I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon so I still pay cash for most things that I'm buying in person that come to less than like forty or fifty bucks. A lot of stores have already started rounding to the nearest nickel when giving change, and I'm completely on board with this. Honestly they could safely go to the nearest dime or even the quarter.

Brawnfire posted:When I point out someone just used a word that means literally the opposite of what they were trying to say and that's why I was confused, they always act like I'm a pedant instead of just trying to figure out what they're saying. The one that annoys me is when people use the word "literally" when they literally mean "figuratively".

The fighting-type Pokemon Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, which do martial-arts-style moves, were named after Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, respectively. (Hitmontop, on the other hand, was named because it spins around on its head like a top, as far as I can tell.)

Chef Boyardee was a real guy, an actual chef who founded the brand that still bears his name. Between this and Colonel Sanders, now I'm wondering what other mascots have been real all along. The Quaker Oats guy? Mr. Peanut? The Jolly Green Giant?

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There was a sequel to Grease released in 1982, starring Michelle Pfeiffer in her first major film role. I had no idea. The VHS box of Grease 2 deliberately put the "2" way the hell up where it might easily be missed. My first job was at a video rental place and it wasn't uncommon for customers who hadn't looked at the box very closely to come back, angrily demanding the real movie instead of whatever the hell cheap poo poo sequel this was.

Hell, I just found out today that Ed Meese is still alive. He was old as hell in the goddamn 80s but he's somehow giving opinions in court trying to excuse Trump's treason.

It turns out the skyscraper that I've always thought was the Empire State Building... ...is actually the Chrysler Building. In my defense, I've been to Manhattan only once in my life. I think my misconception came from extremely low-res skyscraper models in early versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator that I played as a kid (New York was as good as my native Chicago for slaloming a plane around between buildings), and also from an assumption that the building pictured on the commercial bumpers on Saturday Night Live must be the really big and famous one.

Charlie Brown wasn't really searching for the meaning of Christmas. His only concern was the Christmas play of which he'd been named director. Even after Linus gave his famous Bible-quoting speech on the stage, Charlie Brown's only inspiration was that his tree would somehow work. ("I'll take this little tree home and decorate it. And I'll show 'em. It really will work in our play.") We never see the actual play that so preoccupied Charlie Brown.

TK-42-1 posted:This sounds like the plot to an 80s movie starring Tom Selleck and Ted Danson and is wholesome as hell. There were only two dads, and it was a sitcom instead of a movie, and the big name was Paul Reiser, but this exact thing existed. And it was indeed both wholesome and very 80s.

Cyril from Archer and Jerry from Rick and Morty have the same voice actor. I don't know why I never noticed, especially since he does the two voices almost identically and both characters spend a lot of time in the same mood (flustered).

Torquemada posted:The video for Total Eclipse is loving wild, it's full of pale young men in singlets with shiny eyes prancing around a dollar store version of Hogwarts. Bonnie Tyler is apparently the new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, wardrobe from the Nordstroms in the Eden Prairie Mall circa 1982. The Literal Video version is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsgWUq0fdKk
