Noticed at the last moment, but figured I can't remove it without editing the picture. There was some sort of commemoration of the Holocaust, which means edgy jokes even if our politicians weren't stupid enough so that politicians of other countries got to save our public face.

^ Polish ersatz Lego. There was some sort of lawsuit after Poland joined EU, but apparently enough there was some sort of settlement. Found a niche in historical and military-themed sets, topics that Lego avoids.

They also did a set featuring that metal band whose discography focuses on military history.



It is also a video game tie-in.

This feels like an odd level of dedication.

It's a genuine stars align moment, I'd say.

Now I wonder about this. Mega Bloks Construx did "Adventure Force" (ie if G.I.Joe was slightly bendy looking people) sets for years and years before quitting that to become the home base for Halo, Call of Duty (which I guess is historically accurate adjacent sometimes?) and Game of Thrones. Halo is sort of about war too, but Space Wars.

oh it was a local thing.

^^ is it just me or did anyone else mistake this for a real-live screenshot before noticing the characters' faces?

Naas_Human

I didn't.

Stormtroper

Me neither.

"Restores"

Feels weird posting this here but it's of note since it's a former main Rider (Kamen Rider Build) and a former Sentai Red (Zyuden Sentai Kyouryuuger) starring in a movie about well, binge drinking seaside college students.

Their bodies look like artist's renditions rather than actual humans.

Though obviously in the actual movie they're buck naked.

Apologies for small size.

^ It's a bike with no sprokes, or how do you call these linking-axes-with-rims thingies. And for that matter, with no axes too. Add to that the meme with a cyclist sticking a piece of, uh, stick in his own wheel and blaming someone else falling over. End result, a post-meme about the cyclist meme not working because of an axless bike.

Oh, okay, I see.

(To answer your questions, they are "spokes" (singular "spoke"), and an "axle", which would make that an "axleless" bike, though the unrealistic nature of the object makes me doubt that this is even a real word.)

(That said.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centreless_wheel )

oh here's an excellent reaction image

This sounds a bit more romanticized than "what do you want to do?".

fourteenwings

This sounded way more lechy than it is. Technically.

maybe worshipping idols was a bad idea after all
