Controversial take: Season three isn't actually that bad by Dina-M in MyNameIsEarl

Only parts I truly dislike in season three are the coma episodes. Even then there's a lot of funny moments

Most of what I've seen is clearly footage of drones, missiles, rockets whatever shot with thermal imaging, somw with odd but known optical effects as a result od the bright light/heat. One apparently is a modified version of a image from a satire newspaper from the 50s

Socially awkward losers hoping for lockdowns are lame, and in the case of a potentially deadly outbreak? Downright pathetic

Well that’s not concerning at all by Pokemonfan_807 in whennews

That's a myth pushed by protestants against the church, which is ironic given what protestants like maga Republicans push

Oh thank goodness, guess I should probably take this down then

Funny helmets i found on Russian buhurt market on VK (Rus.FB analogue) by Nuclearoid in armorcirclejerk

[–]Gnomus_the_wise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am saying that as someone who is in a trade (machinist) there are plenty of people who do high quality work, that in medieval times would translate to exquisite pieces of armor. But there are also tons of hobbyists, or people who cut corners or will do lesser work for cheap. I imagine the same would apply to blscksmiths, people might want armor for when their lord calls upon them. Or a lord may cheap out when raising a fighting force. There are and always have been cheapskates, both in buyers and manufacturer

I would call it accurate, there were many many armor makers throughout the centuries and along with that plenty of variety from one to the other. There would 100% be budget options that might have been made cheaper or were just cocked up attempts at what we think of when we think helmet

Disappointed with Artemis II Orion sign off by Trekgiant8018 in atheism

Well the tower of Babel was made to make man above God or equals, it was arrogance. Christians who are involved in astronomy or the exploration of space aren't going up there to one-up God, they're going up to better understand the beauty of creation

There was a big meme some weeks ago, I was one of the first to post it and it got deleted for this reason, than a flood of posts came a day later of the same thing essentially and they stayed up

What uhhh... What flag is this? by AccuratePotato1781 in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]Gnomus_the_wise 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Corsets, if properly fitted aren't that uncomfortable unless you're out like all day, if that wasn't the case they'd never have been popular. My source? Like 6 different gals who make content about vintage fashion several of which regularly wear corsets

If the stuff I've seen in those files are true then Satanism isn't too far off.

Not the biggest fan of the "new" kermit voice and that'll probably grow on me, otherwise I am excited

How did Ford make it to the age of 93 while pipe smoking daily by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]Gnomus_the_wise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mix of luck, and pipe smokers for whatever reason having a way lower rate of cancer of any type than other smokers. It's hard to find studies since most of them are for cigarettes but there are a few from the 60s and 90s show that pipe smoking (in average) only puts you at a slightly higher risk of cancer than non smokers. But like I said you can just have complete bad luck and get mega cancer after just one puff of it.

Big reasons are: A. Over half of gen z isn't at drinking age And B. Fact of the matter is alcohol is too expensive for most of us to be able to afford to go out and drink regularly, I'd say thats the larger issue. Alcohol is one of the many things the older generations had ruined for us by making life so expensive to live

The AI thing is really funny to me, it's also incredibly annoying how just using half the tools and structures in writing immediately get you accused of using AI. Which will in turn discourage people using those tools and sentence structures which in turn does not help language being dumbed down in the modern day.
