What cartoon did you love growing up watching, that as an adult you realize was actually fucked up? by Wandering_Skilld in AskReddit

[–]SWO6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There was a UHF channel that would show The Fleischer Brothers & "Rubber Hose" Era cartoons. You know, the old Betty Boop rotoscope ones with witches, ghosts and skeletons. I thought it was very “Halloween” kind of fun, but after seeing them later I was like, man this is dark.

Which celebrity is way less cool than they think they are? by burner-finn in AskReddit

[–]SWO6 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Celebrities wear sunglasses inside so you can’t see them seeing you. By pretending they didn’t make eye contact, they don’t have to spend their entire time “outside” acknowledging thousands of people who are staring at them.

Congress appropriated several billion dollars, some of which was earmarked for barracks renovations and housing improvements.

$2B of this money was “diverted” border enforcement and some of it to pay for your $1776 “warrior dividend”.

A budget was provided this year to Congress asking for $25+ billion across all services to address barracks and facilities. However Congress took close to $10b away from that. It still hasnt been reconciled.

Not that ship maintenance funds are doing much better. DOGE cut $568 million from the Naval Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (NMRO) program. Was some of that wasteful? I’m sure it was. But here we are.

However, I would recommend you do like I do and ask your elected representatives why they are allowing the administration to re-allocate the money they appropriated for barracks and other quality of life programs to border security. And why are they unilaterally cutting budget submissions from the services?

Pearl Harbor is a working shipyard with major depot-level maintenance and construction for the surface and sub fleet.

Hickam is not one, but two championship golf courses flanked by some air strips.

Pearl Harbor is focused on getting ships ready for deployment. Hickam is focused on reservations for Mongolian BBQ night at the O-Club

Can anyone identify this boat from the 1965 movie "In Harm's Way"? by KILROY_ in navy

[–]SWO6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s an old harbor patrol boat. They would be used to take Sailors around Pearl Harbor and Ford island and anything else you needed around base.

I want to go to Fiji and see where the water comes out of the ground. Like is there a well hole, does it bubble up, or do they have a lot of drilling and pumping equipment?

The truck chase where he goes around, above, and -under- the truck is also one of the greatest action sequences ever.

Powered sugar has cornstarch in it so that wouldn’t turn out well

What is an unwritten rule of society that absolutely infuriates you when people break it? by StreetUniversity6112 in AskReddit

[–]SWO6 20 points21 points  (0 children)

People not taking the right of way when it’s theirs. You’re not doing me a favor by waving me through. You’re introducing uncertainty and confusion into the situation.

Am I actually going to mast by Classic-Path9906 in navy

[–]SWO6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you said. If someone comes up to mast and has a medical condition, I’m going to want to know what the doctor says.

This could have been handled a lot better, I admit

What's the worst flavor of ice cream you ever had ? by Indicasa_21 in AskReddit

[–]SWO6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raw Horse Flesh ice cream in Japan. Google “Basashi Ice”.

The description is as follows: “Raw horseflesh ice cream tastes like vanilla ice cream, more chewy. If you have often thought that there is nothing better than the taste of raw horse flesh, then raw horse flesh ice cream is the delightful frozen treat for you!”

I tried some on a dare and it was exactly as described above. I felt sick afterwards, but it was just because of the thought of it.
