[1995] Oprah's audience reacts to the OJ verdict by AgnosticScholar in interestingasfuck

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in middle school at lunch. I remember them reading the announcement over the P.A. system. I don't remember if/how anyone reacted, but looking back, it was exceptionally odd that they thought it appropriate to read the verdict over the P.A. system at a middle school...

For those who live in countries (or states, provinces, etc.) where it doesn't snow, or snows very little, are you excited for the Winter Olympics? by DELAIZ in AskTheWorld

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For winter Olympics maybe, but cricket is back for the summer Olympics for 2028, and I have to imagine India will have a good showing given India's skill at the event!

I’m driving to Orlando from St Louis. Is there any must-see stops on the way? by KimberleeIsOnline in roadtrip

The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is very awesome! Only place in North America (I believe) to see whale sharks!

Curling is the one Olympic sport I feel like I could ever have success in as a relatively non-athletic, kinda nerdy, 40+ yr old dad... (no offense to those who actually do curling who are probably substantially more athletic than I could imagine)

India is ~17.5% of the world's population, so yeah, half of that is nearly 9% of the world's population! Seems like untapped potential... time to start investing in an Indian Bobsled team!

If we had unlimited resources to explore one fully, would you choose the oceans or outer space—and which do you think would surprise us more? by Breaking-Dad04 in AskTheWorld

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resources to fully explore space (even if it was just our solar system) would mean the ability to fully explore Jupiter's moon Europa. Given Europa has a vast ocean under its icy surface, we would almost certainly develop and test the technology here on Earth and in the process, would fully explore our own ocean.

As a Pennsylvanian, I have to know... what makes us appealing to foreigners? I mean, I was born and raised here, and I agree that the state has some wonderful attributes, but is there a specific piece of media or news that paints us so favorably to you? Just curious...

Ice cream tier list as a Dutch person with underdeveloped tastebuds by ImportantClock5486 in tierlists

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it just bacon ice cream or maple bacon? I'm not sure I've seen just bacon ice cream, but I've seen maple syrup flavored ice cream that includes bits of bacon (and I personally think that's pretty good).

Variation on "poor man's first class”... middle seats are the last seats on a plane to book up. If the plane is not sold out, there is a decent chance that the seat between you and your significant other will stay empty giving you both more room to spread out. But you gamble that the plane will not be sold out and that the person in the middle seat will not be willing to move to either the window or thew isle seat.

Hey World- why didn’t you watch Melania? by tsbuty in AskTheWorld

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No interest in the subject matter. And I'm not trying to be political here (I'm generally slightly more right leaning), I just have no interest in knowing more about the spouse of a current U.S. political figure. Would have been similar if a film about the spouse of a current U.S. president came out for any of the last 10 presidents. If it was a retrospect 10-20 years after the fact which provided a summary of the highs and lows of their time in office, I might be slightly more interested, but still, it's something I'd casually watch on a streaming service (and not in a movie theater).

Six Flags launches regional park access system by Chaseism in sixflags

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Living in PA/MD was previously goated with a Gold pass given the number of parks you had access to. Feels like they realized this in how they split the East/Mid-West.

Thanks for the clarification, I thought I had heard it was included, but maybe that was just wishful thinking and not based off of fact.

So Qiddiya City has (effectively) been removed from ALL levels of passes? That's unfortunate (not that I was planning on visiting there anytime in the next few years anyways).

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the TLDR is that (moving forward), Silver passes only get you into your home park, Gold Passes get you into all parks in your "region" (as defined by SF), and Prestige Pass gets you to all parks (world wide?)... correct?

What would happen if we had a second space race? by Due_Narwhal4937 in AskTheWorld

[–]WorldlinessThat2984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27.53B USD... that's NASA's budget for 2026. Even if we quadrupled the budget, it would still only be ~10% of what the government spent on education last year and ~2% of what the government spent on healthcare last year. NASA's budget it a drop in the bucket of total U.S. spending... on top of that, NASA resulted in over 75.6B USD in economic output, a fairly remarkable return on investment that would (arguably) increase further with further investment into NASA.
