It happened during the 08 writers strike. Reality Tv is cheap to produce and requires minimal writing.
- Comment on but idk tho 1 year ago:
Theoretically, you could also tack it on at the beginning.
Or you could also, theoretically, tack it on in the middle of a sentence.

Anyone else remember that long winded story about the Schitt family?
- Comment on Lemmy feels so much more welcoming than R*ddit... And it's weird 1 year ago:
It was a typo lmao. I meant “stories”.
Idk how long you were on there, but I was there for about 13yrs. and the “inside jokes” can be a little overwhelming at times. The Jesus Ads were the “He Gets Us” ads everywhere, if you never saw one then you must have used a client that didn’t have ads like Apollo, or paid for no ads through other clients.
As for the stories I’m talking if about, they all happened over a decade ago. You’d have to specifically search for them nowadays because like I said, they never get mentioned in those “Reddit history” askreddit threads anymore. All the stories mentioned nowadays have happened in the last couple years. IIRC, even poop knife is only like 6 or 7 years old.
Also I’m calling them stories because idk what else to call them. Some are threads, others are comments.
Oh shit, Streetlamp leMoose was another one I forgot about. Damn, there were so many greats that have been lost to time. The Search and Rescue series on no sleep. Talking about it is bringing up more and more memories.

The better so tired from Reddit. Everyone knows the most recent Reddit trend and the askreddits are filled with them. But the best stories are the ones from 10+ years ago.
Spanish Reddit is another classic that never gets mentioned. There’s a slew of them if you look at the old “What’s something people on Reddit should know about Reddit” askreddits.

I hate that the good ones were forgotten. Ask a pedo, geraffe, grilled cheese vs melt. The guy who cut off and ate his dick.

Por que no los dos?

Ah okay, it’s on my watchlist.

Is this real?
- Comment on higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs 1 year ago:
I think you misunderstood. In some states, you will be paid below minimum wage if you make enough in tips. IIRC there was a story a number of years ago about servers in Tennessee (?) only making $2.15/hr. It was legal because they made enough in tips to cover the other $5.10/hr that the restaurant is supposed to pay. So instead of the tips being extra cash on top of pay, the restaurants were literally having the customers subsidize the majority of their pay.
- Comment on I just deleted my reddit account, and it's long overdue. 1 year ago:
If an instance decides to show ads, I’ll just block that instance. If it’s mine, I’ll move to a different instance. If the Lemmy devs decide to add ads, I’ll just switch to kbin. I highly doubt most instances will adopt ads though.
- Comment on Push For A 4-Day Work Week Picks Up Steam — And Critics 1 year ago:
Wouldn’t that be because the members voted for more hours?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
My mom was one. Didn’t realize until I was older, and long after she died. But yeah, she only voted Republican because she was anti abortion. She had an abortion and suffered from unintended side effects and didn’t want other women to experience the same. I get where she was coming from, but she definitely had the wrong idea with banning abortion.
Oddly enough, it was a comment on Reddit that opened my eyes to everything. Something along the lines of “Dems don’t want women to have abortions. But we’d like the choice if need be.”

Eventually it’ll be third parties all the way down.

They have a website!

I wish r/askhistorians mods would come here. This is a great question for them, if you’re looking for in depth and cited replies.
- Comment on My mum had her finger on the lens for all summit photos she took of me. 1 year ago:
Do it!!! I had 1 recording of my moms voice on her iPhone. Then someone stole the phone. I wish so badly that I could hear her voice, it’s been 10yrs and I’ve forgotten what she sounded like.

Wait so people are vegan because they “understand slavery”? What does slavery have to do with veganism?
- Comment on FOUR whole parking spots 1 year ago:
Yeah, not standard. And I guess if they’re that common where you are then check the wear of the liner. Like another commenter said, they get fucked up pretty quickly. It’s easy to tell if a truck is vanity or not just by looking at the bed. I’ve called people out for driving them. It’s especially humiliating for the guys because I’m a woman.
I also appreciate that you’re confident in your assessment without actually talking to any of those people. Assuming just makes an ass out of u and me.
- Comment on FOUR whole parking spots 1 year ago:
No, they own the truck for work.
- Comment on FOUR whole parking spots 1 year ago:
Just check the bed. If there’s a liner, chances are the truck is needed. If it’s clean, it’s a vanity truck.
I own a 350 and am very aware of just how big this truck is. But I do need the pulling power for work related things. I’ve also used it to help people that have broken down.
- Comment on Marvel Studios' The Marvels | Official Trailer 1 year ago:
Formulating the shows to 6 episodes really ruined it.

They did kill off Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow though. Also, wasn’t it known beforehand that it was a 2 parter?
