    Every Super Bowl there is a competing halftime show from other channels or websites. This year we have right wing lunatics acting like they’re the first and only ones to do so. Maybe year they’re do a puppy killing bowl to rival the regular one since we all know how much they love doing that.

      I mean, the original’s not great either, it’s a bunch of guys wrapped in Confederate flags singing about how Watergate wasn’t even a big deal actually, and guys who criticize racism like Neil Young should just shut up

      What ever happened to the corn? I’m a very political person, but can we keep it out of shitposting?

      I just want one community where it isn’t infected with it.

      That’s what gets upvotes on Lemmy, sadly.

      This is how Voat (another Reddit clone) died. Political shitposts and clickbait tabloids crowded out every niche, so all the interesting content left.

      As it turns out, doomscrolling twitter troll reposts with the same few comments in each one is quite depressing.

      I don’t know a good solution, either. Clickbait works. Maybe some structural changes could help, though?

    These people are so used to talking in their echo chamber and responding to things they lied about us saying that we are lost if we just wander into their posts.

    They are freaking out because kid rock. What? Nobody gives a shit about kid rock, how old is that asshole now? Him and ted nugent can front a half time show about fucking children all they want, no one in reality cares.

    And no one cares about the half time show, tv executives don’t particularly care either, it’s a bit piece, something for the people that don’t watch football normally. None of the fans give a shit about the half time show particularly.

    Super bowl outcome will be decided before the players take the field. Sports betting has ruined any professional sports.

      I mean we can be sure the Super Bowl staff are very good at choosing people that are culturally relevant and will make people spend on ads. Not into Bad Bunny myself, although not really tried yet, but I believe he’s massive.

      They said the same last year about Kendrick Lamar, someone I do love, and it was a great show.

          Nah dont be revisionist, Bawitaba was a hell of a jam when it came out, pretty much that whole album went hard.

          I’ll listen to it still, but only through a medium where he doesnt get paid royalties because NOW he is a piece of shit.

      He is still out there. In fact someone just dumped like a hundred murdered goats on state land near where he is one of the biggest landlords. Naturally I thought of him, made a joke about it, the conservatives all took it as a real accusation and freaked out demanding evidence to the point where I’m now convinced it actually was him and his people, and their whack em and stack em canned hunts.

      They raise animals in captivity and put them in a fenced in area so they can blow them all away en masse with assault rifles. Because killing things is fun, none of the pesky sportsmanship or tracking to get in the way of the sheer joy of slaughtering captive animals, apparently.

        They’re 22 years apart, literally different generations. Nugent is a boomer and Rock is GenX.

        Actually, yeah you’re right. Those are nearly the same generation almost in practice.

    I mean, I won’t watch this trash, and I really do hope it flops, but I feel like the caviler dismissal of the possibility of it going well is exactly how Trump won when he has.

    There’s a lot of idiots out there, and everyone sits in their bubble, smuggly talking about how these people don’t exist, and then get really fucking surprised when they turn out in droves.
