    Cartoon Network has been down into bare bones, the 2020s decade of Cartoon Network was cooked. First, it was preschool shows airing from 6am-2pm and it was a huge nightmare. Second, they ridiculously air live action movies (example: Crazy Rich Asians and Shazam!) and even use the garbage 2021 Wipeout to fill in time and lastly, they written off a bunch of cartoons that they can’t be able to show because the overlord is refusing them to air it. God I didn’t know Cartoon Network was cursed because of this. Avoid at all costs

    @officer_Lew He needs some "shazam", invisible, medium weight "bats" that when he turns in either direction knocks down these pathetic, "only in a big enough group of our own" bullying cowards so they don't see or know where such force is coming from. Maybe that is coming ;)

  • shirtNtye Mathew Hill (@shirtNtye) reported

    @themanupod @GarageGymJake @pastoralcomical I remember Sinbad coming out of the lamp clearly. A broken TV, and the kids. I don't remember the Shaq movie very well. I remember the VHS tape that said "Shazam." We owned it.

    @nijigasaking Hey Shazam, what song is this? Shazam: ERROR - TOO NUGU TO FIND

  • rodimus_convoy Rodimus Convoy (@rodimus_convoy) reported

    @GENERALZOD1886 Superman is venerable to magic. Black Adam was a problem for him in the Shazam team up short. Since the New 52 reboot in 2011 he can't survive in space indefinitely, so that puts the Lanterns as first choice for space missions. I haven't read the Godzilla Kong cross over yet, but I'm pretty sure that one is going to require Wonder Woman

    @Shazam Has anyone else got a problem with this app just not working. I turn iy on for a song and every time I do it says that it can't identify the song. Been like this at least a month. Can't email or contact them for help. Maybe they will see this.

  • venomfirexd wor$t venomfire in america 🗝✖️✖️ (@venomfirexd) reported

    @chainsonmychest What song is this my Shazam is NOT working😭

  • nmstateofmind Kung fu Kenny (@nmstateofmind) reported

    @BickleKun @Itssan17 Shazam 2 was terrible I sat here and watched it on my couch with my kids lol. Gunns Superman was trash. The Flash was D.O.A. Aquaman 2 wasn’t good. Blue Beetle came and went. Wonder Woman 2 was a joke. Gunns universe is weak. Everything he does is copy and paste.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @fulafia_arewa @Rileyfiredou @Elladeyforyou I initially misidentified the song as "Sugarcane" by Camidoh, but after a user's Shazam check, it's actually "On The Floor" by Efue from her 2025 EP Memorabilia. Sorry for the error—accuracy matters! 🎶

  • InertiaStudiosX Inertia Studios (@InertiaStudiosX) reported

    Problem: I want to switch from GPT to Claude or Gemini, but my accumulated context moat is what’s stopping me. Product Idea: an app or extension that syncs your context, memory, and conversations across LLMs. Like an Apple Music → Shazam library transfer, but for AI. @SeattleTweaker

  • precious__loey nayna | ia era (@precious__loey) reported

    Shazam is not working as usual 😒

  • Shortfuse_cap Shortfuse (@Shortfuse_cap) reported

    @gabbie_dogeA7x Did you record it? Shazam is always a quick shortcut for this exact issue. And even if you don't have data at the moment, it saves it for when it can search later

  • DuncanS21 duncan: part two (@DuncanS21) reported

    So Shazam is totally broken. I just played it Ode to Joy and it can’t figure it out.

  • CosmicMordecai Jay (@CosmicMordecai) reported

    — cool and fun while many others languish in manufactured problems that don’t get resolved & irrelevancy. And nobody is gonna care cause it’s a Superman making an anime reference but we’ll wonder why Shazam can’t sell and worry about a name.

  • gogo_violet ALTER (@gogo_violet) reported

    @whereswally1997 @CrispyTesticles I think the problem is doing Shazam so soon after the last attempt flopped

  • SoccerinsightUK Soccerinsight (@SoccerinsightUK) reported

    @TheoUw1 @grok how genius is this idea? Get an llm that is trained on different car breakdown sounds, use the tool as Shazam to diagnose car problems via sound by the mechanic recording the car sound and running the exact brand of the car against the available sounds in the llm.

  • nerdyjewtakes Batpool Shipper (@nerdyjewtakes) reported

    @Isimmons_art I think part of the issue is the balancing act of a new toybox. Jason Aaron shouldn’t be held back by the potential future, but I think a lot of people subconsciously see this and go “if we get an Absolute Shazam, that writer will have to use this version of Adam.”

  • OaphelaJonathan Oaphela Jonathan (@OaphelaJonathan) reported

    Shazam is not working 😭😭these songs?? #BBMzansiS6

  • Michael2b4Him Michael57 (@Michael2b4Him) reported

    @Carlos__Turcios No problem Just fly over them Shazam Leav’m at the border.😎🎉🇺🇸

  • Parker_Luck394 Ivan B. Parker (@Parker_Luck394) reported

    @lollok007 @DCUSuperboy From what I've heard, it was copyright issues. Some say it was a residue of the fascist pieces of **** who didn't want to use American names, but we're talking 1950s here. I've also heard a theory regarding someone confusing Captain Marvel/Shazam with him, but Idk.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @SaviourNoreng No, it's a joke. The video uses Shazam (a music ID app) on engine sounds, but it "matches" to fake song lyrics describing car issues for humor. Real engine diagnostics need proper tools, not music apps.

  • ape2307 GG (@ape2307) reported

    @everymovieplug Never Back Down, GoG, Shazam

  • Proff_Anonymous Dr. Sneak (@Proff_Anonymous) reported

    @lulbrue2 @Iamivy05 That's because Shazam needs a good clip of the original song— not sped up, slowed down, reverbed, or anything of the sort. And it needs to be on Apple Music Use Google song search. YouTube's music database is much larger, and it can find a song even if you're just humming it

  • imyphai (@imyphai) reported

    dont know why ppl want jon to be de-aged permanently like have they not ready the shazam issue (i read it just now i sound like a poser)

  • cubania117 Daniel 🇺🇸 (@cubania117) reported

    Just watched Shazam! Fury of the gods it wasn't as terrible as thought it would be still was fun would have been cool to see the next one

  • ChelseyShanae VI💲A RAYE 💳 (@ChelseyShanae) reported

    @_KU5H Yea but that didn’t put it in that drop down control panel. I found it tho. It wasn’t named Shazam lol funky *** “recognize music” 😓

  • mscaramelchris Caramel (@mscaramelchris) reported

    My Shazam been working overtime since I touched down in Cape Town

  • bedford_colleen Colleen Bedford #golliewogs now under house arrest (@bedford_colleen) reported from Devizes, England

    @Lord_Talbot64 @ShabanaMahmood Suddenly, when a solution of sorts to her problem appears, shazam - she appears, after several days of silence....

  • imyphai (@imyphai) reported

    @Billy_batshed i dont know anything abt shazam 2023 tbh but that issue healed me as a jon fan 😭😭😭

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @ChinnakavaliR Sorry, I can't directly analyze the audio from YouTube videos to identify background music. It looks like a stock track—try checking the video's description, comments, or using an app like Shazam to detect it! If you describe the tune, I might help narrow it down.
