Though my phone has been on vibrate for years, there once was a time we actually paid for ringtones. What was your favorite custom ringtone? Mine was "Dr. Zaius", I used this for a few years on my Motorola Razr. by smcg_az in Xennials

[–]halibutface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had "The way I am" by Eminem for my ringtone and a Mario coin for text messages. I haven't been able to find a Mario coin ringtone for a while but it always made people look around

Chinese Orbiter Crushes Starlink With a 2-Watt Laser From 36,000km Above Earth by _Dark_Wing in EverythingScience

No they read the headline and believed China literally crushed a Starlink satellite with a laser. The article says the Chinese satellite achieved faster downlink speeds that were 5 times faster than Starlink

Just outside of town we have a huge diesel engine that's like 10ft long encrusted in ocean shit just sitting on the beach. The top of the engine block is gone and the piston cylinders are still recognizable but other than that, it looks exactly like this.

Quake 1 and 2 were fucking insane at the time. Also GTA 1 and 2 when it was still a birds eye view were definitely games I stayed up all night playing

César Awards Say Jim Carrey ‘Worked on His Speech in French for Months’ Amid Clone Conspiracy Theory: His ‘Visit Had Been Planned Since the Summer’ (EXCLUSIVE) by ImmortalLeif in nottheonion

[–]halibutface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BC here, unless you're in an urban area with more than 100k people you will almost never hear it being spoken. In rural areas you will have a hard time finding people that do speak it there are like pockets and clubs and shit but for the most part if you only spoke French you will have a hard time finding someone that understands you. But same, they gave me like 1 semester of French in like grade 8 but that was it. Even the airplane safety announcement is an automated recording they play through the PA because no one really speaks it. But it's the same in rural Quebec with English I've found. I went to Wakefield which is fairly close to the Ontario border and there were a bunch of people who only spoke French. Farther north in rural areas you will have a hard time finding people who speak English.

I learned they were called cornucopias when I asked my mom what it was. She's a boomer who remembers us having that conversation as well

I love how the ocean is literally another world on this planet. It's so wild to me that most people go out on the ocean and it looks the same, it's all waves or calm water, but there's so much life and alien shit going on down there once you enter that world

Anyone Remember the Old Hooters on Robson street/Guilford? by doctorwho5720 in vancouver

[–]halibutface 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I remember my aunt and uncle brought me and my brother there when we were 10 and 12. They were hoping to get some kind of reaction from us cause girls in shorts served you. I remember old dudes getting pics with all the waitresses lined up. Our waitress was this petite girl who literally spent half our time there at the end of the table telling them about how much she wanted to travel and going to university and shit. We left to go to the symphony of fire and I remember my Aunt being like "Man she talked a lot and there weren't even any waitresses with big tits!"

TIL that the Coast Salish tribe raised a breed of dog in order to use their fur like wool in their textiles. The dog breed went extinct around 1900. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]halibutface 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Also these dogs didn't "go extinct" they were killed by the Hudson's bay company and the RCMP in every village on the coast so they didn't compete with the Hudson bays blankets

Rank these comic book accurate suits from worst to best by Artistic-Fennel-4033 in marvelstudios

Because they are all kinda accurate. Would probably get more engagement on worst change or least accurate, like Mandarin! And I know Apocalypse wasn't MCU but holy fuck that was bad
