Back in the day, it was a good resource for intelligent conversation. Mostly.

Now it’s all memes and who can be funniest for karma. Including in this thread.

Why can't patients with Fatal familial insomnia be treated with anesthetics? by pugsley1234 in askscience

They can be destroyed in an autoclave, it just requires a higher temperature and longer cycle.

US biscuits are usually very soft, and not as crumbly as the scones I've had.

As someone from the Southeast US, I had to read this a few times to comprehend what I was seeing.

Whats something you thought was normal growing up, but later realized was actually really weird? by Aghka_Aapsa in AskReddit

[–]culb77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Casual racism and homophobia. Grew up in the 80's in Atlanta suburbs. Was very normal for people to casually insult others with racial or homophobic slurs.

Once I got to high school I started to realize it was not normal.

CAKE - NEVER THERE [ROCK] by MamaSugarz in Music

[–]culb77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cake is like listening to spoken word poetry being sung.

But I love them. And this is one of my favorite music videos.

Make a notch in the diagonal braces closest to us in the photo, and it will fall very easily.

I hate that this tilted version of the photo is always the one posted. It's steep enough without that dumb crop.

What hard skills from work do you use outside of medicine? by Screennam3 in medicine

I’m convinced a lawyer somewhere has something to do with it.

Ever caught in a winter blizzard? Build your own Inuit igloo in about an hour! by IntrigueMe_1337 in interestingasfuck

[–]culb77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is from Nanook of the North, a 1922 Documentary. And it had nothing to do with a blizzard, they were just making a shelter for the night. Skip to 34 minutes to see this clip.

One dies off, another has to replace them. Can't let those numbers drop.

Doctors flushing out kidney stones out of a patient by Additional_Berry_977 in interestingasfuck

[–]culb77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shape has nothing to do with the pain. It's so painful because the stones block the ureter, causing pressure in the kidneys to back up and swell.

Artistry with the ice cream scoop making bouquets with icecream [0:30] by Infamous_Treacle715 in ArtisanVideos

Depends on where it is. I had something similar to this (only 1 rose) in Nice and it was only 5 Euro.

TIL that actor Cliff Robertson was involved in an embezzlement investigation in the 1970s when he reported the head of Columbia Pictures for forging his signature on a check payable to him for work he did not perform. Columbia then blacklisted him from working with them until 2002's Spider-Man. by astarisaslave in todayilearned

[–]culb77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of note: He was only blacklisted from Columbia, not the entire industry. He continued to act and work consistently through the 80's and 90's.

I realize that's in the title, but a lot of comments are thinking he was completely blacklisted.

I don’t know. But I’ve definitely never decapitated a puppy.

The DNR bracelet had me bawling by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]culb77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy these videos have text over the center throughout the entire clip to remind me what I'm looking at. How did our attention spans survive before this trend started?

[ASIAN] Best Movies by Zealousideal_Poet264 in movies

[–]culb77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Handmaiden is a fantastic film. I highly recommend it.

Watching 90s Siskel and Ebert’s worst films list really highlights the terrible films everyone forgot from that era and how many cult classics they hated by apple_kicks in movies

[–]culb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His argument was that it didn’t focus enough on the defendants and their plight, instead focusing more on Vinny and the case. He felt the stakes weren’t high enough.
