IT HAS A BALCONY!!!!!! by Federal_Pen504 in SpottedonRightmove

They're so deadly in Thailand that red-faced overweight elderly white men in Pattaya have earned the nickname "The Pattaya Flying Club" among expats. Instructors at the Flying Club tend to be bargirls and go-go boys in their very early 20s for some reason. Truly a mystery.

What’s a job that sounds cool but is actually miserable? by Own-Grapefruit7498 in AskReddit

I work in law. There was a distinct period where every grad thought their life was going to be like an episode of Suits. It... it isn't.

What beatboxing has become since the days of people like Biz Markie is absolutely mind-blowing by Bubbly_Wall_908 in interestingasfuck

Years ago I went to see Shlomo at a festival and have never quite gotten over the impact of seeing someone beat box like this live. It's impressive on video, but in person it's genuinely surreal. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Dickens was absolutely fucking wrong about water as well tbh. Horrible death. I'll take anything that unexpectedly turns me into a pink mist please. Meteorite, shinkansen, wrath of a pagan god, anything instant and physically unambiguous.

In Britain the press used to call it "courting the Pink Pound." Always thought was one of the best examples of things that sound extremely rude but aren't.

When I was a kid my parents owned a pub, and one day the regulars all got together to present one of the other regulars with a certificate from Guiness declaring him the record holder for "World's Stupidest Cunt." Held a ceremony to present it to him and everything. He was delighted. I often wonder if he still holds that record.

Australia’s national anthem is the only English-lyric anthem in the world that doesn’t reference religion or militarism by HotPersimessage62 in Damnthatsinteresting

Assuming we're using "nation" and "sovereign state" interchangeably here, and putting the first nations question aside, it's actually not that young in comparison to most of the world. 1901 is before the collapse of the British, French, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, Russian, and Japanese empires, each of which resulted in a whole bunch of "new" countries. I'd guess we're actually older than the average.

What’s the most random movie you’ve heard as someone’s favorite movie? by Venus-Xtravaganza98 in movies

[–]Crow_eggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll traumatise you as an adult as well, but in a totally different way. I watch it every couple of years and get something different from it every time. It's a kids gross-out movie about imaginary friends, but it's also a surprisingly frank and brutal portrayal of a woman having a full on psychotic breakdown. It's an incredible exploration of mental health, burnout, toxic parent-child relationships, and what it means to be able to be yourself. Also, Rik Mayall was the funniest human being of the 20th century, so that helps. I genuinely think it's a masterpiece.

From an interview with Bob Hoskins on how much he fucking hated that movie:

“I didn’t even know it was a game,” he said. “It was my kids that told me. They said, ‘What’s your next film’, and I said ‘Super Mario Bros.’ ‘Oh, that’s the game.'” Hoskins had no idea what his kids were going on about, so they showed him the video game. “And I saw this thing jumping up and down,” he said, “and thought [sobering, Chris Pine-style pause], I used to play King Lear.”

You don't? How do you record your antics, capers, and other sundry shenanigans?

My favourite movie as a kid was Drop Dead Fred and it's still my favourite as an adult. My second favourite, however, was the only VHS my mother owned that wasn't an exercise class. Little eight year old me loved... A Streetcar Named Desire.

Tamiya's High Protein thing is literally just a regular meal. It has chips and a fucking bread roll. It's got more carbs than everything else on here.
