I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US
  • Eh that seems like a major stretch. NJ used above was prefaced with “somewhat niche US info”

    I even replaced what the guy said which was Chris Christie with NJ gov because I hardly expected anyone abroad to know him

    I feel like if we’re going to start thinking that someone’s putting the ass in assumption just because they used something others might not understand then we’re in trouble

    You’d have to kill off any slang or expressions for fear that people might not understand them

  • I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US
  • As a US citizen I think we forget how much of our shit gets out.

    I’m always surprised when I go abroad and people are up to date with somewhat niche US info. I was in Hong Kong and some local dude made a reference to the fatass NJ gov who was chilling on the closed beach during lockdowns.

    I do feel like I see far more people complaining about US people making assumptions than I do US people assuming. When I’m replying to someone I don’t put any thought into where they’re from unless they drop a context clue.

  • Paris green (what I’m assuming the book covers in the meme is made of) is one of my wife’s favorite topics to info dump on someone. I brought her to the sign museum in Cincinnati and she had like an hour long convo with the dude who worked there on just that.

  • Advice for changing break pads
  • No you won’t need to bleed your brakes unless you happen to take off the calipers which you shouldn’t need to do.

    It’s a very easy job that shouldn’t take you too long.

    Your biggest worry is probably going to be stripping bolts if they’re a bit rusted. Can get some PB blaster and spray down all your bolts ahead of time so that they’ll come off easy.

    Don’t forget to check out a break-in procedure after you have the new pads installed.

  • Those still covered with a warranty beware
  • Same and some days I’ll go “I’m staying in bed all day today and not leaving for shit”

    I’ll order a pizza and get comfy then regret it later that night when I’m sore as shit and have bad reflux

  • Chekhov's gun
  • I hate when you’re watching like a B horror movie and the camera randomly pans to a sharp object on the wall. You just know that one hour from now that sharp object is going through the monsters chest.

  • Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
  • to keep people talking about

    Honest question but do they really keep people talking about climate change?

    I feel like this is the tenth stunt that I’ve read about then came into the comments and it’s just the same talk about exposure vs art vandalism.

    I generally just leave these posts more exhausted and don’t give a shit about exposure or vandalism in the end. With climate change being something the furthest from my exhausted mind.

  • Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it
  • Did we read the same post?

    Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

    I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.

    Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.

  • Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
  • Nothing like having to swat away 10 text boxes of bullshit on launcher start.

    When the game finally starts you get 10 more boxes and then ads for the season pass you couldn’t give a shit about.

  • Funeral
  • I think people fail to realize the cost difference in sports cars and yachts.

    I spent a fair bit on a Porsche but wouldn’t dream of owning some of the monster boats my neighbors haul and those aren’t even yachts.

  • Zoo admits that their pandas are ‘painted dogs’ after backlash from visitors
  • See also Panda diplomacy

    In the late 2010s and early 2020s, with China–United States relations straining, China began declining to renew panda leases for U.S. zoos.[27][28] The San Diego Zoo pandas returned to China in 2019, followed by pandas at the Memphis Zoo and National Zoo in Washington, D.C. in 2023.[29]The Memphis pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le, became a rallying point for Chinese calls to repatriate the bears after accusations of poor living conditions circulated on Chinese social media sites and the sudden death of Le Le in February 2023.

  • My wife has been binging true crime rule

    I was curious how much those blue barrels you see bodies buried in cost

    If you’re feeling fancy and hate microplastics you can upgrade to steel barrels for only $50 more!

    1960s Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom was wild

    Sorry for the short clip but I’m not sure where you can find the uncut versions these days.

    I went through and binged season 1 a few months ago. The way they handle animals and interact with animals is so foreign that it’s hilarious.

    Also apparently in the 1960s they didn’t cut shit. If they filmed it then it probably made its way onto tv. There’s so many bizarre scenes where you ask yourself why tf was this kept in.

    Check them out if you can! I remember another scene where they lasso bears from canoes

    This is my fav sub but what's a B movie?

    Hey, sorry for the meta post! Please please delete this post if this doesn’t fit here.

    I love this sub but there’s been a few movies where I love the cover and the movie isn’t very popular (these day?) but I don’t post it because it’s a once popular film.

    Some examples are like

    They Live (carpenter)

    Mars Attacks

    In the Mouth of Madness

    I love all of those but fear they’re too well known or had too big of a budget to be B movies.

    Like I love the activity on this sub but don’t want to accidentally co opt it into just being movies I love haha

    Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

    Best way to get into mtg with my wife?

    So we’ve played a little MTGA online so we’re a little comfortable with the game but have no idea how to get into physical cards.

    We’re interested in having mainly only LoTR ones but weren’t sure what to buy at the store.

    Online it looks like there’s starters and boosters but what would be the best way to get like a lot of LoTR mainly cards?

    Thanks!

    Feature Req: Hide/swap poster’s username when browsing multi subs

    Not a big deal but I’m still getting used to everything and trying to find new subs.

    I’ll find myself reading the post and directly under that is the posters username which for a split second makes me go wtf kind of sub is “MunichMyBalls”

    Love the app every other way though
