It's more that people don't associate "nine eleven" with 11 September here.

At the moment, this is evidence of mild and forgivable thoughtlessness on the part of some random person on the studio's promotion staff. Roll your eyes and move on.

When the Truthers start waving this tweet around as proof of a conspiracy, then we can all start laughing.

HAMATO YOSHI DID 9/11!

Junius: May 14, 2006; Thank you, entertainment committee.

For what it's worth, I'm Australian and when I saw that TMNT poster in my feed as a promoted tweet, September 11th was one of the first things I thought of (right after, "The hell is up with Donatello?"). It wasn't rage-inducing or anything, more of a cringey, "Ooh, someone's gonna regret not picking up on that sooner" moment.

I'm the same but it was more "I'm gonna have a good time laughing at people getting angry over it." and behold I am.

This is not a criticism of you at all, but are you aboriginal? I ask this because it's definitely not overly sensitive white people, but definitely aboriginal people who see the term native, Indian, and other terms as oppressive because they are essentially a colonized name that was imposed by the Canadian government.

I use the term aboriginal because it's generally accepted as the academic term, in papers and publications particularly, but I have seen a recent push for Indigenous. Some choose to identify as their particular background, ie I've seen people who are Ojibwe prefer to be called "anishnabe", but that can be difficult because there are so many different people who might identify as different things.

The safest blanket terms currently are aboriginal and indigenous, not native, or even First Nations. Many larger organizations with Indian in their name are changing.

It becomes difficult because there are people who are fine with identifying as native or Indian, and some who are vehemently against it. I work with aboriginal people in an academic environment and have heard different people describe themselves differently. Okay that's all!

No, I am not, and like I said, purely anecdotal. It's observations I've made while living and growing up in small towns on the edge of reserves, lots of schoolmates, friends, etc. Of course it's unfair to say that every nation and individual thinks and feels the same. Until our country stops being so drat racist towards them, it's definitely a heated topic.

If they haven't already died from the dirty water/lack of filtration, no temperature monitoring, tiny tank that isn't even half filled with water, lack of lid so they can bounce out when it crashes into something...

Does the chair actually have those qualities? Like does it actually feel and smell like flesh? It's straight up surreal to think about coming home and plopping down on a giant flesh heap. What the hell.

According to the article the chair's made out of silicone and leather, and its designed to have the pliable qualities of flesh so that it feels like sitting on a belly or something. The smell is based off the aftershave used by the chair's model.

I was going to say "finally, a perfect job for goons", but it'd require certain hygiene standards. Don't want your floor model to have stains, after all.

It's bullshit that the chairs smell like aftershave and not natural human musk. BO or GTFO IMO.

Seriously, this Kermit meme is the weirdest, mainly in how drat passive-aggressive it is. They make half of a lovely observation, immediately disown it, and all through the abstraction of a frog puppet.

OldTennisCourt: Sep 11, 2011; by VideoGames

They're pretty clearly not actually disowning it. The 'none of my business' part is just a sarcastic way to say 'Hey, just saying...'. It's just people making observations of stuff they disagree with.

This video is one of the bigger reasons for it exploding if I'm correct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UCArDfYB4o

I understand that. I'm saying phrases like that are lovely ways to say something stupid or terrible and then weasel your way out of backlash.
