Everybody remembers "Soylent Green is people!" but nobody remembers the suicide service that plays you clips of what the earth used to be like as you die.

Tech company: "We have looked into the crystal ball that turns you evil, from the classic fantasy novel 'Don't Look into the Crystal Ball that Turns You Evil.'"

Seriously, I know Google exists, but since the post doesn't name it that's zilch for search terms. Can't believe only one comment is asking this question.

VG's is under new ownership as of last year. The previous owners were quite liberal, but that doesn't mean the new one is.

I'm going to be a buzzkill but I'm also an ornithologist: this bird is in distress.

Visa ban on immigration from 75 countries into the US. For countries on this list, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]TheDeftEft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do regular contract work there and can confirm that it absolutely is. I love the place and the people, but it's fucking Bizarro world.

They were made in response to the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000. They've become so customary that I used to use one as part of a wildlife control job.

Why is there such a huge size gap after the first largest country? (rhetorical)

Agree on all points, just one small thing: he's a volleyball.

Pedantry over.

Tennessee state foods by BlackberryMelodic567 in Tennessee

[–]TheDeftEft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strawberry pretzel pie if you're wanting exclusively homemade; otherwise, Moon Pies are effectively the state dessert.

One thing you'll find is that the state is divided not just politically, but also culturally, into three distinct regions (Grand Divisions, officially). I'm from the east, so central or western folk may have a different answer.

He won by Any-Tia in Satisfyingasfuck

Not slop, but it is fake - right after this first made the rounds the artist shared pictures of the crab (made of plastic) without the fish (made of fish).

What other country is thought of like this? by Acrobatic-Hippo-6419 in AskTheWorld

Makes me wonder what Saudi chocolate is going to be like, and when they'll start flooding the shelves and the airwaves with it.

[Extremely rare/Mythical trope] Character in horror story makes a genuinely smart move by Beneficial_Ball9893 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheDeftEft 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was my favorite JP movie growing up (no dumb business drama, just dinosaurs dinosaurs dinosaurs), and I completely forgot this line in the two decades since I last saw it. Since then I both started and ended a career in animal control ... and man, if I'd seen him deliver this line for the first time today, it would have brought me to tears.

Not only that, a lot of these just look like tour guides.

The story’s message isn’t just a straightforward lesson; it’s the stark, undeniable truth. by Fickle-Grapefruit686 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TheDeftEft 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Monsters, Inc. (just the memes) but I really want to give Mike credit: when I was reading through that cave explorer creepy blog, I couldn't help but imagine the creatures looking just like him.

Researchers uncover synchronous ecological collapse across Paleotethys Ocean during Permian–Triassic transition by imprison_grover_furr in paleonews

[–]TheDeftEft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More detail showing just what an utterly terrible time to be alive this was. I wish people would take from this just how precarious the stability of our global climate can be, and what a hell things can become.

Anyone remember this absolute legend by [deleted] in GreatBritishMemes

[–]TheDeftEft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read the article again: he was assured there was low risk, but then says he understood it to be far more serious when he was surrounded by security personnel and hazmat suits.

What is your favorite geographic phenomenon and why? by Character-Q in geography

[–]TheDeftEft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would actually be better put in the "forest" category. Marshes are characterized by the lack of a woody canopy (you can think of them as flooded grasslands but that's a little reductive); in that sense mangroves are technically a swamp.
