      So I remembered Adam Savage mentioning that he got the phrase from a friend, so I went hunting for the video. Anyone heard of a film called Dungeon Masters?:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WFFhicVeXI (12 minute video, but only the first 3mins are relevant)

            They’re from a mastodon instance. They replied to me so maybe the people they @ can see them? Idk. Fediverse is weird. Imagine you’re on Reddit and someone tweets at you. Pretty cool though haha

          No it’s a rap battle between the MythBusters and The Ghostbusters so they’re referencing it.

              I must be too online lol because I thought there’s no way somebody doesn’t know Epic Rap Battles of history. Pretty sure they’re one of the biggest YouTube channels.

                My opinion of them is tainted, because growing up my older brother was a little too obsessed with the Vader vs. Hitler one. Like there’s no way it isn’t concerning that he could recite the whole thing from memory…

    "The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

    To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

      The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I’m guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5’s voice.
