rouge gives shadow a shopping list.

pure-dark dark: he blows up every grocery store except aldi's

pure-dark hero: he becomes the COO of aldi's (second in command to the CEO)

semi-dark dark: he becomes a cashier at aldi's

semi-dark hero: shadow basically says "fuck the shopping list, i buy what what i want. I and only I know what is best."

neutral dark: he buys stuff at aldi's, then kills eggman

neutral hero: he buys stuff at aldi's, then kills eggman, but omega tagged along

semi-hero dark: too many distractions caused him to lose his shopping list, so he doesn't know what to buy. he stays in aldi's for the rest of his life trying to remember what he needed to get.

semi-hero hero: too many distractions caused him to lose his shopping list, so he doesn't know what to buy. he leaves aldi's empty-handed in shame.

pure-hero dark: he beats up sonic in the parking lot

pure-hero hero: after buying what he needed to, he vows to topple the CEO of capitalism

waking up:

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

cart sounds, a distant roll behind you

as you try to clear your head.

you start to look and answers find you

your inner purpose lies ahead.

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

rip it up, tear it down! 💥💥 this is what it means to be free

one step to calm the storm inside you

unlock the trolley with your coin.

not another list, no more confusion.

no more buying tenderloins.

it seems it's just out of reach

the ones who come first always get their way

but i think they should know

i'm coming for their cart!

waking up, breaking out! 💥💥 this is what it's like at Aldi's

Never Turn Back:

it's been a long rough road and im finally here

move an inch forward, feels like a year

everything i feel seems so unreal

is it true? is it true?

i move one aisle left and two aisles right

got some weight in my cart, certainly ain't light

up, down, all around, dont know quite what to do

to get through

but im on my way (on my way, on my way, on my way)

here i am (here i am)

made it to the end of the queue

never had a chance while im around

no! no! no, no, no, no!

and now ill never come back (ill never come back)

ill never go that way

no matter where life tries to send me

i turn the other way!

now and then, my head starts to spin

but they ran out of aspirin! (no! no!)

from this moment on, i am moving on

and ill never come back again!

i guess im doing alright and im on my way

facing every moment day by day

take a chance, slip on by, got no time to answer why

head straight, i head straight.

and what will i become if i dont come back?

give myself a reason for this and that

i can learn, no u-turn, got to stay right here

where im at, where im at!

but im on my way (on my way, on my way, on my way)

here i am (here i am)

made it to the end of the queue

never had a chance while im around

no! no! (no, no, no, no)

and now ill never come back (ill never come back)

ill never go that way

no matter where life tries to send me

i turn the other way!

now and then, my head starts to spin

but they ran out of aspirin! (no! no!)

from this moment on, i am moving on

and ill never come back, no!

ill, ill, ill never come back!

The music instrument samples used by Koji Kondo when he composed the Super Mario World soundtrack were all taken from commercially available sources, and simply reduced in quality to be playable on a SNES.

After many years of searching, video game music enthusiasts were able to track down all original samples in their source quality, allowing the tracks to be restored to the form they could have had if the SNES were able to use high-quality samples. In this post, the restored version of the Castle/Fortress music can be heard.

oh greek does this too

άνδρας (ándras) means both man and husband, and γυναίκα (gynéka) means both woman and wife.

φίλος/η (fílos/i) means both friend and boy/girlfriend.

φιλία (filía, or should i say philía) means friendship, and yet there's the whole -phile suffix

wack tbh

broke: malewife

woke: werewife

did you know? the word "woman" etymologically comes from "wifeman"

Pokemon Crochet Pattern Masterlist

Never thought I'd finish this but I finally tracked down a crochet pattern for EVERY Pokemon*. Gonna say that 85% of them are in English but there's a few I could only find in other languages (should still be understandable for the most part), ~30% of them also have videos, a majority have images but a handful are text only... Give me another day and I'll put together another post with more stats lol

You can find the list in this spreadsheet, with links to at least one pattern for every Pokemon, videos if applicable, names/websites of their designers.

*Up to date as of 4/1/2025 with at least one entry for each Pokemon, but not every single alternate/variant

pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity is literally persona 3

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT IT'S CALLED NEWS BECAUSE IT'S THE PLURAL OF "NEW"??!??

one of those false etymology posts but with the actual etymology of the word

Walter White and Gurdurr have opposite character arcs

I'm going to the Hardware Store
