That kid who asked about radios should be given a scholarship to a STEM degree. Also the kids who asked about using smoke signals and pigeons have mad creativity. The stock kid? Well he probably has more financial accumen than most Wallstreet punks.
The kid with the replacement dilemma? Forget philosophy. That is lawyer material right there.
I have always been a Toyota guy, and recently driving a Toyota corolla hybrid made me want that car.
For someone who claims to be an old school masculine individual he is an incredibly insecure whore.
He is the captain scuttling his own ship…
More like setting off explosive charges willy nilly.
Damn straight.
Neutronium… I am having early 2000s trivia website flashbacks! Wasn’t a teaspoon of that stuff several tons or something?
Yeah I remember those. Where I grew up that style of ring pull was the dominant style.
One reason why that style was retired in many places was to reduce waste. When you had a ring pull tab that peeled off, most people threw that away separately. I remember seeing those tabs being thrown all over the place.
This reminds me of soda/beer can designs. You know the hole in the ring tab? I used to believe it was there only for it to provide better grip for your finger when opening it. Turned out it was also there so you can fit a straw and have a way of stabilizing it.
Most people had no idea about that.
Sometimes we might never really know. It is part of the mystery. Can you imagine if you had dinosaurs that had trunks like elephants?
Best Machina ex deus ever! (then)
Ironically jokes about the internet raising children is very old. There was a comic strip in Mad Magazine from the late 90s that had a boy go ask his mom ‘mom, if God made everything, who made God?’ She replies to go ask his dad, and when he does his dad replies, ’ go ask the internet!’
It is still funny, but given the incredible amount of disinformation out there it just is a really bad idea.
I remember in the first few years after 9/11 when you had Islamophobes talking about Islamic radicalism and comparing western culture to Islamic culture in what was, retrospectively, the most arrogant and extremely naieve view imaginable. Basically envisioning the entirety of the west in the late 90s and early 2000s as the west always being like that and the then status quo was done via some philosophical debate and innate characteristics instead of whatever was politically and economically convenient at the time.
I wonder where those people are today? Seeing just how legit fragile their whole order really was and how quickly it is unraveling.
Best deus ex machina ever!
Fuck me the baboon image was serious nightmare fuel.
Can you imagine if we somehow were able to get 100% accurate images of dinosaurs (with the feathers… they were birds, not reptiles, and warm blooded, too) and the T-rex chirped and kinda looked like a giant chicken?
I grew up in Dubai and most of my teachers were women. None of the boys ever gave any lip on account of their sex. If they did, the teacher wouldn’t need to discipline them… we would.
That is the most single pointless genocide ever committed then. The nazis and zionist want(ed) to kill everyone because they want the land… but Trump and Americans gain absolutely nothing by killing these people. If anything they lose a lot since the overwhelming majority of these people were vital workers.
Always announced never implemented.
Trump is like an idiot bully who insists he commands ten big thugs! No twenty! No thirty and with guns! No thirty with guns and grenades and a tank!
They mean nothing.
But they are providing ample opportunity for places like China to show that they DO have real power.
People act like this is the way to deal with crime since crime did drop. Only problem is that the gang violence in El Salvador was highly disorganized. They did try to do shit like this in Mexico but it failed. So it isn’t a ‘solution’ that can be exported.
Holy shit! Any idea that the Republicans are anything other than insane bootlickers to even more insane people is insane!
