Bad day to be one of the Ramirez’s
Not far off from the plot of the 2009 film Moon
Quite far off from the plot of the 2007 film Shrek The Third though.
🌈✨⭐
These are the insightful observations I keep coming back to Lemmy for.
What do you mean? Doesn’t that imply there’s three Shreks? Sounds pretty close to me.
Such a great film. And a great piece of commentary on how capitalism treats employees as disposable assets.
Sci Fi often skews left, doesn’t it?
Twist: You’ve been in space for a couple years and there’s only one Ramirez, you have an aggressive brain tumor.
You’re Ramirez.
Yasssssss
And then, John was the Ramirez.
Ahh John, that glib fucker. All of us have hated him since he started. That leathery handprint of a face, those smug stitches. Never says a fucking word. Just stares with those lifeless eyes. Somebody called him Wilson once, that, got his attention. Now that he’s one of us … yeah, well, he’s doomed too…

Lock one in the airlock, and confine the already-in one to quarters. If Outside Ramirez is bad but can’t defeat the module’s external shielding, this isn’t a good plan. This has the downside of bringing Bad Ramirez to Earth but the upside of not forcing Either Ramirezs, good or bad, to fight for their life. Anyway, fucking love this. Thanks for reminding me of the horror of a Second Ramirez.
I vote to space them both.
One of them is already spaced, the work is already half done
Not sure who wrote this specifically but a bunch of Clickhole ‘celebrity quotes’ were written by Joe Kwaczala who is hilarious.
I’d get the rest of the crew near or in the module and discuss the next course of action.
“Ramirez. Suit up. You’re gonna go out there and you’re not coming back in until there is only one of you left.”
First Ramirez to take Burger Town gets let back in
Isn’t it something happening in Solaris?
This is referenced in Warframe in a couple of ways at different points in the game. For example: You have a kinda schizophrenic ship AI, and while you’re floating in space he says this sometimes:
“KNOCK KNOCK! …Now who would be knocking all the way out here?! Operator, I don’t think you should answer that.” (Here’s a clip: https://youtu.be/ilHi4LeKZmM)
I’ll not mention the others since I’d say they’re spoilers.
“Hey kiddo.”
“To be honest with you Diane, I’m surprised”
maybe it makes you think but I’m built different
Speaking of US space program, Clickhole also revealed the greatest presidential speech ever that was never delivered. …oops, this isn’t quite like I remember reading it - maybe this is a different draft?
Pretty sure there’s an xkcd comic joking about the backup speech in case they returned with more astronauts than they left with
Red Dwarf - Psirens (1993)
As KRYTEN and LISTER head for the cockpit, the airlock monitor fizzes on again and a SECOND LISTER appears on the screen.
LISTER 2: What the hell are you doing taking off when I’m still outside? Let me in.
KRYTEN double-takes between the LISTER inside and the LISTER on the monitor.
KRYTEN: I’m afraid, sir, you’re already here.
RIMMER steps down from the cockpit.
LISTER 1: He’s a Psiren – don’t let him in. LISTER 2: For god’s sake – I can’t hang on any longer. He’s the Psiren. Let me in! RIMMER: What do we do? KRYTEN: there’s no way to tell which is which. We have to let him in. RIMMER: That means we’ll definitely have one Psiren on board. A brain- sucking psychotic temporal lobe slurper. KRYTEN: There’s a fifty per cent chance we have one on board already. We can’t risk killing the real Lister. I’m letting him in.
Are you telling me that if you remove the laugh track from red dwarf… you lose a comedy and gain a sci-fi/horror/drama?
We bought this run-down house, my boyfriend and I. While he started working on converting the kitchen into the main bedroom, I insisted on removing the old wallpaper. The previous owner papered every wall and ceiling in the house! It’s a lot of work to remove, but it feels so good to get rid of it. The best feeling is getting a long peel, like when your skin peels after a bad sunburn. I turned it into a game, on the hunt to rip the longest piece possible.
I noticed there was a person’s name and date under a corner section of paper in every room. I couldn’t help but investigate and Googled those names. What I discovered left me speechless. The names all belonged to missing people, and the dates matched the day of their disappearance! We notified the police, who sent the crime scene team. I overheard one of them say, “Yeah, it’s human.” Wait, what’s human? “Ma’am, where is all the material you removed? This isn’t wallpaper.”
debunk: would be too expensive, plant fiber is orders of magnitude cheaper.
Another debunk: human skin wallpaper would be irregularly shaped, so it wouldn’t have “corners” to write names and dates under. Also, it would be a lot more than one victim per wall. Also also, I’m pretty sure it would look profoundly weird and not like normal wallpaper at all.
Nice foreshadowing with the bit about peeling a sunburn, though.
must … not … ask AI to generate human skin wallpaper
It would look like leather, except that cowhides are big enough to cut into reasonably large rectangular panels and human skins aren’t.
(On a related note, one way you can tell a leather sofa is high-quality is by checking the back: if it’s made of several stitched-together strips, that’s good. If it’s one big piece, they cheaped out and used vinyl 'cause cows aren’t that big.)
If you already have some spare skin you can at least use it for somethimg. You wouldn’t eat that anyway, and mom will be happy for you remodeled the kitchen!
You wouldn’t eat that anyway
Who’s to say it’s not like pork rinds?
it puts the fiber on the walls or it gets the audit again
Oops, already ate it. Sorry, didn’t know it was evidence.
you know, in a day and age where it’s wearisome to accuse one’s neighbours, i still find it surprisingly easy to tell my friends you’re a scoundrel.
If you have not read it, I recommend you this short comic: https://emcarroll.com/comics/faceallred/01.html
Same dread feeling…
Thanks for this recommendation! You know some places where I find more of this?
This one is also very good.
Get the short stories from Stephen King, I like “Everything is eventual” particularly “The Man in the Black Suit” , I have kids now so I think about this one pretty often. Also the “1408” short story is there.
E.M. Carroll has some other comics but I haven’t read them yet.
And switching things a little bit, play “Fear amd Hunger” or watch Worm Girl narrating it. Really dread-y
That’s all I remember for now.
Wasn’t this a Netflix movie
This is essentially John Carpenters “The Thing” but in space instead of Antarctica. One of my favorites.
