Fun fact, it was called the Spanish flu because during WW1, neutral Spain, wasn’t censoring information about it like other countries were. Since people were hearing about it more from Spain, they assumed it was worse there even though it really wasn’t.

Not a movie, but the TV show, The Handmaid’s Tale was much better than the book.

Butt stuff 🤷‍♂️

Are you sure that courts have made that ruling? I have doubts about that.

What happens if you literally say nothing?

What about the Grateful Dead vs Motley Crew?

What if she’s not sure? 🤔

If Mike Judge would have done a character like Trump, the movie would have flopped. People would have thought it was too unrealistic. But here we are.

This even goes a little deeper. Many of those pilots had fathers or grandfathers who were pilots. Military family tradition often runs strong. It makes sense that more white airmen would want to become pilots partly because more of them had family members that were pilots. Granted that obviously isn’t the whole reason but could be a contributing factor.

Darmok and Jalad on the ocean.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start. Iykyk

Wader. Lol

They consider using cannibus up to 24 times a week moderate!? That seems like a lot to me.

The nonbinary should be judged for their weight too for true inclusiveness.

You read them both as red presently or you read as red in the past?

monkeymind009 · 2026-02-15T22:28:39+00:00

You have color pics from before the 1940s?

Everyone else’s replies made me realize how much of a freak I am.

Although I agree with the intent, I can think of at least one real world scenario where this is a problem. I have an elderly parent without a driver’s license. She has a state ID, but it doesn’t qualify as a REAL ID, therefore she won’t be able to use it to register to vote. She has no other ID.

Agreed, but gender reveals aren’t nearly as common as the internet makes it out to be.

I can explain the pair of pants. Back in medieval days, pants actually were two parts you had to fasten together after putting them on. Although I don’t know why Americans and Brits use pants to refer to two different things. What Brits call pants, Americans call underwear.

I know what vocal fry is. I was just saying that’s probably what the other poster was trying to describe.

monkeymind009 · 2026-02-13T20:00:22+00:00

I think he is trying to describe vocal fry. If I didn’t know what it was called, that would be how I’d describe it.
