"Suckin' the poison out of America's wounds."
— Show tagline
Truthpoint: Darkweb Rising is an [adult swim] web series about "Embattled Influencer" dril, "Hacker Gig Economist" Derek Estevez-Olsen, and their mission to point you towards the truth. Naturally the show features very large amounts of Adult Swim's (and Dril's) trademark Surreal Humour.
The show is available for free on the Adult Swim YouTube channel, and the first episode can be watched here
.
This series has examples of:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Downplayed with Truthbot. While never hostile, their unreliability when it comes to responding to commands and the frustration this causes our hosts is a Running Gag throughout the show.
- Artistic License – Biology: In-universe. Dril has some interesting ideas about food. He claims that, among other things, that menstrual blood is a key to immortality, that anything you can eat without vomiting is good for you, that viruses are harmless because they're animals and thus edible, and that semen is edible in part because the slang term for it is "nut".
- Brain Uploading: Discussed by Derek, who advocates it as a method of avoiding becoming a "deathcuck".
- Big Eater: Dril advocates the "Ultimate Man" diet, where you eat anything that doesn't make you throw up.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Apparently Brain Uploading entails getting rid of one's memories, sense of smell, and the ability to feel horny.
- Driven to Suicide: Dril, upon having to look at an armor helmet like the one of the man he saw sleeping with his wife, pulls out a gun and points in his mouth, prompting a "technical difficulties" message as an assistant has to wrestle the gun away. He's fine immediately afterwards.
- In-Universe Factoid Failure: Dril thinks No Nut November refers to abstaining from eating semen.
- Take That!: Derek is one towards Silicon Valley tech junkies. He subsists on a diet consisting of amphetamines and soylent, sets up laughably transparent grifts, and apparently sees nothing wrong with killing your body to live as a 2GB program in cyberspace without memories or a sense of taste.
