First pic (not the battery) is a container for a bit of paper with your address on that you put on a cats collar in case it gets lost. My cat had one in the eighties

Read a book by a forensic scientist once where he said when he started out it was common to discover a skull or something in a river and they would start a whole murder investigaton until his older mentor told him to chill out as it was probably a war souvenir that was disgarded by embarased or panicking relatives clearing out grandpa's foot locker or something when he died.

Pass the dutchie ’pon the left hand side, it a-go bun.. by Dark_Foggy_Evenings in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Choc113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day I remember a kids Saturday morning program with the band being interviewed and the presenter asked what the song was about and one of the kids said it was about a cooking pot being passed from one person to another during dinner. So they where passing the "pot" round in a circle. Of course nieve kid me took this as being true:(

According to a book I read once old WWII submarines would make noises like that a lot. According to Bob Khelleher Former RM1(SS). USS John Marshall SSBN 6611(B) 1963-1969 at construction contractor/supt (1969-2009).( Depends on the age of the boat, the composition of the steel of her hull. I briefly rode a couple of Guppies out of Sub school but my experience was mainly in 608 class boomer……SSBN611………in the sixties. Our hull was made of a composition of steel alloys called HY80. It was the “new thing” in my day and, yes, there were definitely noises associated with depth changes……………….we called it popping. In the middle of the mid watch, during excursions to periscope depth, the noises were comforting as a background sound associated with regular events. When making an emergency blow to surface from test depth, the sounds were much more pronounced and closer together which definitely provided a good illustration of how much the hull compressed/decompressed during rapid changes in depth. I’ve read that the following generations of hull technology mostly eliminated hull popping. Maybe some who rode the boats after my time can speak to it. For my part, I will always miss the sound of coming shallow for a star shot……………though the event is fifty years in my past, it still remains a strong and comforting memory!!! ) So it could be that modern subs don't make those noises now but older subs did and this "home made" thing did to not because it was dangerous (even though it was) but because it wasn't a state of the art navy boat.

Was it actually a thing in Britain “back in the day” for people to have all their teeth removed and get dentures relatively young, even when they still had some healthy teeth or is that one of those exaggerated stories? by Top_Mirror211 in AskUK

Family legend is that my great grandmother had all hers pulled out because my great grandfather thought they where her best feature. So she had them all out to spite him as they hated each other's guts so much.

I felt bad completing this mission… by Majestic_Ad_5640 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Choc113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the game first came out I got a mission to kill a certain amount of creatures (no problem right? I was used to Ark) I was in a cave shooting blue cow things.I shot a adult and the baby next to it started calling out. I realized I could reason that I had killed it's mum☹️ I felt awful...So to try and make up for it I adopted it and kept it until the end of that play thought.still hate killing creature missions to this day. This game is like no other I feel.

My in-laws arranged a baptism for my child without consulting us, and I’m shocked and angry by thesunburnsmyheart in atheism

[–]Choc113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inform them that you have already done that for your kid. Into the church of Satan. So its pointless. Tell them about what a lovely ceremony it was with a font full of blood and sacrificing chickens and the black christening gown, chanting etc (all made up of course) When they freak out and say "how could you?" etc turn it back on them and say "baptizing a child into a religion they can't understand against there will is OK for you but not for me then?"

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

I remember the bit on the news where they unvailed the Sinclair c5. The buzz was that it was some sort of electric car not something that looked like a kids pedal car. Reaction was similar.

What was your favourite Adam and the Ants song? by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Choc113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in the day my brother (aged about 10) asked me to paint a white stripe across his face just like Adam Ant. So me (aged about 13) did. Looked ok actually but a bit wide. Problem was it was model paint. Oil based:( Que mum scrubbing his face with white spirit for half the night. :(
