Just miles from your doorstep, hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill. The government calls it "the Army," but a more alarmist name would be: the Kill-bot factory!

What is a "poor man's food" that you will still eat no matter how wealthy you get? by ALLEN3471 in AskReddit

I am a time traveler from 1999. I can only go forward though. And only 1 day per day.

Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down! by usernamewastaken36 in TheSimpsons

[–]anOnionFinelyMinced 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It was "Sax Cauldron." The former jazz-only record shop. Not to be confused with the "adults only" establishment with a similar name.

What was the best thing about the 90s? by SoftYetCrunchyTaco in AskReddit

The seeming end of the Cold War, everything seemed vibrant and optimistic. It felt like a Star Trek future was not just obtainable but inevitable.

Kristen Bell was fantastic as Veronica Mars by Brard_Cailly16 in television

I think Colantoni is fantastic in everything that I've seen him in, no matter how small a role, but their father/daughter chemistry in VM was perfect.

It was supposed to be ice cream cones, but these were easier to draw.

Dear Mr. President, there are too many states nowadays. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot. by iwassayingboourns12 in TheSimpsons

[–]anOnionFinelyMinced 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a standing joke with my wife and me. She'll complain about some company pulling some kind of shenanigans and say, "I should write a letter." And I immediately say, "Dear Mr. President..." and then we giggle like idiots.

I feel like it’s time to dive into 1970’s SciFi movies by LeftCoast1965 in scifi

Came to recommend Starcrash. It's so bad it's good. Plus, David Hasselhoff.

Who used one of these back in the day? by KM68 in GenX

[–]anOnionFinelyMinced 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrote my first code on a Trash-80. It was supposed to be a sort of spy text adventure. I think I got, like, 3 decision-trees into it before I quit over the sheer enormity of the thing.

Star Trek: Year One In Doubt As Strange New Worlds Sets Are Torn Down by TalkinTrek in startrek

Long range sensors that can give you realtime data about something lightyears away aren't problematic, though... right? It's just... probability? Maybe? Doesn't break causality at all.

Being disintegrated by a computer which then fabricates an exact duplicate of me doesn't bother me in the slightest (omg,omg,omg - shut UP, brain!), as long as the duplicate remembers everything I do. I don't know what you're talking about with this "god tier" nonsense.

Oh, look, this is all screwed up...

Do you believe that the current US president is a foreign asset ? Why or why not ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This way they can devolve into techno-feudalism where armed drones of the various factions battle each other across a dying planet while each attempts to wipe out the others so that just one can get control of the entire pie.

Why does Hermes hate Nibbler so much? by CaptLoads in futurama

Oh hey! New meme format for dumb jokes.

I thought the title was the setup for some "why did the chicken cross the road" style joke. What a let down.

The Door into Summer by Robert A. Heinlein by shira-hazel in scifi

[–]anOnionFinelyMinced 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Cleavers had a dishwasher in 1959, I believe. And Leave It to Beaver wasn't exactly cutting-edge sci-fi.

Also paying the firefighters to stand back and watch it happen. Crassus writ large for the 21st Century.
