thoughts about adding a local Supernatural/Fringe science community on Beehaw?

I personally would love that.

Tbh I never really liked the paranormal communities on reddit either (they literally became an endless influx of "aRe ThEsE oRbS??" posts with nighttime ring footage of bugs flying by).

I would love to see something more like the /x/ board of a certain internet hate machine site, or at least the 2010s version of it before it became an endless stream of "sUmMoNiNg TuLpAs???!" posts.

Does anyone here like "studying" art?

I'm not super big on learning art fundamentals (I'm more of a "play by ear" creator) -- but I loved taking art history in school. It combines the most fascinating parts of both worlds, and in fact you do learn a lot about art terminology, but without the practice. Essentially you learn how to identify and appreciate different types of art throughout history, as well as the social/economic/political events that helped influence the styles.
