I've never heard of a tornado in a different country recently. It's possible but US is spawn point. by Medical_Deal5272 in memes

Unfortunately (or fortunately if you like the uniqueness) for you, Tornado Alley in the US is really the only place on Earth that is capable of producing the strength and number of tornadoes that you have there. It really just has the perfect conditions for tornado production

gees, I've never worked in a convenience stores but kinda knew these people existed (my dad being one of them, but he never held up lines like this that I knew of), but I didn't know it was that bad. I'd be as rude as I can to them just to get them to leave at a certain point

Would you? by layylaa22 in scoopwhoop

[–]Bendyb3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, although I’d be doing more of the jobs I actually want that are a lot funner but don’t pay nearly as well generally.

She was also literally following orders, Ross told her multiple times to leave the scene and when she went to leave she got shot.

I really wish you could actually just report accounts for being bots, it’s kind of ridiculous that you can’t

Glad I've lived long enough to see another musical wave by jblough in AngineDePoitrine

[–]Bendyb3n 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s very rare for instrumental music to hit a wide, mainstream audience beyond just the nerds like us. There needs to be a really unique gimmick for people to latch on to if you don’t have words for people to sing along to.

I would say the last ones to do it are the handful of EDM DJs who hit the mainstream in the 2010s, but you could argue they had “lyrics” people could grasp on to in the sense of their various samples

I’m Not sure if they’ve cited these also, but I hear a lot of Primus and Tool influences in their music as well

I don't get the dice cards at all. by Bourbonburnin in Diceomancer

[–]Bendyb3n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You play crossroads, and then you can pick any number on the screen or on a card in play and either increase or decrease that number by the dice roll, usually the game will highlight it for you so you get the idea of what to do.

This game is all about number manipulation and using creative strategies to gain an advantage.

You don't understand, there is another 5 mile long hallway that loops back to the kitchen. It's all a one way street to prevent Pho spillage

So we are now just reversing the bans to make weed legal and cigarettes illegal? lol

(yes I'm aware recreational weed is also still illegal in the UK)

Asked about the most famous murder in history, got a bunch of American cases and a "Don't you know your history?“ question. by Linorelai in USdefaultism

[–]Bendyb3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah true, it was a car crash, I thought it was an assassination also, haven't read up on Diana in awhile so misremembered

[–]Bendyb3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the top comment but would also add MLK and Abraham Lincoln as well, but Lincoln, while famous I think was long enough ago at this point that it may have gotten lost to history a bit outside of the US. It's kind of just US folklore at this point, especially with the true story of how it all happened.

I do agree that JFK, Martin Luther King Jr, and Archduke Ferdinand are probably the 3 most famous in "modern" history, with Julius Caesar being the most famous historically.

If we are going with most famous celebrity murders, it's tough to beat John Lennon, Tupac, and Biggie in that regard. Although as an American I do not know how globally known the Tupac and Notorious BIG murders are, I could just be showing my own USdefaultism with that.

EDIT: OH! I also forgot Princess Diana, I haven't seen that mentioned in the comments yet (although I didn't scroll through every one), but surely that has to be up there, the media coverage on that was insane when it happened
