Yup, from "Star" (a great watch). I just didn't find the GIF in a quick search. Back when BMW knew how to market properly.

Lazyhound posted:It’s funny to me that a Canadian non-profit’s commercial somehow got adopted into online culture, incorrectly (the line is originally uttered by an epilepsy patient, not a somebody having a stroke). Thank you for the linking the videos. I grew up with these, I don’t know how I came to associate “burnt toast” with Strokes. I commented because I recently rewatched a QI and they addressed the fact that the smell was only associated with one case, but everyone thinks they will smell burnt toast when their brain goes kablooey. I will have to find the episode again and confirm if they are talking about Stokes or Epiliepsy

I always seem to remember Burnt toast = seizure. Though it was never specified what type of seizure.

I usually associate Strokes with "Is This It?" and the early 2000s revitalization of the New York rock scene.

ultrafilter posted:For some reason, people in Silicon Valley really don't want self-driving cars to be tested in their neighborhoods. Maybe I haven't been in the area long enough to hear about that pushback (or I'm just not reading about it). At my old job we were permitted to test in downtown Palo Alto. I also worked for a well known auto manufacturer that was cautious and open with it's level 4 testing, so I'm sure that helped ease any concerns.

Google tested the dumb little googlepod cars around their campus in Mountain View. You could steal the right of way from them at stop signs if you didn't come to complete stop, because they wouldn't move until everyone at the stop sign was completely stopped.

It's not toast, but I always enjoyed that on Warehouse 13, one of the questions they would ask to see if someone had had an encounter with a strange artifact was "Have you recently smelled something that could best be described as fudge when there is no fudge?"
