What's the lathe/whhrrr bit about?
Reference to the Ursula K book, around these parts it's been memed that people here cause the future to happen by controlling the lathe of heaven. The sound effect part is just brrrrrrrr.
In this case, it's being mixed with the Assad meme which is the "who must go" meme or "assad curse", everyone that ever says Assad must go has been outlived by Assad's rule. In short, Netanyahu saying this about Assad is like latheing his own end.
It would be funny if the Assad curse just continued beyond belief.
For instance, we achieve global communism in 2100 when Assad, still in power and in great physical condition, becomes communist
「CAN 'T MOSSAD THE ASSAD」
Obama isn't dead lolwth?
They're not supposed to be dead.
Yet
DJT isn't dead yet, either, but neither are in power anymore, and we can dream
The Lathe of Heaven - movie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lathe_of_Heaven_(film) IMDB
George Orr, a man whose dreams can change waking reality, tries to suppress this unpredictable gift with drugs. Dr. Haber, an assigned psychiatrist, discovers the gift to be real and hypnotically induces Mr. Orr to change reality for the benefit of mankind
with bizarre and frightening results.
The device where the shrink manipulates these dreams to try to remake reality is kind of like a Monkey's Paw of unintended consequences. Such as trying to fix racism and everyone in the world having grey skin.
Don't threaten me with a good time
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
We joke about how the worst possible ideas get manifested, as if plucked straight out of the air the moment we speak of it.
Lathe of heaven, it is essentially about someone who can alter reality with their thoughts.
Oh boy... New megalomanic delusion just dropped...
Well, with their dreams, which they don't have control of, and are manipulated by their shrink until they dream of a reality where they do not have this power
Nah I'm sure my delusions will find a way around that limitation if the time comes :)
