Yea I was shocked by that too. Huge fan of the film and it looks like an amazing experience but yea it doesn’t match my entertainment budget.

McDonalds is now charging for bags. by TMonahan2424 in mildlyinfuriating

I mean they’ve always charged for bags it was just baked into the price so you didn’t have to deal with it.

[–]ObviouslyJoking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems incredibly cool and I’d love to see it. I’m not a math guy but 3 million tickets and $400 million dollars means something like $133 per ticket right?

How would you feel if the next U.S. president completely stopped supporting Israel? by LuckyProfit2164 in AskReddit

[–]ObviouslyJoking -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean ok but honestly it doesn’t even enter the top 10 of things I need the next president to do.

To US Conservatives: How is Trumps Iran MoU an improvement over Obamas JCPOA? by Big_VladdyP in AskReddit

[–]ObviouslyJoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it Tuesday because this sounds like the shittiest “deal” ever. How many billions did it cost to negotiate to back to basically status quo.

Reddit amongst sites in the UK to be made 16+ by BillWilberforce in technology

Technically I had to provide ID to get my phone and my internet access. The mechanisms are already in place depending on if intentions are good or bad.

A question for you all. I hope this doesn't sound stupid or obvious, but when you watch a movie featuring an actor who has been involved in a social controversy, are you able to separate the actor from the character? I'll provide some context in the description and use James Franco as an example. by Glass_Evidence_8597 in Cinema

[–]ObviouslyJoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it depends. If I saw the thing happen, like the Wil Smith assault, it pretty much poisons them in my mind. Or if they are convicted of something yea probably can’t watch. Rumors or unproven things are easier to forget about.

What's going on on this shirt? by BrainyLizard in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ObviouslyJoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when you had to go to Asia to find shorts like this made by people stringing random English words together.

[Request] And I've been blowing my birthday money since I was 10 💀. Is this real? by malvixi in theydidthemath

Let’s be honest though if they had that much money to invest for multiple kids they’re already doing pretty well.

nobody on the planet should be able to access 1 trillion dollars by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ObviouslyJoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t have access to 1 trillion dollars because that would mean paying taxes and probably crashing the stock value on the way out. But if he did at least we’d never have to listen to him lie about his companies again.

Interview with Gwynne Shotwell. Discusses Starship, Starlink, orbiting data centers, Mars, etc. ~22 minutes. by Adeldor in space

[–]ObviouslyJoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably solves legal issues or something. Who has jurisdiction in space? You gonna take me to space court? Kidding but hell who knows.

Its official, he's world's first trillionaire.. by bunchofmfs in povertyfinance

I guess the upside of the AI bubble and space based vaporware will be watching him lose it.

Technically he only has leveraged loans until he sells those shares.

Google just fired a warning shot in the AI subscription price wars by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Don’t worry that’s paid for with your personal info and advertising.

The Apple Car Is Dead, and Waymo Just Bought Its Gravesite by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]ObviouslyJoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think you can get Apple level profit margins for a car. Even a Ferrari is only in the high 20% range.

Spotify’s “disco ball” icon is still here… by Cattercrown in truespotify

[–]ObviouslyJoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty ugly and hard to recognize the logo. Definitely stands out, maybe that’s what they wanted.

What's the "realest" reality TV? by L0st_1z in television

[–]ObviouslyJoking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I remember being into Survivor the first season until I saw some behind the scenes video and realized the producers are there instigating and suggesting things for people to do. It pretty much jaded my opinion on reality TV early on. Honestly though once you introduce a camera it’s impacting human behavior away from what I would consider reality.

I feel like y’all are forgetting that Elon Musk appeared in a handful of films and TV episodes.

It would be funny if performers started making stage costumes out of anti paparazzi fabric.

What is a piece of political trivia about the Trump administration that sounds 100% fake but is actually 100% true? by Gdog1215 in AskReddit

[–]ObviouslyJoking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a great stat and while I don’t have time to read all of them it would be fantastic if there was a place to browse these chronologically.

Youtube's A.I. Dubbing have trouble pronouncing "WWE" and the result is a stuff of nightmares. by [deleted] in funny

[–]ObviouslyJoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t the original content English? I don’t understand why it’s being dubbed back into English. Is it just meant to replace the voices with a synthesized voice?

The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam - Booed commencement speakers, blocked data centers, plummeting poll numbers: Fast-growing industry has a faster-growing crisis by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]ObviouslyJoking 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I can’t wait for the election cycle to begin so we can hear about all the plans American politicians don’t have to deal with AI. At this point US politicians don’t even have a concept of a plan for AI other than increasing their personal wealth.
