Ive Mentally Been Running With Option 2 For Years. Irken Empire Could Mean A Lot Of Things Bereft Of
I’ve mentally been running with option 2 for years. “Irken Empire” could mean a lot of things bereft of context. We never call our civilizations stuff like the Human Empire. Look out, here comes the homosapien army! He can know the word Irken before Zim arrives but wouldn’t know for sure if that’s like, a nationality, an ethnic identity, or even some multi-species alliance of dominant factions.
That said, option 3 is really, really funny to picture. Six months of this poor boy anxiously lying awake at night just wondering what do the curly fries mean. Are they a code for something else? are they like Earth curly fries, and why? And how? Was it a taunt? Do they want our fries? Do they want to make us into curly fries?
A fun little question for the IZ Fandom!
So if Dib was listening in on the Great Assigning transmission back in ‘the Nightmare Begins’

How comes he doesn’t seem to retain any of the information he might’ve learned from it?
Such as the existence of the Height-Based Caste System, which surprised him in ‘Tak: the Hideous New Girl’

The name of the Irken Empire itself, which he explicitly didn’t know in ‘The Wettening’

And one of the recordings shown in ‘A Room With a Moose’

(We never explicitly see him learn about Irk but he does mention it by name later on. I assume he learned the name from ‘Bloaty’s Pizza Hog’.

)
And, you know, the fact that Zim’s ‘Mission’ is bogus, which he never actually learns about. (Unless he was paying very close attention to the Implications in ‘Enter the Florpus’ - and honestly, he kinda had a Lot on his mind so I won’t be surprised if he missed that)
So, pick your favorite answer!
Aliens in the IZ Universe don’t actually speak English. Dib picked up a transmission of incomprehensible alien chatter and only assumed it means ‘they’re coming!’
Dib only picked up the last few lines of the transmission (“the universe will be ours for the taking!” and onwards) so while he might’ve been aware of the Irken Empire as a force with aspirations of conquest (“It’s only a matter of time until all the races in the universe serve the Irken Empire!”) he didn’t know for sure at first if he can link it to the alien who came to earth six months later.
Dib only picked up the very last line of the Great Assinging Transmission (“I’ll have them serve me curly fries”) and drew a lot of Accidentally Correct Conclusions from it.
Dib didn’t hear anything. The transition between the Great Assigning and Dib’s introduction doesn’t necessarily mean he was listening in on that. He was probably just listening to random Space Noises and assumed it is a broadcast from some conquest-hungry alien. This probably a regular occurrence for him and it’s just that today it was happening coincidently around the time an actual boardcast from conquest-hungry aliens was happening somewhere too far away for his equipment to reach.
The transmission was not perfect and Dib ended up missing a few key words like ‘Irken’ and ‘Tallest’ and then also he just happened to take a very long bathroom break just as Zim showed up.
Dib just… forgot some of the details of the broadcast. There’s like a six-months-gap between him hearing it and Zim actually arriving on Earth and he just forgot some of the broadcast. Six months is a long time, cut him some slack okay????

Dildo Generator
Online 3D experiment by Ikaros Kappler which is described as a “Extrusion/Revolution Generator” ….
Created with three.js, you can alter the bezier curves and angle of the form, and is designed with 3D printing in mind (models can be exported and saved, as well as calculated weight in silicone).
Try it out for yourself (if you wish) here
Okay but, wtf is this little monster's kill count?

People are afraid of her for a reason, you can not convince me that her fiends haven't killed anyone. If they just sorta scared people, they'd discover the creatures weren't violent and they'd fight back. These things have definitely killed people! Marion literally has no parents, they must have gone somewhere. I'm very intrigued, I need to know. How many people has she "destroyed"?!
For those confused in the notes, this is legit!

Around 2:20 p.m. ET, by the way. Just a test they do every few years but I’m sure some of you will appreciate the heads up.

Oh to be a confused stranger who gets randomly approached by Zim looking for somewhere to vent about whatever’s pissing him off that particular day
