No dress rehearsal today, it’s the stage manager’s nap time, go practice your lines for a few hours.

Bless you for sharing this.

Thought it was pretty funny when the name of the company was mentioned - I work for a company with almost the same name, just a letter off. That show struck a little close to home.

The problem is slowing it down to any speed that would end up with it dropping into the sun is going to take more effort and be more difficult than firing it out of the solar system. It isn’t practical.

True. I’d wager a decent chunk of that urban sprawl is due to our massive parking lots.

Us Americans can’t seem to get the hang of a simple roundabout, so we’ve got that super efficient stop-and-go traffic.

Right?! Don’t these people know there’s a finite amount of attention people have, and posting stuff that isn’t doom and gloom is just going to squeeze out the important stories that are now impossible to read and process?!

(/s for the oblivious)

The Queen and Snow might want to reconsider their foundation shade. Just sayin’…

Who doesn’t like a good gummie?

The bronzer has likely seeped in and turned all the organs a disgusting orangish-brown.

For what these doomsday prepers spend to compensate for their small manhood, they could easily pay for multiple sessions of therapy, even in the US.

Well, you’re going to have a bad time on the internet, where the vast majority of people aren’t interested in catering their speech to a general audience to your or anyone’s individual preferences. The “general audience” aspect of public forums on the internet is why I’m not directly addressing you - I, nor I doubt many others here, give two shits that using a bit of hyperbole or exaggeration, particularly when making a flippant comment about something as trivial as how old a meme is, gives @three@lemm.ee the ick.

At any rate, I can’t be bothered to take this thread as seriously as you, so I’m going to be disengaging now.

Building your qualifications to teach advanced courses in being blasé?

The main point they were making is that the meme is particularly old, pre-dating the modern Internet - the dominant medium of memes. As such, you could certainly say, perhaps somewhat hyperbolically, that it’s one of the first. Not sure why some people expect whatever another writes in an internet comment to be 100%, to-the-letter, literally true, when that’s not at all how we use language from day to day.

They didn’t say it was “the first.”

Ok…?

Sounds like a qualification for Cirque du Soleil.

I’m in my mid 30s and heard this rumor in middle school, it’s definitely old. At the time it was supposedly Marilyn Manson who did it.

Growing up in the south eastern US vending machines were a common sight in a number of public spaces, and they were completely fine. No idea what third-world parts of the country the rest of these people grew up in.

This may have changed since they seem to alter how these things work from time to time, but I’ve found that if you just keep getting one captcha after another, and you know you’re not making errors, try solving them slowly.
