That's she's fallen in with the "heavy metal crowd."

That's the whole premise of the joke

We actually don't have to participate in these pointless pop culture memes.

Like we can just not post them, since it's not like anyone has any sincere opinions or reactions to this topic.

Nobody cares about the word moist

Nobody cares what you put on your pizza

Nobody is amused by Mariah memes

I will never understand why we go through the motions with these things

He says "like that," which is supposed to suggest attire for the sake of the joke mislead, but he is never actually referring to her clothing.

The first commercial convention oven was released in the 1940s. The first prototype of the general concept happened in the 1910s.

Even if you mean the modern household tabletop convenience version, the Nuwave convection oven was already an informercial staple by 2003.

Yes I suspect that the original intent here was less about supernatural brownies points and much more about harmful lifestyle traps. The seven deadly sins seem to me to be mental compulsions that can lead to fixated and broken lifestyles without awareness or pushback. Like feeling sexual attraction is great, but not if your day to day life is focused solely on it. Relaxation and rest is great, but can lead to stagnation if not unchecked.

I'm not saying the Bible or Torah or other such texts weren't legitimately religious scripture to the devout, but they were also basically the popular self help books of the time as well, as I understand things

That's fine, you can enjoy the silliness of an error or fun addition to the joke. But that's still not "the joke" being made, which is my point.

That makes no sense. You could literally remove the dates entirely and that point would still be made just by Mario -> Last of Us. Having the incorrect date for Mario doesn't reinforce that point in any way.

That's literally not the joke though. The joke doesn't change at all if we correct the date to 1985, so clearly the error not only isn't the joke, it's not even a part of the joke. How is this so upvoted? People just slackjawed reacting like "omfg I remember the Simpsons!"

Air is not so different from water in the grand scheme of things, we're just designed for and acclimated to air rather than water. So yeah, I think sinking is at best a subgenre of falling.
