Up until recently in some parts of the world Champagne was used as a generic term for all sparkling wine. Recently treaties made with the EU have spread protection of the term restricting it to wines grown in the Champagne region.

I miss when the conservatives advocated, uh, conserving the status quo and that was about as far right as anyone cared to lean

Which was probably never the case...

It's a spectrum. There's always people who want to go back to a past that never existed.

I honestly thought same person. I subscribe to both for some reason but only chuck on their videos as background noise when working on something around the house. I always thought "Oi dickhead, just stick with one name and channel"

As I think of it: Adrians Digital Basement and Action Retro arent the same either.

I haven't played GTA V in years but I was randomly thinking about Weazel News and I just realized it's a take on Fox News. It's such a stupid simple joke I can't believe I never realized it.

People still use AOL for email. Hell, companies have AOL domains for their official email! :psyduck: I would have thought those addresses got expunged long ago.

Are they still valid?! I haven't tried actually emailing one of these people. My mind is just blown.

Someone link how the music played at the end of a Super Mario Bros. level is exactly the same as the sound you make when going down a pipe, just about fifty times slower. I remember seeing a tweet about it but I can't find it for the life of me.

It's the same as the power-up at least, I can't remember for sure but the pipe sound effect might be another version in reverse.

Looking down you may be correct but this just invites everyone else to the Edith Piaf Inception conversation.

Today it occurred to me that combination locks should be called permutation locks, and it's annoying the poo poo out of me.

Jargon of the arts (like mathematics) is always secondary to colloquial usage, though. The mathematical meaning of "combination" is a footnote, not the gold standard.

If you go by the :goonsay: route, you can also point out that a combination can only have two parts. Three digits? That's a contrination. Four? gently caress if I know.

Literally all but one of The Beach Boys was born in coastal California and the band was formed in Hawthorne which is like 20m from a bunch of famous beaches.
