A new thread with only links doesn’t get a pass around here. General Questions is for questions that have a factual answer. There are other forums for everything else. ---

Anybody on this board who waxes nostalgic about fucking magnets should be shunned. I’m really tempted to put bananaphone in that category as well. (I only wax nostalgic about one show, ReBoot. “I come from the Net. Through systems, peoples and cities to this place: Mainframe…” Ahh, good times.) ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > What did i miss? I slept through it. You totally missed it. Obama came on TV and gave a speech telling the American people that the UN has decreed that Iran’s nuclear program must be stopped. Then he hopped in his lion robot and flew into orbit, landing in Tehran. But Ahmadinejad is all like “I shall destroy you, Obama!” and transforms into a ten story tall werebeast. It looks bad for Obama but then the other four members of the security council show up in their lion robots and help in the fight. It’s a stalemate for a while, but the Ahmadiejad werebeast gradually gets the upper hand. Oh no, our heroes are doomed! But then Obama is all “Security Council, form Voltron!” and the five lion robots combine to form one giant robot! Like a fucking boss, the robot pulls out a sword and slices Ahmadiejad in half. I’m not surprised you haven’t heard about it, though. It’s the kind of story that the liberal media won’t report on. ---

Except for the Thundercats, I thought those were all current cartoons. Is Pokemon really nostalgia material now, for anyone old enough to be posting here? ---

Can someone tell me what’s up with the fucking magnets? Is this a meme I missed somehow? ---

Rugrats started in 1991 so an 8 year old who started watching it at the beginning would be 28 now. Pokemon and Dexter’s Lab both started in 1996 so an 8 year old who started watching them at the beginning would be 23 now. Thundercats started in 1985 so an 8 year old who started watching at the beginning would be 34 now. ---
