I know its from the Big Bang Theory and its used in context with capitalist techbros, but what is is definition? (Edit)
someone who worships the capitalist techbros is my understanding. a bazinga brain probably loves tesla and the thinks the single lane death tunnel is brilliant.
Ok… I think, by the humorous way you phrase, I feel we should put them in the single lane death tunnels
People obsessed with entrepreneurial great men, obsessive fears over “our glorious technological advancements” vs “their dangerous inhuman experiments”, fetishising technological superiority in stuff like warfare etc.
Pro-capitalist simps with tech chauvinistic tendencies…?

In the show it was basically a tagline for the most
character, used especially when he was being the most sort of like ‘gottem’ but more dorkyas others are saying, it has come to mean a mix of stemlord thinking and treat worship, so like folks that bootlick
because “he’s saving humanity from a dying planet” type thinkingIt’s like the futurist movement in post-WW1 Italy that later got absorbed by fascism, but instead of airplanes they worship Elon Musk.
I’m actually wondering, Did the futurist movement have any inherent tendencies that led it to fascism?
Yes, since its aesthetics and idealism over material reality and conditions, sort of like religious cults.
I’m actually wondering, Did the futurist movement have any inherent tendencies that led it to fascism?
Yes. In Italian Futurism’s own manifesto it spoke of burning down libraries, abolishing compassion and tenderness in all its forms, and destroying anything feminine in society in favor of phallic masculine imagery of rockets and cars everywhere. It was like a practice run for the kind of shit
preached generations later.If what you’re telling me is right, this techbro wet dream of a manifesto feels as ridiculous as Ted Unabomber telling us about the inferiority complex of the Left…

Tf is that?
a meme from our recently forgotten past
I, a uniquely gifted westerner has invented a totally new and better, improved, more efficient version of existing tech.
No, thats been tried you are just complicating a working system, making it shittier, and selling a bullshit grifter solution. Or just doing it for hype and clout. Failing upward by being a yes-man for legacy tech capital. No its better now. Bazinga!Its when westoids act like they are inventing a new thing, or improving upon something, but its really just more enshitification, repackaging fragments of existing tech. Or worse; a more polluting, wasteful or dangerous “invention” that is popular purely for the ideology and decorum. Particularly of US west coast tech-company devotees. Absolutely convincing themselves that they’ll eventually build a eco zero-carbon version of todays infrastructure but will do so by mining more rare minerals and consuming more oil to get to that speculative destination. Bazinga.
Me too
I like your definition the most.
Bazinga is the common name for a man-portable recoilless anti-tank rocket launcher weapon, widely deployed by the United States Army, especially during World War II.1
I use it to describe a specific kind of futurist tech bro who think great men like Elon will save us all with their infinite genius. Bootlickers who believe we should relinquish all our possessions for the effective altruists because they’re just better than us and can use their wealth more effectively.
