Definition: the ongoing period starting around 2021 in which every aspect of the world has begun to evoke feelings reminiscent of the Uncanny Valley

the Uncanny Valley is a well documented phenomenon where almost human but not alive but not dead ish entities and aesthetics evoke revulsion in the minds of those who observe them

i feel like since 2016 or so humanity has continuously fallen deeper into the valley, politically socially psychologically technologically and every other '-ally' word that I can't think of because my brain feels like slop

it only really kicked into gear during/after Lockdown, though, which is why I propose the start date of this period being early 2021

examples I can think of right now:

ai slop and societal/individual brainrot

the geopolitical situation we're in feels almost real but is absurd and seems to get more so by the day (slopulism + slopaganda)

I suggest we rename this conflict + its merge with Russia-Ukraine "the Potato War".

September - Netanyahu in New York

October - Israeli elections

November - US Midterms

The next three months are going to be intense to say the least. Israel’s elections alone will be historically important. What do you guys predict will happen?

This seems to be one of the only sane and respectful subreddits I've ever come across. I want to learn more about the different branches of leftism, as I feel my political and moral sensibilities align with much of it. Specifically, I'd love to know about branches of leftism that are related to Jewish philosophy and thought (I'm not particularly observant but I'm very philosophically and ethically aligned with the Jewish principles I was raised by (Machloket L'Shem Shamayim, Tikkun Olam, Yisrael meaning "to wrestle with God", Tzedek and Tzedakah). Does anyone have any good resources or information? Thanks.

I think my favorite moment in It's Always Sunny (and easily one of my favorite moments in comedy television history) is when Charlie and Dennis come up with the "Dayman" song in Sweet Dee is Dating a R***rded Person, it's just absolute perfect timing and material from beginning to end.
