I mean, when I was a kid my dad wanted me to go outside and forced the issue at times but there was genuinely nothing the fuck out there. I feel that in order for this to work there has to be something out there besides just suburban American hellscape.
I think of this meme often. My wife and I recently bought a house in a quiet cul-de-sac of a safe older neighborhood. My daughter went from spending most of her time indoors (because there was fuck all for her to do or go, and surrounding streets were busy) to spending probably 75% of her time outside, whether playing with friends or flipping rocks in my garden to look for bugs. It’s wild how much a child’s interests change when their environment actually provides them the green spaces they need.
I hate that in most places (at least here in North America) parks, trails, and other green spaces are just an afterthought, when we should be planning our neighborhoods around them. But hey, you can’t squeeze another cheap manufactured home in between these two other densely packed manufactured homes if there are empty spots for trees and nature.
I am pleased with the city I live in for leaving so much of our forest and river valleys intact. We have an elaborate trail system weaving throughout the entirety of our city, all interconnected, and any time additional roads to ease congestion are proposed, people vote them down in favor of protecting the bands of forest and dealing with traffic. Only the worst people I’ve known are voting yes to bulldozing chunks of it for the sake of an easier commute.
Ah yes, the stroad. One of America’s greatest contributions to the world…
I can hear this picture it’s deafening without actually sounding like anything.
What’s the opposite of white noise? Because it’s that. That’s what I hear.
Plaid noise…
They’ve gone to plaid!
Thankfully not all of the usa is like that. My city especially, we have walkable area and a decent(not strong) amount of green
Thankfully not everyone lives in USoA.
Oooo we need more Silo memes!
Edit: Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
Rashida? In a heartbeat!
Yes, go outside, but don’t do anything that might hurt you, just sit there until the sunscreen sweats off.
What series is that from?
Silo.
it’s good.
It’s good, but there was one glaring plothole that, once I noticed, ruined my love for the show
Tap for spoiler
During the blackout, when people are huddling there’s a flicker of the above tree from outside, but it’s alive. There is no reason, other than to build suspense for audience members, for there to be any showing of an alive tree during the livestream. The video feed isn’t hacked, the tree most certainly isn’t alive, and nobody ever brings up how the entirety of the silo saw for a split second an alive tree. I hate it when a show or movie does something that makes no sense in-universe just to fool audience members
That being said, I haven’t watched season 2, so maybe it’s explained there
yeah, thats still an open question, if i dont forget anything about s2.
Tap for spoiler
i’d guess it will be some technobable about the video signal thats send to the cleaners helm and the cafeteria window are processed by the same programs, if they ever want to get back to it or it will be explained as some kind of fail-safe to get potential rebels out of the silo or something like that.
Tap for spoiler
I mean, it still doesn’t explain why nobody, not a single person (especially the people who already suspected it), brought up why the tree was alive for a second
But it was a good show, so I’ll probably watch season 2 at some point
That’s a tough one. I’m thrilled to see how future me will get this sorted out.
Shawshank Redemption 2
There is no power socket outside.
