Kinda feels like at this point it’s not “if”. It’s “when”.

“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”

Ok, I’m going to approach this literally how you asked it. That is to say “shown the most”, not “watched the most”. So if it gets shown, to an audience of 0, it still counts.

I’m also only going to count places showing this commercially. So, not counting retirement homes playing a dvd all day on repeat.

So, with that in mind, I’m not going to say “the simpsons season 4, episode 6”. I would instead just say the simpsons. Movies are counted individually. So the simpsons may have like 800 episodes. But it’s all counted together. Whereas the 45 fast and furious movies are counted not as a series, but individually.

Ok, with that out of the way…

You’d think I love lucy would be a great contender. However theres a few issues with this. Firstly, Lucy had many similarly named shows. I Love Lucy is the main one, but there was also The Lucy Show, The Lucy and Desi Variety Hour. Probably a few others that escape my mind. And each series would be seperate. The OTHER issue, is that Lucy was popular in the 1950s. Meaning the baby boomers were a combination of anywhere between 15 years old, and not born yet. Meaning the population boom that drove television wasn’t yet old enough to drive the industry just yet.

So my thought would be you need a show that the boomers would watch, and could later be put on repeat on channels endlessly. With a large enough list of episodes that they could put on all day every day.

The first thing that pops off in my mind is Cheers. However, Cheers was never appriciated by anyone besides the boomers. You never saw all day marathons of Cheers.

Then I realized Mash was huge with the Boomers, but also big with Gen X. Officially taking place in the Korean War, but really being just a vehicle to drive social commentary for The Vietnam War. But again, they never got all day marathons.

Then I thought Friends fit the bill. Boomers watch friends, Gen X watches Friends, Millenials watch Friends. Even Gen Z watches friends, and they weren’t even born when the show ended. But they still watch it, and love it. TBS still commonly has 8 hour blocks of Friends.

And I thought that was going to be my answer. Until I realized one thing.

The Flintstones has been going since the 1940s I think. In the 90s, Cartoon Network first started up, they used to show all the old 1940s-1960s cartoons. Adult Swim wasn’t a thing yet. The kids who would be asleep, so maybe show the cartoons the adults maybe might like. It didn’t catch on, because boomers would be the target audience, and they’ve never cared about nostolgia.

Then it hit me. Seaseme Street. Here’s a show that gets shown every weekday, several times a day, and has been since the 1960s. It has no target generation besides “kids aged 2-6”. So unlike the Flintstones, it never had periods of being off the air.

So I’d say either The Simpsons, or Seaseme Street. Both shows have massive backlogs of episodes. Both shows get marathon blocks on various channels. Both shows have no target generational audience.

So it’s gotta be one of those. Runner up might be “The Office”. If that show were older, and longer running, it might be in contention with how comedy central, tbs, tnt, and fx all host marathon blocks of it.

What is converser.eu, and can I use it to deliver french fries to my mouth?

Oh yeah? What’s your favorite curse word, and what’s your favorite display of violent imagery.

Me personally I’m partial to the french killing the wealthy with a guillitine.

You posted this 2 hours ago. However I read this same post yesterday.

…you a bot?

I would watch a sitcom about Luigi, and the series starts off with him being found not guilty. So they lock him in with a guy doing life. Their idea is to release him in 40 days. They think the life sentence guy will kill him. They assumed thats what would happen.

Instead he and his cell mate become lifelong friends, and the style of the show changes from gritty and dramatic, to being shot like an 80s NBC sitcom, with a studio audience.

Except it takes place in a comedy version of a jail. And it starts and ends every episode the same way. They wake up in their cell, and they go to sleep in their cell.

Cue the freezeframe, roll credits, as a studio audience gives forced applause that kind of drags, and you can tell some guy is waving his arms like “CLAP LOUDER!!!” and they’re all just thinking “how long do we have to clap???”

Oh. Didn’t realize the contracts were just 6 months long. I thought they were more like 10 years or something.

Depends on how long the contract is, and who the administration is when that happens.

That may all be true and all, but other services aren’t one guy.

It would be like signing up for a fediverse instance, which uses closed source software, and it’s just one guy running the service for a small amount of people.

I don’t know who runs Lemmy.world, but at no point do I think the admins are targeting me, to read through my inbox. My judgement says that’s not what the admins are doing with their time.

But this myspace clone had 300ish registered members on a single centralized closed source platform being run and created by one guy with zero oversight. I can’t say that he created the service specifically to spy on people, but it certainly doesn’t pass the sniff test.

ain’t Facebook just Myspace but “better”?

Get.

Out!

Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.

No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”

Or

“Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”

And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.

Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.

Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.

Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.

But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.

I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.

Well hot damn! Thank you! I fiddled with this for 30 minutes the other night. I even deleted all data. I even uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled.

I would have never guessed that you need to beat it in normal mode first to then do challenges mode. I would have stumbled upon it, after casually playing. And then maybe a week later trying to figure out how to unlock challenges, only to discover them already unlocked. Then I’d be REALLY confused.

But at least now I get what I need to do. I get whats going on, and it works!

Oh, one slight correction though. You don’t need to beat the stage. Just play it. After reading your reply I decided to try beating 1-1 and 1-2. Then I died on 1-3. I was expecting to see 1-1 and 1-2 unlocked with 1-3 still locked. But 1-3 is unlocked too.

So, thank you for the info so I can stop being frustrated. I at least know now I need to play every level at least once, so I can play challenges mode! And I assume that’s also why most of the boo levels were locked.

Intellectual nepobabies? I don’t know what that means! These words challenge me, and I want no part of that! Nooooope! I will not think about such things! I mean really! What even is “nepobabies”? Did you mean “muppet babies”? Because they stopped making that show a while ago…

I thought that was facebook?

looks around at a world run by pedophiles, fascists, and abusers

…yeah, but is that really the worst idea?

There is a myspace clone I saw about 2 years ago. I was new to the fediverse. I THOUGHT the myspace clone was part of the fediverse. It wasn’t.

I was going to join, but turns out this service was not open source. It’s not part of the fediverse. It’s essentially just some guy running the service, and can freely read anyones messages.

So I didn’t join. But if there were an open source federated version of myspace? Yes. I would join.

Hey, I got a question for you. If you go to challenges, you should see 1-1. Next to it, is 1-2. I beat 1-1. I got the 5 red coins. I got the yoshi egg. And I got the score.

So all 3 objectives are done.

Why can’t I unlock 1-2?
