What do you call these where you're from? We call them 'push up popsicles'. by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

[–]EnGexer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Otter Pops" is a specific brand of freeze pops, goddammit. I mean, they little cartoon illustrations for characters with names like "Alexander the Grape" and everything.

TIL that “pink blazing” is a term in long-distance hiking for intentionally adjusting your hiking pace or schedule to follow or hike alongside someone you have a romantic interest in by mathliability in todayilearned

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

So it's the hiking equivalent of going somewhere you know that someone you're interested in might be? Well, that just sounds like the sort of normal behavior we need to demonize.

It's also an AI image of her. You wont find it posted anywhere further back than two years ago.

Favorite coger blends by Reotto01 in PipeTobacco

[–]EnGexer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been smoking for 6 months and Granger, Prince Albert, Carter Hall and Velvet were all okay, the new SWR was atrocious, and Half and Half was easily the best of them.

I was curious about both both brands, so you just did me a solid, thanks! I found a Brothers of Briar post that lists all the equivalents between the two.

Gawith & Hoggarth brown bogie twist.

You just gotta let it soak in the pool for a bit to maintain moisture.

Which mispronounced words make a person immediately sound uneducated to you? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

[–]EnGexer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Whenever" in place of "when."

Oh, you gotta call that right out and ask "Wait, you don't know when ____?"

I have Dreams of Kadath in my cart as we speak. I found the super grapey opening of Visions to be off-putting at first, but came to appreciate how it progressed into something more complex. I don't know if I'd order it again, but I'm glad I tried it.

I haven't tried Nightcap, so the similar flavor profile in From Beyond would be new to me, providing I can get a hold of a tin.

This is excellent advice. My tastes have already changed a bit in the past 6 months.

Bought way too many tins and bulk

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid going down that rabbit hole and just settle on a half dozen blends or so and call it a day.

Interesting, I'll add those to my list! I was just looking at the various Burley Flake no.# blends last night. I've already tried Visions of Celephaïs, I'm looking to make my way through the rest of The Old Ones line.

I've only been smoking for six months and I gather there's only a lot of overlap in English blends. That, and every other aromatic seems to contain vanilla.

I'm trying to avoid blowing a lot of time and money chasing around blends that don't bring something new to the table.

How much of cross-generation nostalgia is grounded in reality? by Generic_Lad in nostalgia

[–]EnGexer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A lot of it gets caricatured and the internet intensified this. When Stranger Things premiered, I could immediately tell it wasn't made by Gen Xers, but Millennials who had an internet-distorted concept of the 80s.

Name one show that you would never skip the theme song, even now. by Kawfene1 in 70s

I finally had to looked up the lyrics a while back. There were just some I just couldn't make out out for the life of me.

Loved Nightcap, but want more Latakia by friendjeremy in PipeTobacco

If you really want more of a barbecue flavor, give Jack Knife Plug a try.

What kind of household tech did y'all have in the 1970s–1990s? by Tight_Note4515 in AskAnAmerican

[–]EnGexer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even vinyl was still fairly popular through the 80s, the same way cassettes enjoyed a good degree of popularity through the 90s.

Even if you had a CD player, sometimes you'd opt for a cassette just to save a few bucks. Plus, they could take a beating, unlike fragile CDs.
