It does kind of work though. It’s prefacing the meme by telling the reader to imagine that the text represents their point of view.

I’ve driven through Oregon before back when you weren’t allowed to pump your own gas and it felt ridiculous and inconvenient waiting for an employee to come pump gas for you. But maybe that’s just because I’m accustomed to self serve.
For groceries it’s nice to have the option to do self checkout. If I have a small number of items then self checkout is faster/easier. If I have a large number of items then going through the line with the cashier is faster/easier.

Do you feel the same about self serve gas?

There are anaerobic bacteria that don’t need oxygen to survive. That was the norm before The Great Oxidation Event when cyanobacteria started releasing oxygen during photosynthesis. Prior to that there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere, and anaerobic bacteria ruled the world.
After the GOE the high concentration of oxygen killed off most of the anaerobic bacteria, and what was left were organisms that made a blood truce with oxygen. Aerobic organisms gained incredible power from utilizing oxygen for metabolism, but in turn the oxygen kills them eventually.

I haven’t watched the video yet, but I thought this was widely known. You diet to lose weight and you exercise to gain muscle and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Phillips strips out way, way easier than Torx. Stripping generally happens when a screwdriver cams out, or pops out of the screw. Here are some excerpts from Wikipedia of Torx vs Phillips.
The hexalobular socket screw drive, often referred to by the original proprietary brand name Torx ( /ˈtɔːrks/) or by the alternative generic name star drive, uses a star-shaped recess in the fastener with six rounded points. It was designed to permit increased torque transfer from the driver to the bit compared to other drive systems. The drive was developed in 1967[44] by Camcar Textron.[45] Torx is very popular in the automotive and electronics industries because of resistance to cam out, and extended bit life, as well as reduced operator fatigue by minimizing the need to bear down on the drive tool to prevent cam out.
And Philips on the other hand:
The Phillips screwdriver design has a tendency to cam out during operation due to angled contact surfaces which create an axial force pushing the driver out of the recess as torque is applied. Despite popular belief,[2] there is no clear evidence that this was a deliberate design feature. When the original patent application was filed in 1933, the inventors described the key objectives as providing a screw head recess that (a) may be produced by a simple punching operation and which (b) is adapted for firm engagement with a driving tool with “no tendency of the driver to cam out”.

It’s not about being PC, it’s about how the word is used. There’s nothing wrong with the word as it’s defined, but when it becomes a common insult it becomes less acceptable.

This is funny, but flat earthers don’t believe in a heliocentric solar system, so it would be lost on them.

You can also clone it locally without a server. Depends on whether you want to archive the repo or just use the product.

According to Google a hot air balloon only costs $150-250. I’m not sure where you live, but in the US that seems completely reasonable to do for a unique experience from time to time.

He’s asking about a hot air balloon ride with a company. He’s not asking about owning a hot air balloon.
