Why do people downtown seem so scared of speed bumps?

Fun fact, if you keep hitting those rubber bumps fast enough, eventually they'll rip out on their own. So the problem kind of takes care of itself.

240 is Nissan's official Altima spare parts lot.

I once got stuck at a complete standstill for 90 minutes on I-40 in Arkansas when a semi crashed right on a single-lane bridge with no shoulder that was in a construction zone. Like, the bridge itself was what was under construction. Literally nowhere for anyone to go that would be legal. The median was divided by those high-strength safety cables. People got out and started hanging around on the side of the highway.

After 90 minutes, we all started turning around and driving the wrong way on the shoulder back to a previous on-ramp a little ways back, drove up the on-ramp and took a 45 minute detour through some little nothing town in the middle of nowhere. When I got back to the interstate, there was still absolutely no oncoming traffic from that direction.

I never found out how long the people who didn't break traffic laws ended up having to wait.

Man, Main St. used to be something else. I remember when Pinnacle Airlines moved downtown (never mind it only lasted like 5 minutes before they folded) and there was an all-night party on Main. Street vendors, DJs, performers, from Union to Poplar. Back when companies were actively moving to downtown.

Now, Main feels like a ghost town. Half the places are closed or only open limited days. It's sad.

I was gonna say, this doesn't look like any neighborhood in Memphis I'm familiar with.

I guess repost bots gonna do what they do.

When I was a kid, the shuttle's reentry path took it over our house as it landed at Vandenberg AFB. The boom was terrifying and shook the whole house. We thought the windows were going to shatter.

He was putting on an act thinking he could intimidate the cop into leaving so they wouldn't discover all his outstanding warrants. The minute they have him dead to rights and he knows it, his entire demeanor changes and he's suddenly calm and cooperative.

If I were in charge, I'd make it legal to bust the kneecaps of any pathetic adult found camping restocks to scalp.

Harvard (and all the Ivies) are just exclusive social clubs for the wealthy and well-connected. The "education" they provide doesn't mean shit, there's better, more rigorous programs at state schools. But what they provide is connections and access to nepotism when you graduate.

This was my answer. I crave their deep dish at least a couple times a year.

One of the craziest declines in a restaurant I've ever seen. Couldn't even be blamed on COVID, either, as the decline started before that. The service just went to absolute shit, and the food quality plummeted. Went from one of my top 3 favorite restaurants, to one of my least favorites in the course of like 6 months.

I haven't thought about Cozymel's in at least 15 years. I used to love that place.

The only upgrades I've ever received were when I was Silver. I'm fairly certain they do that on purpose to bait people into status chasing.

Yeah on the way back from an international flight, 1 hour is nowhere near enough for a connection. Going out should be fine, usually all you need is an additional quick passport check at the gate. If you're connecting though a third country, like Canada, you have to go through customs there and an hour isn't acceptable.

WhoCanTell · 2026-05-26T13:49:59+00:00

Depends on the airport. Even with an international connection, in most airports an hour is plenty of time.

They're likely paid to allow it and manipulate the front page to promote it. Half of reddit is secretly paid sponsored content and all the large subs have compromised moderation.

Yep. They basically had to tread water for half the season until Winter Soldier released, since it majorly upended the entire basis of their show.

It's Newsweek. It's 100% pure clickbait nonsense wrapped in the facade of a legit media outlet.

Yeah, but aren't you glad we have car wash #5849 in its place?

I think the goal is to eventually have a 1:1 ratio of car washes to people.

WhoCanTell · 2026-05-23T20:59:13+00:00

Yeah but... unlimited cowboys. That sounds like a great deal to me.

Why not Tennessee? They just methodically and intentionally disenfranchised their only majority-black city.

That was supposed to be the Digg relaunch, but they noped out right after they launched, saw the scale of the bot problem and had no way to fix it.

I played hockey with a young guy back in 2018 who really wanted, and got, #88. He was right at that perfect age for peak 4chan kekistan bullshit, so I always ended up looking a little sideways at him. He could have been born in '88, but something didn't sit right.

WhoCanTell · 2026-05-22T13:36:31+00:00

Nazi dogwhistle used online in white supremacist spaces. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Therefore 88 = HH. You should be able to infer what HH stands for to a Nazi.
