Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

"15 Minutes of Fame"

Andy Warhol once said, everyone will eventually get their "15 Minutes of Fame".

Still waiting for mine …

Everyone might get their 15 minutes of fame, but it may not be for a good reason. Try not to be a murderer or an Elon Musk.

You might just be the person that the news videos falling over in the wind to demonstrate how windy it is today. Still counts.

Given the current ease for anyone to post YouTube or social media content these days, and gaining attention, the quote, originally from around the 1970’s, was quite forward looking to how things have now become.
