The German community has the "Heil Hortler", which are swastikas that are hilariously badly drawn, but I don't think it's on Lemmy yet.

I've never read the books, although I'd really like to. I only know two things: Its fucking awesome and really, really long and convoluted. Someone told me that getting into it is hard, but there is nothing quite like it and its worth it. I watched the series while drinking beer and hanging out with my father. We both like fantasy, needed something to binge and I heard of the source material. We thought the series (only seen the first season) was pretty cool. Knowing the infamy of the books it was clear that they had to cut vast parts of the books, but for someone uninitiated it was a fun watch. At the same time I already thought it had to be unbearable for fans of the book for the same reason.
New wave esoteric is dangerous and cringe
My favourite is castle in the sky. To be honest, the nostalgia goggles play a major part, but the movie is just so damn beautiful with the interpersonal drama, the stunning themes of nature (both human and environmental) and the bombast of the inhuman weaponry a multitude of people want to acquire. Its just a fucking banger. Like many Ghibli movies I can't fathom how anyone would rate it for kids, but I'm glad I watched it as a child.

To bei honest, I highly favour oral exams. This semester I had to chose between a 20 page termpaper or a 20 minute oral exam, which was a no-brainer to me. Writing a termpaper clashes with my ADHD. I have to keep tabs on like 15 books and the according notes and work on the project virtually uninterrupted for ~1 month without any kind of feedback until I hand it in? Thats a nightmare... Oral exams on the other hand are awesome. I can read like 2 books in the matter in around a week (because I don't need to take notes) for preparation and can just geek out with my professor about the topic. I think I just favour the conversation style of the exam, when my prof reacts to my answer I can infer if it was right or if I should come back to it. I don't think your opinion is wrong or something, but different flavours of neurodivergency have different needs. I really like that more offen than not I can choose the category of my exam :)
