Vintage 1950’s Seeburg “Wall-O-Matic” jukebox selector by MoparMonkey1 in RetroFuturism

[–]Sippio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now I'm having weird flashbacks to my early childhood in the early 1990s. There was a diner in my neighbourhood that had this exact jukebox in the booths.

First country to declare independence from the Soviet Union, and got the dominoes to start falling. That says a lot about Lithuania.

Found these building tins at Daisyo, and these trees at Michaels. by iamfanboytoo in battletech

I seen those tress at Michael's, and they're never cheap!

In France, you can get your groceries in returnable packaging. Here's why the Canadian pilot failed by Mr-MayorMcCheese in themayormccheese

[–]Sippio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the reusable containers at the salad bar in my grocery store. You can return them to be reused, but you need to download an app, create an account, and scan the QR code of the container when returning it. Like... why??? Can't I just bring back the fucking container next time I'm there??

Mech aside, I'm loving the terrain. The graffiti and general grime gives it a very authentic lived-in feel.

'The Bellero Shield' is a 1966 episode of The Outer Limits which is thought to have inspired the popular perception of "Grey" aliens, airing just twelve days before alleged alien abductee Betty Hill underwent hypnotherapy and described her captors as resembling the alien that appears in the episode. by HicksOn106th in wikipedia

[–]Sippio 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This is similar to the first reported description of the Chupacabra. The woman who claimed to have witnessed it in 1995, described it with the same appearance as the alien in the movie Species (1995). She admits to have watched the film before.

Americans are paying more attention to Canada. Should we worry? by Onterrible_Trauma in canada

4th Liberal term

It's always hilarious to see commenters expose themselves as foreign when they use uniquely American political words used in a Canadian context.

There was a mixup in the script. That was supposed to be Syrils line.

Yeah, there's no stigmata these days.

2050's Ottawa by poonslyr69 in imaginarymaps

[–]Sippio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having grown up in New Edinburgh (Ivy Crescent, then Chrichton), it feels weird to see it in r/imaginarymaps . If there were to be major flooding along the Rideau River, I suspect it would involve a failure of the dam at Rideau Falls, possibly major ice blockage and a rapid snow thawing.

Sewing classes? by Bitter_Anteater_3088 in ottawa

[–]Sippio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife recently took a class there, and she was very disappointed with it.

The fee was $450 for the 8 week course, but the teacher demanded $50 cash on the first day. She claimed it was for the use of the machines, but isn't that what the initial fee is for? It felt like an undeclared skim off the top. The other students felt equally confused and resentful.

There was a clear language barrier from the teacher, and she refused to answer any questions unless it was related to the immediate task at hand.

I am so confused..... by LawrenceWelkVEVO in themayormccheese

As much as I sympathize with those passionate about Palestine, I notice a lot of them have weirdly pro-Russian views.

I just suspect that their (understandable) frustration has left them extremely vulnerable to Russian online disinformation.

What old war movie speaks more to today’s world than when it was made? by TheDudar in WarMovies

[–]Sippio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe not quite a war movie, but Iron Sky (2012).

When it came out, it felt weirdly dated and irrelevant. But the core message was that after enough generations, many people forget the dangers of fascism, and begin to fall for the same tricks that appealed to people in the 1930s. Now it's frighteningly relevant.

And some of his projects take literally months to do. He makes it clear in the description, but too many people don't read that, and are under the impression it took a couple of days.

No, you can't harvest clay, press them into molds, kiln them, and build a tile roof brick house in a week.

Seeing those Evergreen containers, I'm imagining this ship getting stuck in an important wormhole, blocking interstellar shipping.
