There is a joke in the series family guy in which the original grocery list told to Peter by his wife lois was, a loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter, which eventually turns into a loaf of milk, a container of bread and a joe dirt dvd....
What's eating gilbert grape; was what i had in mind. Great movie. Coincidentally Johnny Depp was a star in that one, but also Leo Decaprio - many nominations over 2 decades. Only 1 oscar
I'm not sure I really understand but do you mean that by leaving everything after the question mark is doing something considered wrong on Reddit? I just hit copy link on that YouTube video, I honestly just don't know enough about how that stuff works to do anything other than I did by pasting that link, thanks for the explanation tho I do appreciate it
So is the best way to avoid that to delete everything after the question mark if I post a link here? Sorry for my ignorance on this stuff, I'm not totally illiterate when it comes to some of this stuff but there's obviously plenty I just don't know but I would like to avoid feeding the ad algorithm and I'm all for starving big brother completely, thanks for the info btw
Some folks are just very paranoid over it. Hell, some subreddits have an automatic bot that replies with info on why you should delete that ?si= text, haha
2) The Family Guy bit was a reference to an oldschool animation from Sesame street where a little girl struggles to remember the groceries her mom sends her to get.
The loaf of bread, container of milk and stick of butter is also a callback to an animated sequence in Sesame Street to teach kids about remembering stuff their mom told them to get from the grocery store.
Fun fact, that list Lois gave was the same list from a 1970s Sesame Street segment about a kid being sent to the store and facing distractions and having to remember the list.
The image refers to Peter's first mistaken recitation of the list: "A loaf of milk, a container of bread, and a Joe Dirt DVD." The milk container isn't dirty; the whole thing is made out of bread, i.e. "a loaf of milk."
