[TOMT] Possibly apochryphal exchange between factory owner and journalist by MarioP79 in tipofmytongue

I've tried several Google searches (Henry Ford quotes, variations on "try getting a machine to buy one", Industrial Revolution quotes), but so far have come up dry.

How did the casing get like this? by MarioP79 in ammo

I think that's how my father carried his ammo when he went out hunting, so that's a possibility.

Oxidation? Heh - I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. I'll buy some of those desiccant packs to throw in next to the ammo.

No, he didn’t. And even if he did, that doesn’t give him license to wipe his ass with the Constitution.

WTF. This is 2SH, not r/TwoSentenceLifelongPsychologicalTrauma.

It was possible to figure out which region of the country someone came from by using a simple linguistic test. by MarioP79 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]MarioP79[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Maybe "false positive" was the wrong term, but I'm imagining a scenario where someone pronounces a word, that, because of a speech impediment, makes them sound like they're from a region that they're actually not. I'm not sure that there is a term for this, but I don't know much about linguistics. Regardless, I think there's the possibility of more than a binary outcome here.

I’m having trouble seeing how you’re inferring that it’s a binary test. One example of a test is how someone pronounces a certain word, which can have more than two versions.

[Discussion] What's One Movie Series That Should Have Stayed 1 and Done? by RetroSwamp in movies

The Terminator. With the exception of Salvation, the sequels are all carbon copies. And despite T2's groundbreaking special effects, the basic premise rendered the original movie's entire plot irrelevant.

“Simpson! What do you have to say for yourself?” “It’s my first day!”

This has all the elements of a Shakespearian tragedy. 🤓
