I don’t have sources, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the OGs aged out or got caught, and the new gen that replaced them weren’t as ideologically driven or competent or something. I think they still technically exist but aren’t nearly as influential as they once were
What I didn’t see coming was mountain dew becoming the drink of the ppl
The ultimate incidental origin story
Face down, ass up. That’s the way I like my happy meal
Did it for 3 months once. That was hell
The order of my understanding was, “wtf are those, ah swollen testicles of course,” and finally, “oh, knees”
Haha yup, can confirm! It’s a commute, I used to ride a bike (half the time), but then the lady moved in and we switched to walking for no real reason. It’s about 3km each way but makes for a nice bookend to the workday :)
Haha there are a great many North Americans that live 10+ minutes minimum by car from the nearest grocery store.
I’m a walker (depressingly rare in North America) and my closest shop is about 6 minutes away. I’m considered insane for being willing to walk 40 mins to work
This seems likely to me. The goal is to get it in front of as many eyes as possible, and ppl looking for a quick dopamine hit aren’t typically pulling up videos over 5 mins long. Probably looks better in their stats when they charge absurd prices to advertisers too
You’re lying. I can’t imagine this so it must be false!
This was an excellent breakdown of the American elections system, thank you
AI seems to be tracking nicely.
Or so inept I’m utterly unconcerned, I can’t tell
There’s a subset of drinkers that would aspire to it though - some ppl’s passion is booze, and will spend the same price as a nice car on it and sip it over a decade. Whether or not it’s sane is up to you though lol
I’ve been lucky enough to try some, truly a flavour worth experiencing at least once if you can and like cognac. I still babble about it happily to strangers all the time…
Oh for sure, just a PSA - once I found out there were cards I wanted some, then found out I couldn’t have them lol
Damn, can’t buy this pack of cards outside the USA
They should have an ad campaign, good opportunity to sell some merch
If I don’t appear perfect, I’m not humaaaan!!!
Interestingly, this is a reflection of a natural human phenomen. Evolution taught us to be wary of negative events (being dead is a bad look), and to remember them so they’re less likely to get us. As a result, we bias towards negative information because it keeps us alive.
Positive events don’t convey much more value than our base drives can figure out (e.g., this food good, can be eaten). So they aren’t remembered without effort, and ppl prefer to share info on things that will keep us alive as opposed to things that make life a little more pleasant. It’s a shitty system for modern life, but it worked to get us here lol
