That's sadly how a lot of these keep happening. The plain text is ok, but there are hidden caveats. I've taken to thinking "If I were a billionaire, how old I exploit this topic" and then started looking for that before voting.

I shared this the last time this clip came up. The line by Gene Wilder was apparently an ad lib. So what you are seeing is Cleavon Little's genuine reaction to the joke.

They're crumple zones! And by 'they' I mean your knees 😬

Thank you, I immediately thought of this article. The big question no one asks us why? Without a functional magnetosphere or an abundance of water (great rad shielding) any colony would have to have a large amount of rock over their heads to shield from radiation, so... Why?

Jupiter also forms the core of one of my favorite hymnal tunes "Thaxted" named after his home village. If you're unfamiliar with the tune, the easiest reference is actually from Bluey. The one with, you guessed it the planets.

Yeah, it also fits perfectly with Mel Brooks style of poking fun at divisive conversations/topics.

I think this shorts out some people's brains because they are used to the dopamine drip of Twitter that would artificially elevate posts based on "engagement", i.e. whatever is the most enraging, hateful, and vile. And thankfully we don't have that here.

The hilarious thing is this place is what those sort of people have theoretically been clamoring for all along. Anyone can make an account and post here now. It's just their toxic positions result in instant blocks and we don't have a rage-driven algorithm enhancing their visibility.

Fun fact: IIRC, this line was ad libbed by Gene Wilder, which is why you can see Cleavon Little go from poker faced, to trying not to crack up, to straight up laughing.
