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?

remember when we classified a critical bomb technology so hard that we completely forgot how to make the magic kaboom foam and had to re-create that part of the manhattan project to figure it out all over again?

poo poo's like magic. IT CHANGES COLOR, WTF.


I think the funniest part about the bomb foam was that we remembered the formula to make it so we spent umpteen bajillion on raytheon or whoever and told them to whip us up a batch because we needed to top up the foam tanks on our death phalluses

so they did and we tested and there was no earthshattering kaboom

we'd hosed it up originally back in the 60s and it wasn't pure, and modern synthesis advanced enough that they made pure foam that wouldn't blow up. so we had to do a crash course in how to gently caress it up just enough that it goes boom but not so much that it wraps back around to not going boom.

as i've gotten older and seen more and more of this poo poo i become more receptive to sci-fi premises of a lost age of technological marvels that we can't comprehend. Atlas-5 rockets? Lol way beyond our capabilities. we can't even make new candybar configurations anymore, all we can do is swap out flavors on the machines our ancestors made and when they wear out so goes an entire genus of treat.

E: instantpots are now a relic of a bygone, better age. You can only get cheap imported claymore mines now for when you really hate your family but love cooking.

it’s a lot easier to make predictions if you don’t have to anchor them on a “when”

Canadian real estate is the easiest poo poo in the world to predict: number of available houses goes up, cost to buy goes up, rent goes up, number of homeless goes up.

Yeah, it's a legitimately Good Thing that people like Musk don't have the kind of sinister clockwork mind like John Foster Dulles or Kissinger did.
I can't even imagine how much more dangerous Elon would be if he could rub more than two neurons together at the same time.
