  • I never expected I have to explain Lion King, but here we are Lemmy…

    Hakuna Matata is a song in Disney’s implementation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, The Lion King. In the cartoon Timon and Pumbaa sing the song, they resemble Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern in Shakespeare’s original play. In the cartoon they are a meerkat and a warthog. So from the title it sounds like this animal should be one of those singing Hakuna Matata, and it’s clearly not a meerkat. So in my intetpretation, the author thought this is a warthog, and associated the image with the song of the warthog from the cartoon.










  • for other poor non-americans like me, who heard the term aafes first time in their shitty non-freedomy life:

    The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES, also referred to as The Exchange and post exchange/PX or base exchange/BX) provides goods and services at U.S. Army, Air Force, and Space Force installations worldwide, operating department stores, convenience stores, restaurants, military clothing stores, theaters and more nationwide and in more than 30 countries and four U.S. territories.

    By the holocaust Germany lost all their colonies, after WW1, so again, I don’t how this is related here. Jews were living within Germany for centuries. And the point was it doesn’t matter in relation to other attrocities.

    Russia was also a colonial power, and one of the last which is still one, ask a Yakut guy or someone from the northern Caucasus. So it should be also added there?
