Besesoth posted:It's funny how things from your childhood sneak up on you. Yesterday I realized, out of the blue, that the wave of concern about "latchkey kids" in the late 80s and early 90s was actually conservative anti-feminist rhetoric. "If those drat women would just stay in the kitchen where they belong instead of getting jobs, these kids wouldn't be home alone." It's even worse because conservative governments wanted women to work to double the available pool of workers and keep wages down. They then did this to make sure they felt like poo poo for it.

The traditional baked bean bomb is a can in the fire and will leave bean holes in your tent if it's too close when it goes off. Adding a can to water, even if it still did go bang, it's daft as it would suppress the explosion.

Hardcordion posted:So you know the joke "Why did the chicken cross the road?" That extremely well known joke that we've all been hearing since we could understand what a joke is? The punchline isn't just about the simple motivations driving a chicken to do what it does. The other side is the afterlife, because the chicken gets run over. lmao, what is this poo poo. Chicken just wants to get its smoke on.
