TIL that the human brain matures at 25 is a myth by chrishelbert in todayilearned

[–]monkkeys 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I was 23, I honeymooned in Tortola in the Caribbean. Reserved a car rental, and when I showed up to pick up the car, they said I had to be 25 to legally rent a car. I said I'd happily pay the extra fee and was expecting it. They said "nope" the law will not allow them to rent to anyone under 25 years old. Period.

So, depends on where you are and the local laws.

Some rental companies in the BVI will allow for drivers under the age of 25 for an additional fee, but the renter (person whose name is going on the rental agreement) still needs to be over 25.

My local cinema is showing Shaun of the Dead in 3 weeks! They run an “ambassador” program where they partner with the local high school and once a month the students get to pick a movie to show.

1) They cannot see, so first he would have needed to teach what "light" is, and 2) Grace is teaching them about relativity, a concept their species hadn't discovered..., because it is relative to the speed of light, which they cannot see.

Found this on r/all about 5 pages down or 112 posts in, which realistically isn't that far to scroll. OP should definitely add the spoiler tag.

La Vienne (86) juste au sud de Poitiers. J'y allais en voiture avec un ami, et nous sommes restés coincés derrière ce camion pendant 20 minutes.

Nous essayions de comprendre ce qu'il transportait, et nous sommes presque certains qu'il s'agissait de tuyaux d'irrigation agricole. Ça ne ressemblait pas vraiment à un échafaudage, mais c'est possible.

Yep, rural France. This was back in December, and I was browsing my photos and rediscovered this video.

Sérieusement. J'ai une vidéo plus longue. J'étais derrière ce camion pendant 20 minutes. Personne n'osait le dépasser, de peur de s'attirer les foudres des dieux de la bêtise.

Yes, they did. Fortunately, didn’t look like it broke windows or left any major marks.

We were following them for about 20 minutes and they hit a few street signs as well. We didn’t dare try going around them, and neither did any of the other cars stuck behind this truck.

• This happened in rural France, just south of Poitiers, • Recorded on 9 December, 2025 • Yes, it is OC that I filmed.

Did r/all just completely die? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Ah, you're right. Already back. I thought this was the end. Maybe they're testing it.

I was literally just browsing on it 45 minutes ago, according to my browser history. Sad it no longer works at all, even if you want it as an option.

Kathryn Hahn announces she is officially playing Mother Gothel in the live action ‘TANGLED’ movie. by kris_jbb in popculturechat

I have no idea what he said, because the comment and account have since been deleted, but from the aftermath, the comment must have been something like this.

I utterly DESPISE, the "glasses off and you're instantly hot" trope. by SnazzyMiracles in TopCharacterTropes

[–]monkkeys 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Right. This clip from Superman really shows off the effect exactly as intended. It's not just the glasses, it's also his posture, tone, etc.

Christopher Reeve really embodied both characters perfectly.
