☝️ this dude screws

How tf can hyperdrive exist but screws haven’t been invented lol

I think the real issue is that prop design has fallen so far from the ILM heyday. Now it’s best described as follows:

Pics or it didn’t happen

(lol just kidding. what you’re describing is almost as bad as unscrewing a security flathead screw. look it up. invented by Satan, with help from Brian Thompson)

Ngl if I didn’t have impact drivers I’d probably hate Phillips screws a whole lot more

Easiest, yes. And wheels are easier than repulserlifts. If sometime said “Ya know, greasing axels sucks balls. Let’s invent something better”, they probably developed something better than the shittiest screw head in the history of sentience.

But that’s just, like, my opinion man

You clearly haven’t had to screw a flathead screw.

Anyone that’s dicked around with those little bastards starts hating life after about thirty seconds. A fastener I can screw in a without having to be perfectly in line with the shaft? Yes please! I don’t care if it’s a shitty Phillips screw, sign me up. I’d even take those goofy square Canadian screws. Hell, anything is better than flathead.

I challenge you to find a screw worse to use than a flathead screw.

We had to give them one, otherwise they’d throw a fit

I’ll^seemyself^out

23 years ago I met a guy at work that was really cool. We became friends of a sort, in the way that a shy introvert considers friends. Every once in a while he’d invite me to hang out with his friends, which was always a good time. I’m not sure if he considered me a friend. I always felt like an outsider in those groups. But he was kind to me, and I love him. Eventually we both moved away from that area. I’m not good at keeping in touch, especially over long distances. For instance, my brother lives a couple of states away, I love him to death, and we talk maybe once a year.

So I’d call my friend every once in a while, and we’d catch up.

Eighteen years ago I lost my friend to depression. The details aren’t important. How he did it. Who found him. The 3 am phone call. But it was 18 years ago. It still hurts. You think you’ll always have someone, that they’re just a phone call away. That you’ll get to hear their weird take on that thing we’d always argue about. That you’ll get to hear his latest poem…

And you’ll always wonder if you could’ve done something to help them stay.

People don’t realize that they bring light to the world. That they’ll be missed. That there will be a hole in the world where they were. That they are loved more deeply and profoundly than they can know. The memory of them is a poor substitute for their presence.

Don’t go too soon. You will be missed.

Me still quoting Animaniacs

If the contact lens was the size of a city block, the wearer would be around 7-8 miles tall. And while that’s very large on a terrestrial scale, on the cosmic scale it’s infinitesimal. Since God is the creator of heaven and earth, and heaven includes all star bearing galaxies, the Creator must be greater than the created, which is around 93 billion light years across. Further, contact lenses are corrective, and God is without flaw, so this couldn’t be God’s contact lens. But it cannot be a terrestrial contact lens. So it must be celestial, but for something that needs correction. The only celestial beings that would have flaws are fallen celestials.

This is Satan’s contact lens. Satan is no more than 8 miles tall

You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You’ve probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90’s (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically “Hoe-down”. You just associate it with a particular food

Yo Squid, this is TIL, not No context comics

(Just kidding, keep posting you legend)

Imagine being an animated skeleton.

Imagine that skeleton has a thin layer of nerves over the bones. You know, for touching things

Imagine being allergic to gluten

Imagine your bones itching because your asshole roommate gave you glutenous snacks

That necromancer was a dick btw

‘Was there anything else on the dinner menu?’

‘Vole-au-vents and Cream of Rat,’ said Gimlet. ‘All hygienically prepared.’

‘How do you mean, “hygienically prepared”?’ said Carrot.

‘The chef is under strict orders to wash his hands afterwards.’

The assembled dwarfs nodded. This was certainly pretty hygienic. You didn’t want people going around with ratty hands.

• Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett

I just couldn’t get through it. But to each his own, I had a good friend who refused to read Pratchett’s Thief of Time because “books need chapters” lol

I have a friend that grew up reading the Wheel of Time series. He talked it up a lot. I got through the first two books and couldn’t keep going. He said, “It gets really good at the end of book three. Book four is amazing. Books five, six, and seven are only okay. There’s a couple more that are really good, but the last book falls flat.”

And I realized that’s probably how people that never watched Star Wars experience it after we recommend the movies to them. “This one specific movie is amazing, and those two are pretty okay. That one was good in its time and I like it for nostalgia. We didn’t talk about how the movie series ended. Want to watch the cartoons?”
