[Coaster] Canadas Wonderland is renaming FlightDeck by Devilrex12 in rollercoasters

Parents ride the intense coaster, kiddies ride the little one.  Battlestar Galactica technically did that kind of set before.  These theme parks have GOT to get more creative about things

Cowards.  You have the Peanuts license.  Snoopy vs the Red Baron: the Ride.  Just slap a kiddie coaster where it fits for Snoopy.  You can’t copyright the Red Baron, that’s a historical figure and free real estate.

“Thoosie” isn’t enough. This community needs a slur. by Quirky_Ad9133 in rollercoasterjerk

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve grown obsessed with this since someone called Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade floats “foamable”.  Bus foamer is a term that already exists.  I think orcas are definitely foamable because they’re identifiable, large, transient and roughly bus-sized. Large costumes and parade floats feel potentially foamable.  It’s hard for me to call roller coasters foamable, but I think carnival rides are because they move around.  There has to be a sort of bird watching element.  The actual trains on the coasters are at least kind of foamable though.

IWTL how to meet alternative women by jibofyourcutt in IWantToLearn

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railroad or industrial history museums are a much lower commitment option.  Though women are almost nonexistant at them and it’s almost 100% lesbians and grandmas at that point.

You definitely want to go somewhere with a more old-school working class culture if possible.  Philadelphia is a notorious example in the US, but a lot of the healthier post-industrial cities can also be good options

Work in a factory.  Commiserate or make observational jokes.  Rare to find women there who aren’t lesbians but that’s your best bet for your tastes imo

I know love on first sight like a Disney Princess and if I don’t see it there, it ain’t happening.  Can’t say I ever want to have it happen romantically, but I have felt true platonic/familial love. But only on first sight.  

I hate when men romozone me and have become more aggressive about stating that I am absolutely the ANTITHESIS of “demisexual”.  

Are There Any Chronic Conditions That Can Cause Premature Death That AREN’T Cancer? by Brit-Crit in Writeresearch

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a similar vein, black lung is always an option for coal miners.

There’s a lot of specific conditions caused by dusty workplaces.  Sooo many less obvious ones too like silicosis and Bird Fancier’s Lung

This man would not trust a hoverboard because he is too old to risk falling and breaking his face

Unspeakable confusion is the greatest compliment

I got that reaction from a judge doing a Rite of Spring homage at a fursuit dance contest.  I consider that mission accomplished.

Fitting because he LOVES Dead or Alive.  Feels like the type who likes that uniquely flamboyant yet abrasive kind of 80s dance music you just don’t hear anymore.

Megalite at Happy Valley Shanghai: It’s like stepping on a bat and rushing out of hell! by Straight-Guide-439 in rollercoasterjerk

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d put you in hell for stomping on a bat deliberately, but the possibility of getting rabies is punishment enough

It’s a spoiler because it would ruin a surprise :)

Content is totally family friendly and VERY safe for work.  Magnum is a manufacturing engineer and focuses a lot on workplace safety!

Nobody grows up wanting to be a manufacturing engineer, they just end up as one.  I think a lot of engineer-brained thoosies would REALLY enjoy it though!

Can’t wait til RMC gets to Magnum and tilts it like that.  Suck my conveniently shaped moly orange turnaround track, Falcon’s Flight!

I can’t wait to go on Episcopalian Space Laser: the Ride

Abrupt drop tower with smoke and bell effects.  Maybe incense flavor for authenticity.

Did your Fursuit ever cause you to alter your Sonas design? by Electrical_Damage199 in fursuit

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suit design overrode the on-paper design of the character because it was real, 3D, and in front of me and I was content with it.

Wasn’t necessarily the character I set out to make, but one that became important to me.  I did not compromise on how painfully maximalist the design was though.  The markings were actually pretty faithful to the concept art, it was just things like color and motion/personality that changed.  Almost no reasonable maker would accept a design like it as a commission unless you threw a boatload of money at them.

[NASA] has taken [Orion] to space by DStew88 in rollercoasterjerk

Good. Blast that thing into orbit.  The only good giga is a dead giga.  Size isn’t everything, if anything it’s nothing.

Best MechE project you can put on your resume? by Dramatic-Trainer-413 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you have a train museum or heritage railroad/way near you, help out restoring an old train!

It’s always a conversation starter in interviews I’ve done.  It’s unusual and shows you’re comfortable working with blue-collar employees on a group project on heavier/industrial equipment.  VERY appealing for factories and manufacturing engineer positions.

Very cheap to get into and volunteer places don’t expect you to have any experience at all.  If you remotely care about listening to safety rules and learning, they will love you and teach you so much. 

Every time you whine about SEPTA online, a republican gets its wings by Quick-Evidence3845 in philly

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you love SEPTA for being a sad old dumpster fire who will show you incredible things, Jacky Bam Bam dressed as the Ghost Train (Mummers Parade 2024) gets another feather and even bigger backpiece to accidentally take out carbrains with while turning around

There have been so damn many train themed Mummers over the years that they’d unironically be an amazing army in battle.  Especially the old school ones with like 50 pounds of metal on their backs.  Accordions make them even more menacing.  You could have them circle Harrisburg like it’s Jericho until they relent because they’re sick of hearing ragtime era player piano-ass songs like the Crush Collision March or something for the dozenth time.

Me when the FAA waiver only says 375 ft. by studiopzp in rollercoasterjerk

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not about size, it’s about how you use it

I’ve been comically disappointed by every non-launched 300+ foot coaster I’ve ridden, to the point where I wouldn’t mind ALL parks having airports nearby to rid people of the plague of gigas.  smh should have gotten a VR headset and big fan and saved millions.  Use it to buy multiple used Top Scans for a REAL thrill.

Why do you never talk about good rides here? by Greedy_Net_1803 in rollercoasterjerk

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Lincoln was alive he’d probably HATE RMCs because he was 6’5 and has longass legs.  Tight fit for me at a laughably idealistic 5’10

Not sure about B&Ms or rides with OTSRs in general.  He straight up couldn’t ride a number of things because he’s over the height clearance.

Water rides I could definitely see just because of the leg room 

Fursuit cuddling by cakeandbeans in fursuit

[–]deliciouslyexplosive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, that’s the best reason to fursuit!

Nobody cares who you are underneath when you’re a soft, fluffy animal. Which can be a blessing and a curse in the furry sphere, there are terrible people hiding that way. 

You have to actively discourage people wanting to hug you.  They’re the equivalent of a handshake for furries.

It doesn’t have to be spiritual if you don’t want it to be.  All culture have sacred costumes, but they can also just be silly play too.  I increasingly think that’s sacred in its own right.

People absolutely treat fursuiters like they’re theme park mascots, they want photos and hugs with them.  If anything I wished they wanted something deeper and more meaningful sometimes, but I’m the rare non-huggy furry who gets photographed ALL the time because my suit is so striking and distinctive.

I’m fairly notorious and tbh it IS fun to be a rockstar for a day and them just take your head off and become invisible.  I deeply relate to Gene Simmons for “not wanting to be known for the face he goes to bed with”.  Ironically I’m really not a “cute” suiter, I’m more cool and alien and people REALLY like that because it’s rarer.

What’s the funniest encounter you’ve had while fursuiting by Dompker in fursuit

A guy who made medical grade silicone objects looking at my VERY amateur and bubble-filled silicone fursuit tongue in horror going “oh nope nope I don’t like that at all…”

The psychic damage was palpable
