There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

The comments about planting ideas in someone's mind are correct to the plot of the movie, but most of the time I have seen Inception referenced in popular culture it has been to simply say "something inside of that same thing". It's like the Xhibit (no idea how the rapper actually spells his name, but I think that's right) meme: "Yo dawg, I heard you like _____ so I put _____ in your _____ so you can _____ while you _____."
This is because in the movie, they travel into dreams within dreams.
For you or anyone that's curious, it's Xzibit (a bit more phonetic than your guess which was probably close enough that anyone who knows, knows who/what you meant)
I think you’ve got it. The “Inception” in the title is the idea-implanted but the major plot device is a dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream…
Yep, it refers (loosely) to a fractal.
