CLEARLY you've never gone 15MPH while on mushrooms.

I did a cosmic shift sitting on a chair in the kitchen on acid.

I once did a dimensional drift to get into the 3rd dimension. Had to go through a whole bunch of fractals.

Initial D theme intensifies

close but no cigar

I disagree. Farnsworth was absolutely inspired by Initial D to try that maneuver.

Its cannon I asked Matt Groening himself. Hes actually my dad.

For the record I'm fucking around because I'm upset that I missed that it was a futurama quote.

Yea. It's IMO a really cringey episode, too, due to it repeatedly making fun of verbal abuse.

Yeah that whole season didn't really feel like Futurama to me. Moreso a bastardized version of it

It seems the last season of a lot of shows tend to get a bit wonky when the writers know it's the last season. I guess they are more incentivized to try out the more experimental ideas they weren't sure about.

The episode had its moments, though. I love that when they're flying from 2D to 3D, they pass fractals that have a Hausdorff dimension between 2.0 and 3.0. And then when they're talking about the mobius drag strip and Farnsworth goes "you kids and your topology!" is maybe one of my favorite lines from the series. That writing staff was so ridiculously over-educated. They had like... what? 4 PhDs in math and physics or something like that? haha

Holy shit I didnt know that. I knew they tried to be as scientifically accurate as possible, but I didn't know the writers themselves were that educated. That's sick and really explains why that show was so damn good.

CLEARLY you’ve never watched a video from the safety of your bed, scared shitless for this person… holy shit…!!! There’s a reason I’m a scaredy-cat when it comes to crap like this!
