    Can we take a step back and just appreciate how good Bluey is?

    1. Challenging but accessible

    2. Inclusive

    3. Emotional depth

    4. Grounded

    5. Not disgusting annoying

    I really appreciate when kids shows are made with parents/guardians in mind (ie will watching the same episode 50 times make you want to off yourself or not)

      It is really nice to have a children’s TV show that doesn’t scream the title and characters’ names at us over and over, mainly to make sure we remember to buy merchandise

    Lmao I was watching an episode of ST: Voyager the other day and a little girl learning about mitochondria said they were the “warp core of the cell”. That phrase is ridiculously pervasive

      It’s been so ubiquitous for so long that I honestly don’t know where it came from. But most of the time when I hear “the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” it’s being used to take a jab at how impractical our education system is, as though to say, “instead of teaching me about X, they taught me about the mitochondria”

      Grew up in Asia. Only moved to the US for undergrad… And this applies. So it’s not just the Americans methinks.

        That’s interesting

        We don’t have that where I live, sure we had to learn the organelles of a cell, but there was no über-focusing on the mitochondria.

        (Btw I didn’t know about “methinks”. Learned a new word, thanks !)

    Why does everyone know this, but still think the definition of “metabolism” is solely built towards fake weight loss regiments? Bit of a tangent.
