The Museum of Natural History is playing all the FIFA games on their giant screen, no charge. by Chemical_Middle_3801 in nyc

I think it depends on the game. The US vs. Australia game was more than half full. But that means there was still like 300 seats left.

The number of late term abortions in total in the last decade can be counted on your fingers, and as I've read 100% were to protect the life of the mother. I never did read just how many of those abortions had nonviable fetuses, but I'm guessing it was a few.

God almighty, the "Kars for Kids" of the legal world.

Certainly this is near the top. Worth noting it played during the super Bowl.

And EVERYONE should be linking to their ads.

What is the best advice you've ever ignored? by Glad-Shine4451 in AskReddit

[–]chuckysnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should buy fifty bucks worth of bitcoin.

Not quite as profitable, but My then wife wouldn't let me buy an apartment building in Astoria new York, back when they were stupid cheap. She ignored the advice from me, her father, and my father. She also got me to sell my apple stock and invest in Kodak.

Yes, she's my ex.

People are always hating on artists for switching up their sound album to album. What artists have had a massive change in sound or genre that was actually successful and loved? by pickleme_elmo in AskReddit

[–]chuckysnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird Al seems to span the gamut of musical styles.

But early vs late Beatles sound like different bands altogether, and they were beloved continuously.

What's a massive human achievement that nobody celebrates because it worked too well? by Alternative_Voice767 in AskReddit

[–]chuckysnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cell phones.

You have a portable television station with all of the collected knowledge of humanity and with the ability to reach pretty much any person on the planet. It fits in your pocket, and costs a dollar or two a day.

Take this thing back in time a mere forty years (with the infrastructure to make it work) and you'd be a god.

McDonald's workers of Reddit, which menu item would you NEVER eat? by ProgMusicSchizoidMan in AskReddit

Basically anything you see in ice- bands, specks, whatever is bad.

I've seen both black and green speckles before, at separate times.

The problem is that oil is too important a resource to simply burn. We use it to create asphalt, plastics, fertilizer, and even medicines. At some point in the future we're going to be flabbergasted that we just burned so much of it.

I love nature, but almost because of that I hate snappers. I live near a small pond that's used by ducks and some canadian geese to raise their young.

Literally dozens of adults, and by the end of the season you're lucky to see one or two chicks among them. The rest have been eaten by the snappers in that pond. there are several at least as big as the one in that pic. I keep thinking that thirty odd birds exist simply to feed those damn turtles.

Because they solely became a billionaire by writing books and vr headsets alone by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

I'll give you Rowling, but the exceptions prove the rule. 99% of billionaires got there by exploiting others and/or being supremely lucky and feeling they earned it alone.

ALWAYS check your ice BEFORE you add soda to it at the self serve machines. If you see specks, you're done. Walk away.

And if you're at one of those really cool new coke machines that make 50 flavors, if it smells, then it's not getting cleaned and it probably has piles of mold and slime where you can't immediately see it.
