I don't care if I get a warning, let alone a ban whether temp or perameant but
When nuclear war/WW3 happens, we'll see who will be talking. We're closer to it ever then we ever have been before with how much of a mess Trump has made this world. The threats Putin and North Korea continues to make.
Unlike back then, society didn't have such destructive weapons they created, today tho...Everyone with this talk of human history going through its struggles, being persistent and resilient.
And for anyone who don't live in Canada like I do, with how deranged Trump is, its not out of the question for him to have the US invade Canada as Russia had with Ukraine. And if you think that's just fearmongering, just remember that Pro-Putin people said that Russia would never invade Ukraine, until February 24th, 2022, when suddenly, they all fell silent for a couple days... Elon Musk also tweeted that Canada is not a country, parroting the exact same rhetoric that was coming from Putin and Moscow before talks rolled into Ukraine with little warning (the warning Ukraine DID have came from US intelligence at the time). See why this is a tenuous point in time for Canada? What in the world makes you think Elon Trump isn’t serious about anything it’s doing right now?
Everyone thinks Trump saying Canada being the 51st state is some joke thrown around but just wait and see who will be laughing when it happens. People being people will make jokes and humor about it because that's what people do, humor and jokes being the only thing to keep hope going apparently, joking about a country invading and people getting killed. People y'all!
It happens and all the other countries would do is send condelences and their prayers which does nothing and countries sending troops in to "help" fighting in yet again another pointless war with plenty of pointless death occurring. ;D
Sure humanity as a whole would survive but what about yourself and those close to you? Good chance the majority would be dead if nuclear war especially erupts.
And if you were amongst the survivors, continue with that false hope, keep cracking jokes in a barren apocalyptic world as if its the only thing keeping life going for you while you struggle to survive.
Rant done finally for real.

You sound like a conspiracy theorist typing this from a bunker bro.
Realistically, right? In the past half century since its inception, we’ve developed multiple ways to intercept said missiles. We’re gonna be fine man. We’re not even in a Cold War right now, its just diplomacy being trashed across different nations.
If they really wanted to end the world, they ain’t gonna do it over Ukraine.

STOP IT!
Your constant fearmongering is NOT helping ANYONE. So many of us have our own day-to-day worries that we have to tackle every day of our lives WITHOUT having to worry about the bigger things hanging over our heads. We know it's there, we're all worried deep down, but spending our lives worrying about that is only gonna make our lives absolutely miserable. We're all trying to live the best lives we can. Have you already given up?
I'm sorry that you're hurting so much about everything, but you seem genuinely unreceptive to all our attempts to try and make things easier for you. If this is what you truly believe, y'know, that's truly fine. But living in constant dread is not gonna help ypu.
And taking out all this anxiety on us, when a lot of us are already coping with a lot of stress, both related to the Trump administration and not, is gonna turn this thread REALLY sour.
Look man, I've tried to be as patient as I possibly can, but I just can't deal with this constant negative energy anymore. All I really want is to make other people smile, no matter how long humanity has left.
I'm not gonna try to change your mind, cuz it's clear that this is just your belief and I don't wanna force my own hope onto you. But saying all this doomerist stuff in a thread that's meant to be a happy, wholesome discussion thread is really not doing anyone any favors, especially in the landscape we live in now.
Just, please try to remember that even if you don't think humanity is gonna make it through the next 100 years, that we're here to make your life slightly better than it is, and that we're all fighting our own battles against both the administration and our own daily lives.

Michael I know you won't listen to a thing I say, because I don't think you listen to what anyone here says judging by your long, long history here, but for your sake.
Get off the computer, go outside, take a breather and touch grass. Your doomer nihilism is only hurting your own mental health.

Lil late to the commercial convo but my sisters and I wanted this so bad, but our parents said no.
Well someone we knew had this and wabted to show it off, and well...
Let's just say I learned what scams were that day.

I don't think my parents ever fell for outright scams, either, but there were also some items that they opted not to get simply because they were worried they were too dangerous.
As a kid I thought Moon Shoes would've been awesome to have and that being able to jump extremely high on my own would've been a blast, but my family heard about a lot of kids getting injured while using them. Considering how they work, I think they made the right call.
This commercial has the same energy as both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network humor as well as late 2000s and early 2010s Youtube humor.
And yet it predates the latter.

I think now is a good moment to take a moment to chill. I know things are hard, but your life is a precious, valued thing. There's a lot to appreciate in this world, and there's a lot of good memories to make. I think it's good to remember that.
Very nice choice of music there!

One last item I want to bring up regarding old 2000s products and commercials of the 2000s and 90s, does anyone remember these? Or happen to ever own one?
Pixters were a huge hit in the mid 2000s, but as their target audience grew up, they became less popular and Mattel eventually stopped making them, and they've since more or less faded into obscurity.

If you want to live in a bleak future that's not yet come to pass, go ahead.
But don't drag us into your head. We're all worried about the future, we do not need your apocalyptic prophecies on top of that.

They started gaining popularity in like 2003 to 2005 I think. It's easily possible that you could've missed them or were too young to remember them back then. I was born in 1997 and the Nintendo 64 was still in production and getting new games for years after I was born, but I didn't know the console even existed until I was about 10 or 11 at least.
Pixter consoles were in production from 2000 to 2007. They stopped making new models two years before production of the line of consoles was shut down completely.

It's saying something when I'm far, far more pessimistic and even I think the doomposting had gotten obnoxious.

I think if Project X Zone 3 includes Scrimblo mascots (Such as Sonic, Pac-Man, etc) it still can be one of the greatest video games of all time.

Alright, 5 of my 6 are at 75 now. Really getting ready for the Cell Games. And by the Cell Games, I mean fighting Red in the remake. Will Heracross clutch up like he did in the OG version and pack up Snorlax? I hope so.
I remember this. It was quite a thing back then when I was a kid. I played with it some.

I'll always remember that ad for how the Nostalgia Critic parodied it.

I used to see commercials for it all the time on either CN, Nick, or quite possibly both, and my mom actually bought me the last and most advanced model they ever made before I knew it existed. Combine that with the licensed games that you mentioned, and I'm honestly shocked that I myself am one of the very few people I know who ever owned at least one Pixter.I should have every commercial played on Nick from 2000-2006 burned into my mind but this doesn't ring a bell.
And it looks like I should considering it had enough Nick software released for it for someone to consider the Angry Beavers alongside all the usual early 2000's Nick stuffPixter - Wikipedia
As for why it's become so obscure, though, I think I can at least understand that. It was made by Fisherprice and thus generally marketed towards younger kids, in addition to pretty much only having mini-game based games or eduitainment games. It didn't last long so most kids likely quickly started to forget about it as they grew up and moved on from a console that wasn't getting any new game or models, and there was no reason for adults to buy any aside from collectors and game historians.
There's a handful of essays about the Pixter on Youtube. There seem to be a fairly large number people who owned and have nostalgia for the Pixter, even if it never truly became a famous or lasting console.
This is exactly why my parents decided not to buy me a pair of Moon Shoes lmao.
Just like how the Red Rider BB Gun will shoot your eye out, with those moon shoes...

HOLY CRAP THIS IS ANOTHER THING I HAD AS A KID I FORGOT ABOUT
FLOAM was fun enough to work with, it was kind of like a fancier Play-Doh. I mostly used it to make tiny sculptures like starfish and robots, but I did use it to decorate a few other toys as well. I'd say it shined best if you actually use it to decorate stuff like the commercial suggested, because I didn't use it for that reason much and eventually forgot about it as well.
