I AM SO UPSET BECAUSE I FOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL TREASURE AND ITā€™S 80 DOLLARS AND I CANā€™T HAVE IT AND I WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN

LOOK

LOOK AT THEIR PASTA FACES

FUCK

FUCK

FUCK

@sailormoonsub can we please talk about Queen Berylā€™s facial expression on this can?

We can talk about this. All of this. This is honestly a feat of marketing that can only be described as magical, if you think about it. Someone said to someone else,Ā ā€œYou know what would make this North American dub of a magical girl anime more accessible to our primary demographic? Spaghetti-Oā€™s.ā€ So someone reached out to Heinz Co. who for reasons unknown to this day agreed that this bargain would be mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Someone had to design pasta interpretations of the popular characters, and someone else has to build the extrusion machine (perhaps it still exists somewhere out there). It was someoneā€™s job to keep dough pumping at a consistent rate through the mass-production assembly line so that no single iteration of Sailor Jupiterā€™s face looked any more distorted than any other. Someone had to put an equal number of these abstract symbols into each can; someone had to stack the cans at the grocery store; someone had to exchange governmentally regulated currency for the cans. (Itā€™s amazing what human life will go through for different configurations of the same atoms.) I consider myself lucky to be on the earth at the same time as this can.Ā 

I guarantee that I ate many of these spaghettios as I insisted my mom to grab them whenever they were on sale, which was often. I used to set aside the Lunas for last because they were my favourite shape. Iā€™d feel guilty eating each and every distorted kitty.

I love that this discovery has brought out all these stories. I never saw these before a week ago (according to the seller they were only produced in Canada, where I am not) and I will treasure it all the more.

This is the dumbest thing to nitpick but the phrase ā€œreal UFOā€ bothers me any UFO is a real UFO as long as itā€™s unidentified and flying because thatā€™s what those words mean weather or not itā€™s an alien is a different matter it could be a pancake someone threw real hard as long as you donā€™t know thatā€™s what it is itā€™s a UFO

iā€™ve said it before, and iā€™ll say it again: anything is a UFO if youā€™re bad enough at identifying stuff

A counterproposal: in order to be a fake UFO, something can fail to be an object, or fail to be flying.

So the batsignal, improperly identified, could be a fake UFO, because although it appears in the sky and might be mistaken for a UFO, it is neither a physical object nor in any meaningful sense flying. Various light projections, optical illusions, and meteorological phenomena might fall into this category.

Additionally, seen from a distance or in poor lighting/visibility conditions, some sort of bulbous sculpture on a very tall thin support might also appear to be a UFO, and fulfill both theĀ ā€˜unidentifiedā€™ andĀ ā€˜objectā€™ criteria, without flying, and therefore qualify as aĀ ā€˜fake UFOā€™.

this may be the most pedantic thing Iā€™ve ever written in my lifeĀ 

and we love you for it

But if it was made by real aliens, then THEY obviously know what it is.

So, if it is an actual alien spaceship, then it is not unidentified, and is therefore not a real UFO.
