Thank you for posting the truth. It really hurts the heart to see all this disinformation being thrown around.

Except there’s only one turtle. I was assured “it’s turtles all the way down.”

Well akshully…

(Link is to a PBS Storied video exploring the origins and evolution of the phrase)

Obligatory “everyone should read Discworld” recommendation 🙃

The fact that this is a sea turtle and not like a Galapagos tortoise bothers me.

Why would it be a tortoise? What’s it going to walk on, no no no, it can only be a sea turtle, swimming in the great nothingness of the universe. None of that turtles all the way down bullshit.

The opening credits of this will help you visualize it. It’s a Terry Pratchett’s Discworld reference.

holy cow I never knew that existed. I gave the first 5 minutes a watch and its wild how they tried to turn snarky novels dripping with thinly veiled social commentary into a children’s television special

Edit: ended up watching the whole thing. I’m not sure who the target audience was, but I certainly enjoyed it, 90s budget animated film warts and all
