My brain turned the onomatopoeia into the opening percussion sounds from Down Under by Men At Work.

This is entirely too many different instruments, but my brain instantly went to the Civ 3 Ancient Theme.

and then she was branded a witch and burned at the stake for taking over minds. Music wouldn't reemerge for 300 years.

That's... not how pre-neolithic societies did things.

do u have a more accurate joke

And then she was branded a witch and feared and revered for her witchly powers because it seems pretty fucking stupid to believe someone truly has strange and dangerous powers and immediately threaten their life.

Later witch hunts were just ways to turn mob violence against specific individuals who the original accusers didn't actually believe were witches but wanted to kill.

I mean, yours is more accurate as far as like the Salem Witch Trials, but humans absolutely murder each other over 100% imagined beliefs. Just look at ... the vast majority of history.

The Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition for starters. You'd be silly to think none of the boots on the ground believed the propaganda.

The first earworm is the source of hell.

Why does it feel like there's a missing panel?

Imagine getting a song stuck in your head for the first time ever as an adult

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aaaah thanks for that. The first ever ear worm

You weren't alone in being confused by that. My initial thought is that she'd tied bones to the back of his trousers like the cans behind a 'just married' car

Making random noises with my mouth is tight!

In the movie Caveman (1981, with Ringo Starr and Dennis Quaid), they invent music. That song has been stuck in my head for nearly 40 years.

He couldn't even say "what the hell" because the very concept of Hell hadn't been invented yet, life must have been tough before curse words.

He would also probably not speak English either

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Also where is he taking that bone

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

You don't walk around carrying a huge bone all day? Weirdo.
