  In my day it was onions. We wore them on our belts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only a San Franciscan (or a sitcom writer) would adopt a lawnmower pun based pseudonym.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Face it, all power is water, all stories are Hamlet, all food is grass, and all music is Pachelbel’s Canon. Reality’s budget is running out and it’s having to reuse assets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sup⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ronon Dex went full local after Atlantis splashed down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t you lie to me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d probably listen to Admiral Ackbar, and walk on by.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CMV⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Romesh Ranganathan on Taskmaster described it (positively) as “giving Robocop a blowie.” I think the companies making them should jump on that marketing phrase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do, and I already have the referral…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone confirm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They are all the omni-Springfield. Shelbyville differs by state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Redundant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a 2nd thing in that cart, totally justified. There’s no way he could carry that small flat object (that sort of looks like a plastic wrapped magazine to me…) while also pushing a hand truck around, come on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've been awake for 24 hours.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Day 4 is when it gets weird. Especially if you spent the night before watching hours of Gilligan’s island with late night TV commercials

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first 14 billion or so years of not existing was pretty great, I’m sure the next 14 trillion will be too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey Everybody It's Big Money Dog!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, he told me he’s me and to not worry about it. Why wouldn’t I trust myself?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can't argue with his logic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From a religion maintenance POV it makes total sense. From a “god is omniscient and infallible” standpoint, it makes my head hurt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can't argue with his logic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mathew 18:18 is circuit breaker for those situations: whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven

  AKA when in doubt, god defers to the Pope for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the best things on 80’s TV.

  I don’t know if today’s stuff holds water, by comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Gen Z won't understand this but back in my day, if you ever saw as many ads as you do on social media today, it meant you had at least 3 viruses on your computer"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a kid it as <10 minutes of ads per hour on TV and (I think) 12 minutes per hour on radio, roadside billboards were illegal in my county, and the local newspaper ads were mostly relegated to the back page and sunday inserts.

  There were also no blatant ads pre-roll at movie theaters and productions got bad press for having product placement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lies from the Bossman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But “Contain best meat in the world”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dare to dream⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometime between November 5th 2024 and Jan 20th 2025 I decided I had better replace my ailing laptop before something drove prices up. I was debating between the 32G of RAM I needed and the 64G I wanted. I am really glad I splurged back then. The way costs have gone between tariffs and AI’s demand for braaainz (plus the fact that vibe coders don’t make any account for efficiency or specs) it feels like I practically got it for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This one has pom poms!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wondered what the fall of the western roman empire was like, and now I get to live it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was starting to run low on the essentials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lagavulin, Balvenie, Fireball

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma Needs Rest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now when your ISP is a jerky company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨they're havin a laugh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In one of the podcasts Alex said they had been trying to get him in (and he wanted to do it) since the early seasons, but it just never worked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨they're havin a laugh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did folks see that Ayoade is on the next series of Taskmaster?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Actual metric time was a fiasco I’ve always been fascinated by

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just better⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If we’re really committed to not going by solar time, everything should be UTC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Connections is one of my all time favorite shows. I missed that there was a 4th series released. Four series in 47 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why have we as a society just accepted the increasingly blinding bright lights of cars?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Conservative governments have spent 3 generations, the world over, convincing everyone that deregulation is always a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The American Dream (terms and conditions apply)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been thinking about putting a nice poster or painting on my ceiling, so when I die at my desk if I happen to slump backward at least a nice poster will be the last thing I see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lefty tax⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pssh! Lefties always getting special treatment and righties always getting a handout, while us middles always miss out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing to see here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of monster doesn’t wear black shorts and a tuxedo tee to a wedding?
