Vampires are just social media for the 1700s

Well played polite vampires! Otherwise you could have been subject to this rebuff!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 4 weeks ago

Spoilers for a very recent movie from this year.Sinners (2025).

[–] Arigion@feddit.org 59 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And I would have not read it if it was not "stolen".

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Then credit the author. That way people who enjoy it can know where it came from and may wind up reading his books.

So, yes. It was "stolen" as in plagiarized, since it does not provide appropriate credit.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

But is this even plagiarism of Terry Pratchett? Every reply seems to mention different books and that it's not from them. Unless this is a quote from Terry Pratchett it isn't plagiarism. Two pieces of media can be similar and not be plagiarism.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Not sure, but I was mostly outlining how dumb that person's argument is.

[–] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Which one? I've been meaning to give his stuff a shot. Something like this sounds like a fun place to start

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 month ago

Reading order

I'd start with either The Watch, or The Witches. Both are great, I'd avoid The Unseen University initially, his writing gets significantly better so the early books are harder to read.

[–] scholar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Carpe Jugulum has vampires who 'reform' and integrate into society (but I won't spoil anything else)

[–] Leavingoldhabits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Watch subseries mentions vampires quite a lot, and is a really good read. IIRC, the fifth elephant and thud! Have them as more than just ‘extras’ and names mentioned.

While you can pick up most any discworld book as a first one, and have a good time, a lot of people recommend reading at least the sub series in order, the watch series starts with Guards! Guards! And is really enjoyable all the way through, and a great place to start your discworld journey.

Replied to wrong comment

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It was also stolen (referencing?) Tomska's Let Me In sketch

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 4 points 1 month ago

I see Terry Pratchett, I upvote! GNU

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Its not really stolen from Discworld. I mean I could argue it was "stolen" from Myth-adventures as much as it was "stolen" from Discworld.

Pratchett takes the piss on a lot of 'norms'.

Yes there is a vampire temperance league and there is a side character who is a vampire who talks like that, but it's just background pretty much.

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nah I'm in if ageless isn't false too.

Just not immortal, 'cuz the Sun sure isn't.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But the sun hurts vampires, wouldn't they be happier without it? At least until everything else dies and they starve.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 1 month ago

Hahahaha jokes on everyone else, the sun already burns my when I step outside.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Happy little popsicles

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you wanna be here forever?

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Certainly not, but at least as long as humans are still around.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that's what I meant, i doubt I'd want to be alive even for a few centuries, one will be much more than enough

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd rather live as long as possible, the idea doesn't seem to bother me oddly enough. I've thought it through and still think I'd prefer extended life lifespan. I could elaborate, but people don't generally like hearing my views on such things so I'm not going to.

That said, I think your opinion is the most common that I've heard, and it's understandable.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

ok well I guess good luck on your quest of becoming a vampire

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Don't let them in! It's a trick!

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Nice try globalists
