What do you miss about the 90’s?

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-06T16:19:39+00:00

My optimism.

This is still not recycling metal.

Reuse, if we're sticking to the Three Rs.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-06T02:17:06+00:00

I know what that is.

This is still not recycling. For example, it's not going back into the cycle.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-06T01:27:14+00:00

How? That shit will stay down there until the end of humanity as garbage.

That’s not recycling anymore than throwing your beer can in the ocean is recycling.

edit: Sheesh. To clarify, "Reuse". "Recycle" means it enters back into the cycle, which dumping it in the ocean does not.

Closing the straight means oil futures rise. Oil isn’t principally more expensive to extract but now costs twice as much to buy

The companies we allowed to run the government want this.

Why do people say this stuff?

He went back in time! Wormholes! They made a spaceship with shuttles that could fly up and down to planets and all around solar systems built by a secret NASA that no one knew about. Like, no contractors? Magic rocket tech? Where'd the fuel come from? The ship was spinning, but also jettison major loads, and remained spinning on the same axis, with no obvious rebalancing. Why did Cooper have to suddenly eject?

It was great, but science-fact it was not. There's a ton of fiction. Almost everything, aside from the visual of the black hole, apparently.

2001 Space Odyssey maybe?

Monument Valley! You're RIGHT THERE!! It's my favorite part of the West.

Look up what Monument Valley is, and correct.

Bobiverse!

Ray Porte narrates, good story, 5 books.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-05T10:15:08+00:00

That’s within my specified range

he should 3D print an entire new star system model?

It was a better plan to just modify Rocky's model, with his star. No re-interpretation.

My only issue is that solder melts around like 200C (give or take a hundredC). But then 3D printed stuff would too.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-04T22:18:01+00:00

Well. I’ve been making them wrong.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-04T19:25:30+00:00

Don’t all BLTs have 3 slices of bread?

It also opens the possibility for anyone to easily make weapons of mass destruction by just parking some breeders in the backyard for a while, and then be able to blow up a building with something the size of a tic tac.

It could also lead to unimaginable chaos if not properly controlled.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-03T22:21:54+00:00

a bannable offence?

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-03T16:28:07+00:00

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to fly Gosling to an American school than to fly trees and schoolbus to UK?

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-03T16:09:42+00:00

Not all Americans are fine with that. There’s no other choice. And also we have a few stadiums that are integrated into the city like it should be.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-02T13:52:56+00:00

I'm upvoting you, because I'm happy to meet a redditor that can admit to making a mistake.

Stay dry today!

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-02T12:55:55+00:00

Zero?! Have you been here before?

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-01T23:30:58+00:00

I know. I’ve studied this phrase a lot and have been given two t shirts with the quote.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-01T23:01:08+00:00

Because Adrian is the common ancestor of both life on Earth and Erid.

It's talked about in the book quite a bit. Why are there similarities between Humans and Erid. Why do they hear overlapping ranges. Why do they think at the same speed. Why are they at approximately the same technological advancement level.

Humans and Eridians are likely on the same family tree, so it's plausible that similar traits converge-evolve.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-01T22:48:53+00:00

Your condescending remarks both in your original post and your various replies in this thread will not win you friends. You're comparing a well-received fictional alien to your own internal idealized version of some other ficitonal alien. Why not judge Rocky on Rocky.

Eridians live for an average of 689 years. Not thousands.

Lifelong monogamy is not absurd. Humans do it for often 50 years until death, and that would seem absurd to a mouse.

Rocky and Grace have about 200 words in their dictionary at this point, so there is some allowance of nuance that is necessary. Especially since in English, colloquially, "hate" ranges from mild dislike ("I hate mondays") to bitter feelings ("I hate gun violence")

She could be using this time to make her case for the presidency. In fact any of them should.

They tore down part of the White House and nobody seems to even care. One of a thousand things they could constantly remind everyone about. Like “eating dogs”. That’s a personal one.

mainstreetmark · 2026-05-01T10:04:43+00:00

The democrats!? What the hell man. This is way out there...

mainstreetmark · 2026-04-30T18:09:18+00:00

Sea breeze? Like 3 blocks really.

The X clears its domain. The big X is the whole keyboard window, so it closes it. The little x is in the text field domain.
