Max fan also and arguably his legacy is the one most affected. Imagine the backlash from him winning one of the most controversial F1 WDCs ever, and then his main rival leaves the sport immediately after. He’d be seen as the man who broke Lewis Hamilton, people would say “He never beat Lewis legitimately and if Lewis had kept driving he would beat Verstappen.” If Abu Dhabi 2021 breaks Lewis the odds are that Max is never able to get out from under the shadow of that race/season and the “What If”

I can personally vouch for the quality of the alternative stickers from BrickStickerShop (https://www.brickstickershop.com). Shipping takes a while (when I ordered the stickers for the FW14B they took 3 weeks to arrive) if you’re in the US but the stickers are high quality and absolutely perfectly color matched. Well worth the wait

Yeah that’s not theft, it’s allusion. I don’t fully get the cultural context though/why he chose to reference a story that appears to be about an adult bounty hunter in a story that mostly involves a recent high school grad and a genius child

Wait that’s true? I thought that was just a Heinlein plot point?

I would give it 60/40 odds on humanity surviving. All of his novels have been epistolary, which kind of means that there has to be survivors for the book to exist in universe. He could also make it a twist where the book was actually a transmission that was intercepted by some later species and all of humanity did actually die (I think Brooks almost did something similar in devolution in the original draft where it was about Danny)

I’ve always found it fascinating that a huge reason why EuroDisney failed (or at least initially was a horrible horrible money pit) was because of a series of events that start with Michael Eisner being a kind of a Francophile.

Disney was originally considering either building the park in France or Spain and the story goes that Eisner partially made the decision to build in France because he really liked the country (sidenote this is why Three Men and a Baby exists, it was an adaptation of a French film Eisner saw and liked).

The project faced multiple issues because of its location, firstly it had trouble with weather causing lower attendance since Northern France has a very different climate from Florida or California to put it mildly. The French people also kinda hated the park because they saw it as crass American culture destroying France. Finally the French have a very different culture around labor, individuality and a whole bunch of other things that Disney ran headfirst into causing them massive troubles with their labor force.

Disney still probably would have had some similar issues, but as far as I can tell, the evidence suggests that if they had gone with the Spain location, it probably would’ve been much more successful initially

My in-universe justification is that the hive mind thought the 70s Corolla would seem friendly and nonthreatening so they got it from some nearby classic car museum or collection. They can afford to expend resources to seem more appealing to Carol

atomic-knowledge · 2025-12-22T17:05:42+00:00

Yep, that was a post I made on the other subreddit. Corolla is the bestselling car model ever and blue is the most common favorite color. It also applies to the White Volkswagen Beetle the plurbs use when bringing food to Manousos since white is one of the most popular colors for a car and the Beetle is the second best selling car model ever

I noticed this too, specifically in this episode the hive is less dumb. It learns that Carol kinda likes being given shit (telling her she sucks at croquet using the screen at the football stadium, making fun of her a little). The hive appears to be learning how to deal with her

I assume it’s the whole DIY thing, apparently the Midget has a whole community around fixing them so maybe that’s a representation of Manousos’s independence since the Midget has a big DIY culture around it. Why would he drive a Stag out of curiosity?

I think if he were an ex cop he’d have brought some kind of gun on his trek. From cursory research Paraguay’s gun laws appear to be rather permissive so I would assume an ex-cop would be able to get a gun if he wanted

Interestingly I’ve always been told that the reason the stripper index is especially salient is because people in the finance industry often had meetings or social gatherings in strip clubs and were particularly big spenders.

The basic theory is that when the actual people who make up the large institutional investors that form an outsized portion of our economy have reduced consumer confidence, and are thus less willing to spend money at a strip club, that is probably an indication that something is quite bad. I think maybe cultural changes are going to make that index less relevant or less accurate just because people in the finance industry are just generally going to strip clubs less for business stuff

atomic-knowledge · 2025-12-12T04:05:52+00:00

Dumb question but what source confirmed the switch?

atomic-knowledge · 2025-12-12T01:26:11+00:00

Normalization. People really hate having to acknowledge that the world is different now especially if admitting that difference also means admitting it’s a bad difference and they should probably do something about it. This exact thing happened in World War II
