They get to have their own thing that we can't relate to and that's awesome. Now pardon me, I have to tie an onion to my belt.
Can always use xcancel instead of x in the URL.
@ardgedee ✔️ thanx!

Photo of a sign that says, "You're "expertly" checking the heft and balance of decorative replicas of cartoon swords, so just stop."
I haven't thought about the sword wall in any given 1980s mall knife store in a long while, huh

A large inflatable holiday-themed yard decoration designed for a front yard is set up inside a room with large windows. It is so massive it completely fills the space as it lies on its side with a waving arm and smiling face just visible at the corner of the window.
My friend in St. Paul sent me this pic early this morning. Fricking amazing IMO.
Is that a projection, or an actual inflatable snowman?
@shaniber Based on the bunching up around the foot on the left, I'm going with actual inflatable.
I'm pretty sure it's an actual inflatable. And I'm also intrigued by the oddly haphazard location of the lights strewn across the front yard.

Image Collage. Both images show the view of the South Saskatchewan river, with the Traffic Bridge on the left, and two high rise towers framing the shots. The left image shows the view obscured by a blizzard, the sky and view grey with cloud and snow. The right image shows a clear winter day with a colourful sunrise.
Yesterday, Incouldnt see the bridge from my office. Today, it’s a gorgeous sunrise view.

This shit right here is how anyone close to these assholes should be responding. So much mealy-mouthed ignorance among journalists who do not need to take the shit that's being dished out right to their faces. It's infuriating to see someone allow themselves to be bullied by these shitheels with paper thin egos.
Sorry. Long year.
Sorry. Long year.
@owl Nono, preach!

@owl Amen. The silence from the journalists who've born witness to the Führer's childish insults hurled at their peers is absolutely maddening.
@owl never apologize!

A monstrous Guild Navigator from Lynch's DUNE floating in its tank with the caption, "I am not a toy. I am a four thousand year commitment. Please think twice before gifting someone a third stage Guild Navigator this Christmas."
Mom, he followed me home! Honest! Can we keep him, mom, huh, please?
the spice must flow
they're so cute when they're small tho
All those attendants don't work for nothin', too
keep him out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any water, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight

Not the twist to this murder mystery that I was expecting.

From the creator of Chernobyl!
@WikiAdam Not unlike George Miller’s turn to Babe?
@MackReed I just looked up the writer, Craig Mazin, and apparently Chernobyl is an outlier in his career (along with The Last of Us). The vast majority of his resume is comedies: two Scary Movies, two Hangover sequels, RocketMan from the '90s...

A list of 20 defunct media such as fax machine and rotary phone, with the title: Show your age: 1 point for each one you have used.
Aol was never a big deal in Europe (AFAIK), and I don't think I ever *used* a water bed, other than trying out at friends' places. So a solid 18.
source: https://www.tumblr.com/bruceste...

20 doesn’t feel old enough, maybe it should be 2 points for each.
19/20, 'cause AOL was already a bad idea when we got the CDROMs in Oz
18 because I've almost always had internet access since 1990, never had to resort to AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, Delphi, etc. And I've never slept in a waterbed.
I briefly did some contract work for AOL... after 2010. So I had multiple AIM chat handles. If those count, then a solid 19.

Also -- who calls them "mixed tape"?
What sort of "use" did they have in mind for a waterbed? I've slept on one, but was too young for much "use" ifyouknowhatimean...
@ardgedee whoever did the affront of a layout calls it that.
19/20: cursive? That's for olds.
19/20: cursive? That's for olds.
All of the above. Many items feel more useful to me than what we have currently.
20 and i agree with @m3moellering, the replacements for these aren't necessarily better.
@ardgedee @scruss I suspect that whoever put this list together is too young to have experienced most of these things, hence the misspelling.
Also: solid 20 here.
Also: solid 20 here.
@dreyfusslugado Maybe? "mixtape" is still a thing, even if these days it means it was assembled in Ableton and posted to Soundcloud.
An easy 20 for me
"Nadja, Gizmo here said I should make this mixed tape for you to express my love."
@argeedee I looked into it for a journalist once and found "mixed tape" and "mixtape/mix tape" have basically co-existed since they were first a thing. Whether it is a tape of a mix or a tape that is mixed is in the mind of the speaker. But possible it started as "mixed." The dropping of the "-ed" is typical lenition of an unstressed syllable in an initial word in a two-word compound. Compare ice tea/iced tea, shave ice/shaved ice, ice cream / iced cream, though their stories vary. With some, like mixtape and shave ice in particular, we see what linguists call "enregisterment," where the markedness of the term becomes noteworthy as a community badge or shibboleth.
uh I *still* use at least 4 of these, why you trying to make me feel like I lived in horse and buggy days
Solid 20 for me too, also completely none of these today.
I have used all of these. I currently use none of them intentionally. I'm fact, I would go so far as to say it is rather unlikely I will ever intentionally use any of these again. The single exception is a cursive signature that I most frequently replace with a drawing of a whale when signing credit card receipts. I write in block print normally.
21. Drove a Rambler
22. Drove Willys woody
23. Rode in a Studebaker
24. Read the Encyclopedias and still have the kids set.
25. Used cap pistols
26. Had a DDT truck fog your neighborhood.
27. Had 12 uncles and aunts, who fought in WW2.
28. Remember Dwight Eisenhour's Agriculture Secretary, and why he got fired.
29. Flew on a prop plane to Europe, and back.
30. Rode all of Route 66.
31. Paid $2.20 to fill a gas tank, 15 gallons.

