  I doubt this data is actually available, right?

    Oh crap. You are right. Now I feel angry if this is fake data.

      I also STRONGLY doubt over 200.000 Jenga sets are sold yearly in the US.

  I’m tired, so I hope that’s why I don’t get it.

  Anyone willing to explain this one? I’m pretty sure I’ll face palm myself, but it just isn’t clicking on my own lol

    Jenga was taboo after 9/11. Sociology!

    …𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
    I’m wasting my time, I got nothing to do
    I’m hanging around, I’m waiting for you
    But nothing ever happens, and I wonder 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮

  9/11 was the 9/11 of the Jenga business

  source

  • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    9/11 was the 9/11 of 9/11s

    • somethingp@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

  I still haven’t been able to play Plague Inc after COVID.

    Plague Inc was one of the things that kept me sane during lockdown.

  Now I wonder how this graph would look like Stephen Kings “The Stand” during the pandemic.

  Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not not?

  • m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It seems like people did. ‘The Plague’ and Contagion did very well.

    • WolfLink@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol
