I remember the day we got cable. I got home from school and went to watch transformers but couldn't because there local channel wasn't the same channel on the cable box as it was on air, so basically I lost an episode of that and I think gi joe because I had no idea how to work the remote. Mom made me cinnamon rolls though so it wasn't all bad. The worst day was when we changed our phone number by a digit. loving had to do it the day I needed to call home for something (a pencil or some school supply poo poo), next thing I know I'm in second grade having a freakout because I'm positive my parents left me at school for them to raise and drove off to bermuda or something, because the phone number I KNEW was mine was disconnected or no longer in service. The phone company changed the prefix on the number by just one digit, THAT DAY, and no one told me cause I was like 6 or 7. Bad timing all around.

Good times, but it wasn't the 2000s. The 2000s had Moon TV and Rakel's Fuckschool. Still bummed about them not airing the assfuck episode; still have no idea how to assfuck. Hey now, at least regional Nelonen and TVTV switched to porn from the test pattern around 0200 so you didn't need no fancy dial-up Internets or Moon TV to learn that stuff.

Batman, it makes a marvellous picture: you without a shadow, stewing over chicken giblets in the pressure cooker, next to nothing in the walk-in larder, punching your 12 inch rear end all winter, you baby, now I'm the real boy wonder.

It's 2020. Who could reasonably expect to still receive non-digital broadcast TV signals?

I know that homegrown stuff is rarely funny to anyone besides the poster but this made me laugh because either their chat bot is programmed for this or a real person had to reply. Either way it made me laugh. And I got my answer. edit: the janky artifacts are from when I had it resized on imgur, sorry.

4 seasons is just too much cognitive load, every region seems to try and collapse it to two. Growing up in the Midwest we joked there's 2 seasons, winter and highway construction. Now in the south the joke is there's two seasons, hot and brown.
