I recognize these tropes except top right, who is he?

Bacon, Lettuce, Mayo

To prove our superiority in grace over sea lions, who also can clap, but not as gracefully

That would be an awesome name for a magazine and I might even buy it. At least the content would match the title. If the info inside was in a similar style it might even become interesting to read, who knows.

Thanks for the explanation. It’s just infuriating

Am I understanding you correctly? There is a standard somewhere that says you can’t have tires of a certain width on a car unless the car is also broad?

Why is that even a requirement? I thought broad tires were safer, why would the width of the car have anything to do with it?

This took me longer to understand than I’d like to admit

I hate this about newer car models. Many are unnecessarily wide. Lanes don’t get wider though.

I think this depends a lot on the grandparents personality and mental state. If I had to do this with mine, I would pick places they have a personal connection to. For example, where they were born, the place their school is or used to be, somewhere memorable they visited during their honeymoon, you get the idea. Seeing stuff like that evolve through time is more interesting imo than just visiting, say, Paris or Tokyo virtually.

It could have been much worse. He (and the house) could have been eaten, eaten by an entity made of… something unfathomable

I think he’s got plenty of boards already, he’s a bit of a hardware scavenger, but thanks for the suggestion anyway

This and the other comment suggesting snacks gives me the idea of maybe imported snacks, that would be a novelty for sure

His opinion is that they’re cool but in reality he’s too smart for them. I’ve gifted him stuff like that in the past and he solved them in seconds. I’ve also seen him crack gizmo puzzles in other people’s homes to the astonishment of the owner.

I could look into those “guide the ball in a maze” type, which require motor skills and not just thinking. I was hoping to find something funny though, but no luck so far.

This is true, I can gift a bottle of wine if all else fails

“you’ll shit bricks when you see it”. Guess he saw it, whatever that was

Yeah it’s not impressive but I think it’s stylized and it’s decent enough CG to get a pass. Pinocchio otoh, released not that long ago, that was difficult to look at.

Maybe he overspent in quality gear thinking he would be caught immediately

I’ve read some really good answers, but imo there isn’t a worst type. This will vary from person to person, some people don’t get buried under the whatever they buy and others do, regardless of what their interests are.

I guess it’s about the health insurance company CEO that got shot and has Americans talking about nothing else online
