I actually have a friend who lives in Clermont, and I was talking to him yesterday how it would be cool if we could just go to our local identical Wendy's and through some dimensional chicanery both meet up for lunch.

As a kid before I understood things like "Physical distance", I used to think that like, all McDonalds were connected to each other. So like you could theoretically teleport if you walked in one McDonalds and out another.

Come to think of it, that would be a kinda cool concept for like a modern RPG world...

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
God those posts are weird. What the hell happened, someone copy post without quote?

I don't understand but I've also heard much worse
Had my first Snapple Element in 20 years yesterday :feelsgood: Air is amazing but Rain was the one I liked when I was a kid. my stepsiblings and i would (I'm sorry this sounds so dumb) get the flavor that matched the pokemon starter we always chose. So since I always chose Water pokemon I got the rain flavor and my step brother always got Fire...I think my step sister would get Air because I don't remember there being a Grass/Earth flavor of elements.

Idfk we were 9 or whatever

That said, I'm ride or die for Grass pokemon now :cool:

Speaking of weird kid stuff in the 90s, I’d found an oblong magnet on my way school one day similar to this

About the size of my middle finger now.
So whenever we played super hero during recess I would be Scarlet Spider

Was fun as hell till I got in trouble for whipping it at Wolverines head.

We had something similar in our town, the burger king backed on to this pub that had a rat problem, the pub refused to deal with it because they didn't sell food which forced BK to close. The manager just locked the doors and left everything as it was for 15 years till it got bought by a slot machine company.

Near me there is an old Taco Bell that is the original-ish building with adobe walls and half-mooned windows.

It has been abandoned for decades now but it makes me think of those repurposed Pizza Huts.

There was a lot of "ergonomic" things in the 90s as people started using computers more often and for longer, but they were almost all designed without thinking what was actually practical.

There is a reason things are how they are, because no one has created a better way to do it that people actually want to use.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
I'd never seen this before because it's Top of the Pops and I'm Amurrican, but goddamn. Bjork with Skunk Anansie. The latter of whom got boned because rock stations saw a black lead and a black bassist and assumed "Oh this is R&B" and wouldn't play them, and record stores likewise put them in the R&B bin. But they were fuckin' hard.
