Why Sonic? Well, if you were ~12 years old in 1999, three things happened:

  1. Sonic Adventure came out in North America
  2. Home Internet access exploded
  3. You started feeling funny feelings down there

And that's what Sonicmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

All three things were true for me and I'm still not a furry or Sonic fanatic. Not saying those things are bad but all the ingredients were there and somehow it just didn't click for me.

There may be other, secret ingredients not listed.

I'm sorry for your loss

Sonic doesn't do anything to anyone. Sonic just attracts people that have already had stuff done to them.

I don't understand. Why is a crocodile pouring Crystal Pepsi on a Chao?

Still don't get it. What does Pepsi and Sonic have to do with baptism?

Crystal Beptism

[–] wieson 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Arabic speakers often have trouble pronouncing the p and in Arabic Pepsi is called Bebsi. This became a meme several years ago.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Oh is that where that annoying 🅱️ meme from a couple of years ago came from?

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 hours ago

Some of its ironic, some of it isn't.

The good shit is the stuff that isn't, but totally is.

I just started watching Bill Mahrs hbo weekly thing and the most recent one he calls out the sonic feet artist Fandom.

What a wild timeline we jumped to.

As the grandfather of all internet autism, Chris chan should be consulted.

Apologies

Gonna look over my shoulder for a very deserved macing

Nah, man, I'm autistic

"You're eating that meal again?"

I just said I'm autistic

"You like Sonic The Hedgehog?"

Yeah, man, that's a prerequisite

"Why are you hyperfixating?"

See the above, bitch

Am so done with these sexy hedgehogs. You put your prick into them, you get hundreds back.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Thats actually the echidna and their multi headed dicks.

[–] federalreverse 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So ... I understand the Crystal Bepis part of this. But I have no clue how that's related to Sonic.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 19 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

That's Knuckles, and the baby is a Chao. I don't recognize the alligator character though.

It tumbles down your tongue.

I see videos of the entire series and I have to wonder what's going on with Sonic, too. Because after the original games, it just seems like they have been throwing random shit into them just to see what sticks. One of the newer ones kinda reminds me of a Rust-like game made by a teenager using whatever free assets they could get so everything looks like it came from 13 different games. IDK if that's maybe part of the appeal, but it looks funky as an outsider.
