One of my most concrete examples of age changing my tastes is watching MWC as an adult in my 30's vs. a teen when it originally aired. I crushed on Kelly when i was like 15-16, and found Peg gross, but now its like: Al, dude your wife is hot and horny, wtf wrong with you? gently caress your poor horny wife.

I think we should just give up on the things. They only work better if people know how to use them right, and it's clear they don't/won't, especially those drat two+ lane ones. I have one of those on my last turn to work and it always feels like i'm rolling the dice on people knowing "yield" doesn't mean "plow into the nearest car".

Never. Ever. Give. Up.

I grew up with them in my area and have seen plenty out and about the US. They work. Even the 2 lane + ones. Boomers will be losing their licenses soon anyway.

in multiple centuries, not for. US uses metric too, btw. All the old "standard" measurements are defined in terms of SI. Also, Celsius is bullshit and you can gently caress off with temperature smugness unless you use Kelvin for everything.

It’s insane to me that you could look at a temperature scale positioned around the temperatures water boils and freezes at and go ‘THIS IS BULLSHIT’ like what is the F scale actually even meant to represent? I’m genuinely curious bc I didn’t grow up with it so maybe there’s a reason why it’s so fuckin weird and arbitrary, or rather why it isn’t

Well you see, some jackass stuck a mercury tube in his assistants mouth, made a few marks on the tube based on how far the mercury moved, and backfilled from there and said "that's good enough."

40 degrees Fahrenheit isn't spooky Kubrick cold, that's not even freezing.

-40 is where they meet up, now THAT'S a mindfuck.

he set 0 as the coldest thing he could measure (a mixture of salt and ice). water freezes at 32 and boils at 212, so despite the apparently arbitrary numbers, there are 180 degrees in between. 100 is human body temperature, except that he hosed up and it's actually 98.6. it's a human-based scale, like a lot of the standard/imperial/American units.

plus that stuff about 69 and 420.

It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

Speed Grapher theme was Duran Duran in the Japanese version, and I feel like I saw an English dub that used J Geils Band but I cant find any reference to this now. Maybe a different timeline?

Either way, that’s not too bad, as far as anime music is concerned.

fahrenheit is basically a scale for humans where 0 is pretty dang cold and 100 is pretty dang hot how loving hard is that to understand

I think we need to change the coldness scale, like

It's "cool" if you can walk around comfortably in a sweater of any thickness. (Sorry, I think that's "jumper" in metric.)

It's "chilly" if it's only cold enough for your mom to make you wear a jacket, or if you are a grandma in a restaurant.

It's "cold" if the dumbest guy in your school is walking around in shorts and flip-flops loudly yelling YEAH BRUH I DON'T REALLY FEEL THE COLD HUH HUH HUH. This is also how you know if snow is on the ground.

Like, let's be empirical about this.