@0y3ahSansAcut3 That list is almost 100% US, though ;-)
20, although only because a friend's parents had a waterbed.
@ardgedee @dreyfusslugado AI. AI calls it that.
@ardgedee @dreyfusslugado AI. AI calls it that.
18 - I never had AOL, but I was alive during the time it launched and could have. My dad was an early adopter with computers, so while he owned a typewriter, by the time I was typing, it was on a beige computer with a green screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I was born in '81)
@dreyfusslugado cursive is one of those things that propagate like waves. It's regional and time-dependent. It missed me completely, which is good, as I didn't need more teachers telling me how lazy my handwriting was. (ADHD, not laziness)
Waterbeds likely regional too. The idea of one in a damp Scottish 1970s house is a big huge nope.

didn't have AOL so 19. but
20 - used a hand cranked meat grinder to make ground meat
21- no running water, used a bucket to pull water from a well for the house
22- no running water, used an outhouse

@waa Stayed in a pensione in Amsterdam, when they still had eiderdowns to sleep under.
@tonyb I still use a hand cranked grinder to make flour! Me too-ish- I went to a true one room schoolhouse, one of the last in the U.S., and it had 2 outhouses (one for girls, one for boys) but they finally brought in septic my last year there. It didn't have running water either, but did at least have a handpump.
(The "school bus" was an old hay wagon pulled by a tractor by a super grumpy old guy who also did the plowing for the county road. (In the winter you knew it was time to get up when you heard him go by plowing north, and that you needed to be dressed for school, with your chores all done and ready for breakfast, by the time he went south.) He hung a sign on the back of the wagon that said, "Honk if you can read this- a kid fell off," which was, of course, always visible. Despite this evidence of a sense of humor, the only time I ever saw him laugh or even smile was when an out of state hunter started frantically honking at him one afternoon.)

20/20
It’s nice to get a perfect score at SOMETHING, but I really didn’t like that waterbed.
Yep 19/20 cos as others have said AOL never had a chance. Waterbed was my parents, and one housemate and that thing was a hit at house parties.
19. No Walkman.
@Davezilla I never had a legit Sony Walkman, but I had portable cassette and CD players, so I counted it because as far as I'm concerned "walkman" is a generic term for those.
@ardgedee I never had any portable music device of any kind (grew up in an ultra-conservative, Xtian family).
@1f2frfbf Yeah, was it even possible to "use" them in a good way without creating opposite waves cancelling out the movements? I don't know what I'm talking about anyways.
I still use a version of the cursive I first learnt. After I got my Ratta Supernote last year, I write a lot more by hand, and this is my fastest writing. I don't follow rules anymore, so I cut a lot of the connecting lines that don't make me faster, but I have kept many of them.

A box of now-defunct Kemps brand gingerbread men ice cream sandwiches sits in a red and white tray.
Adored these as a kid. Come holiday times they’d appear in the grocery store and I could eat my weight in ‘em.
They released a batch for nostalgia in like 2022, I think, but have no intention to make them ever again. 😫

Trader Joe's had a similar treat this holiday, but I have no comparison to the original.
YES, PLEASE
@1f2frfbf oooo! “Had” as in long ago or like “when I was there a couple hours ago?”
@wombatman70 My store had them still this week. Ask a crew member and they can check if it's still available for you. As for the future: I can predict the moon and I can predict the tides, but I can't predict what Trader Joe's will do.
@1f2frfbf Woohoo! I’ll go take a peek! Thanks for the intel!

Photograph of a snow covered vulcano with a small but noticeable plume of black smoke coming out of the top left side side.
The eruption of Mt. Edgecumbe was the work of a local prankster, 50-year-old Oliver "Porky" Bickar. The idea to ignite the volcano had occurred to him in 1971. As soon as he thought of the idea, he knew he had to do it. So he collected 70 old tires that he kept in an airplane hangar. But he had to wait three years, until April Fool's Day 1974, until the visibility conditions were just right for the prank.
