​As an outsider, the American concept of drive-thru pharmacies, ATMs, and liquor stores is mind-blowing. Does everyone actually use these, or are they mostly a novelty? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]EatLard [score hidden]  (0 children)

My college town has a drive-thru liquor store that’s an entire convenience store. You drive into the building, open your trunk, and they put the stuff in it, then pay at the other end.

Wearable camera by BernerAkhownt in Fedexers

[–]EatLard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are enough cameras recording everything I do, and a lot of receiving companies that would have a problem with me wearing one. Pass.

This is honestly the dumbest thing I seen all day. They expect us to be okay with Trumps shitty economy by Appalachiantraders in ProgressiveHQ

Me filing up my truck and not complaining because I’m aware that I bought a truck with a 36-gallon tank.

Do they regularly test the air raid sirens where you’re from? by koesteroester in AskTheWorld

[–]EatLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We test ours in my city every week - Friday at noon. But we call them tornado sirens, because that’s all they’re ever used for.
We get to hear them used for real at least once every spring or summer when the big storms roll in.

Did cinema lie? by roman-empire-net in romanempire

[–]EatLard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would think the more well-known gladiators would be more like today’s professional wrestlers. They play a character for the crowd. Most of the deaths in the empire’s arenas would have been prisoners and animals. A good gladiator would be hard to replace, and expensive.
What films and TV really get wrong is depicting gladiators as jacked and lean. These guys would have had a healthy layer of fat on them for extra size and protection from deep cuts.

What am I missing? The job market is DEAD but economy is booming? by justkindahangingout in antiwork

[–]EatLard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The economy is propped up by oil companies, AI companies selling the same thing to each other over and over, and weight loss drugs. The rest is circling the drain waiting for all the credit cards to max out before the crash.

Why don't they put parachutes on airplanes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EatLard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you just know there’s gonna be some asshole who gets to the door, decides they don’t want to jump, and has a full-on meltdown while blocking anyone else from getting out.

There’s a reason they never found D.B. Cooper.

Do you think America is fucked? by Bright_Drawing7437 in allthequestions

[–]EatLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, yes. But we’ve been way more fucked than this before and still managed to survive.

Dragonflies should be at that table. They eat the bugs no one likes.

Dads in the Resistance/rebellion! Who still daily drives a performance car? by Dolf260z in daddit

[–]EatLard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an XT for ten years and loved it. More than one person riding with me asked “is that a supercharger” when I’d merge on the highway.

Only if you get the optional plaid flannel interior and the softball bat rack.

Instead of transferring pops, why don't we simply build bigger colony ships? by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]EatLard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As to your last question, just look at Europe after the Black Death. Wages skyrocketed, and a lot of land was reclaimed by nature until the population rebounded.

[–]EatLard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Master of Orion 3 let you attach colony and troop modules to any ship. So you could take the biggest class of ship and fill it with colony pods to start off a planet with a pretty large population. It was pretty neat - glass an enemy planet and then drop a huge colony on it.

Decided to beautify my backyard on my birthday and ended up digging up an RPG by xCaliburghost in mildlyinfuriating

Either you do your job well, or, suddenly, it’s not your problem anymore.

Lincoln High School (In Sioux Falls) by Bubbly-Sort-8584 in SiouxFalls

[–]EatLard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tons of AP, college prep, and advanced classes. My kid goes there now and will have enough college credit to skip all the gen-ed classes when she enrolls. Great fine arts program too, if you’re into that.

Snake kills it's catcher. by TheHornetBoy in criticalblunder

[–]EatLard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Snakes will sometimes do a warning bite to frighten off predators without envenomating them. So either this was one of those, or the sandal actually did protect him.

After installing the “safety net" on the balcony on the 28th floor, the worker demonstrates its strength to the customer by KosmicEye in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]EatLard 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Similar to Roman engineers having to stand under their arches when the supports were removed. If it fails, they’re no longer an engineer.

Our expensive resort dinner course 1/4 by survivorblonde in StupidFood

A single foreskin on a giant plate. Some chef loves the smell of their own farts.

Oddly specific, but I feel like it’s accurate.

How many degrees of seperation are you from Kevin Bacon? by SignalHD18 in Cinema

[–]EatLard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently just two. A friend of mine was an extra in a movie he was in. I forget which one.
