Wipe your backlog. If you're in a position to find something new (browsing /a/, watching youtube, lurking databases, etc.) you're in a position to start that series immediately.
>>288579789 Honestly this is something people forget. It's not just an anniversary, it's a celebration of being born into this world. I'll try to remember it next time.
>>288581815 that's actually incorrect Oberstein isn't doing the "commoners common food shit", he is saying that dogs eat dog food, pigs eat pig food etc etc
>>288579338 The denial of objective truth is a core component of deconstructionism, which in turn spawned postmodernism which is the centerpiece of contemporary culture. Like the other tenets of cultural Marxism, the denial of objective truth is a weapon by which to gain influence and power. A society must have some way of making decisions about what is real and true. When society abandons objective truth as its standard, it is left only with "the consensus" to determine what is true. Consensus is something that can be formed and shaped by experts controlling the narrative. Reality is replaced by wikiality, and those who control the wiki (the narrative, the consensus), control the truth.
Ultimately, deconstructionism is based on Saussurean linguistics, which purports to establish the meaning of words according to their relationship with other words, therefore establishing reality as a closed system where things always refer to other things and can never be true in an objective sense, only as interpretation. This inaugurated the era of critical theory, feminism, civil rights, etc.
K-ON! represents the closing of this era. When Yui says "Fun things are fun," she is saying that objective, non-referential truth exists, that fun things are fun because they are fun, and when you see K-ON!, you see that she speaks the truth—that, truly, fun things are fun. At this moment, the entire pillar of cultural Marxism, the entire work of the Frankfurt School, collapses like a house of cards.
Part of what makes something "fun" is that it engages us in a way that feels rewarding, surprising, challenging, relaxing, social, or just enjoyable for its own sake. What's fun varies a lot from person to person:
Some people enjoy games and puzzles. Some enjoy sports or exercise. Some enjoy making art, music, or stories. Some enjoy learning strange facts. Some enjoy spending time with friends. Some enjoy doing absolutely nothing for a while.
"Fun things are fun" sounds almost circular, but it points to something real: we often recognize fun more by the experience than by a strict definition.

>>288581815 The non shitpost answer is that 'dogs eat dog food' is a statement about people not being able to act out of accordance with their nature. Sluts slut. Retards retard. Dogs eat dog food.
>>288589309 I don't think it's about "nature" so much as saying it's right that dogs eat dog food and not food that a human would eat, because they're lower than humans are. It's an affirmation of classism
