All my homies hate grandpa joe

Except that one wall of text explaining the movie runs on the rules of Musicals and it all makes sense in that context.

I think I read it on Lemmy but it was a long time ago and I have no hope of finding it.

What are the rules of musicals?

I am flabbergasted but after searching for less than a minute I managed to find the year old post!

Quote that sums up the lengthy text:

But, look, I know that the grandpajoehate is ostensibly a meme. It’s a joke poking fun at the very musical rules that allow a bed-bound person to magically be cured in the first place. But it never acknowledges the fact that his spontaneous rejuvenation is magic, and that the magic is the magic of love.

Wow, thank you!!

That last one should be "valió la pena" but damn, yeah, those are some hard truths.

Agree that valio sounds better, but valga is valid too.

wait, you really say "sleeping in her" for "the bed"???

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

'La cama' is femenine. 'El sofá' is masculine.

Limpié el sofá y me dormí en él.

I cleaned the sofa and I slept on it (him)

You are right, that's what it says, gramatical gender is quite interesting isn't it? The same goes for other languages like French and German. Idk why you're getting downvoted, this is a genuine good question.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

gendered languages are something else yea

[-] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

"The bed" is femenine, but is an object so is "it"
