The egg trick is uh.... Neat I guess but the "bigger than before" doesn't seem true or even related to what's being done? Looks like it turned an egg into a sort of rubber ball which is neat until it rots and falls apart I guess.

Soaking an egg in vinegar dissolves the shell.

That much I'm sure about.

The rest? I mean I'd eat an acid-boiled egg that spent a day in maple syrup. Probably not after a day in probably not food-intended dye, though.

My parents liked "going for a drive". Not to anywhere, just driving around. We'd have to stop whatever we were doing just to sit in the car for an hour and end up back home. I still don't understand why anyone would want to do that - especially with four kids.

Was it usually at night? That can be a good way to get kids to go to sleep.

Having worked at a Chinese restaurant where nearly everyone in the kitchen was first generation, yeah, that stuff makes you feel the need to avoid open flames.

The second and third shots are easier, but I don't recall how the rest go.

Most horror movies would be so much better if the victims did this. Like, imagine Jason about to make his kill only for his target to see him, scream, and clonk him in the head with a bottle before scuttling off.

A significant fraction of horror movies would be pretty short if, after temporarily downing the antagonist, the protagonist(s) stuck around and ensured they stayed down or would at least be noticeably slowed down instead of immediately running away.

Well, one way or the other. Terminator would also have been pretty short if the protagonists had tried this in the beginning.

The irony trap is that you quoted from the twitter thread to someone that was clearly joking

To be fair, I think Tunicate was basically quoting too

The spin-off about Uruk-Hai possibly having previously been humans who would understand the concept of a menu is loving hilarious though

Surely "mammalogist" isn't the right term. You're only expecting lagomorphs and rodents with that sort of trap, right? And depending on the bait probably just rodents.

"Rodentology" is a thing, "mammalogy" includes bats and whales lol

Likewise it's very hard for us to say what will and won't be remembered in 400 years because even if we don't manage to kill ourselves (a very big if at the moment) we're in an era of literally unprecedented ability to record and distribute data. If humanity keeps on trucking access to 400 year old material will be infinitely greater than it was for us to get material from 400 years ago.

I brought this up in a space thread in response to "language is going to change like it always has" because, uh, no, it won't change like it always has beyond new words for new concepts because we can hear what it's "supposed to" sound like at will. Space creole like Firefly or The Expanse, sure, maybe, but despite not having a French Language Advisory Board or whatever English isn't going to change much at all assuming people continue speaking English.

And there will always be radio stations playing Hotel California, forever. 3001 had a great take on the SCA that will probably hold up, and people in the year 3001 will be laughing about what came true and what didn't.
