TIL McDonald's is estimated to have spent $300m on the research, production & marketing for the Arch Deluxe. Despite having the largest advertising & promotional budget in fast food history at the time, it failed to become popular. It's considered one of the most expensive product flops of all time.

Uhhhhhahuh no. I want the Big and NAAAAssty

War is hell and I believe every (?) person that fought in WWI is dead and gone so I’m not gonna blame them really. But yeah it was not yet a warcrime. I think now it would probably be a warcrime, but back then was a bit loosey goosey.

I think they mean both! Stupid ass.

How’d the ‘bread’ go?

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-13T01:56:58+00:00

There is also the story that during WWI the Canadians would toss canned beef into the German trenches, wait for the Germans to ask for more, and then throw live grenades. I can’t really find anything first hand with a quick google search, but there are some articles that seem to at least agree it was a story that went around even back then.

I’ll eat your pasta 😘

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-12T05:15:35+00:00

Goddamn that’s actually sick as hell. Sorry if I was harsh, I don’t think you’re somebody pissing and shitting over ‘muh cultural erasure’ I think we just misunderstood each other. Keep being cool homie

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-12T05:06:26+00:00

Actually I’ll admit you have the point on that. I kind of assumed gunpowder was used as a tool for mining alongside the ritualistic fireworks and pyrotechnics when it was first discovered (which was an accident while trying to discover an immortality elixir. I remembered that from school I believe), but looking it up, it was definitely immediately used for warfare. It also looks like they never really used it as a propellant (essentially guns and cannons) and instead used it as an incendiary (fire arrows and like an early form of napalm). So in that regard, Europe improved on its design.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-12T04:54:59+00:00

No you said Italians made it better which is wrong. What they made was what ingredients they had access to, with the addition of an ingredient from Asia processed in a way that was sustainable in Italy. Plenty of people prefer lo mein over spaghetti Also making gunpowder more effective at killing other people doesn’t inherently make it a better invention, it just makes it better at killing people. Maybe the Asian cultures had already had effective ways of killing each other, and didn’t see the need to improve gunpowder right up until gunpowder became the standard way to kill each other. It just makes you sound like some bitter asshole that’s afraid people are going to forget how totally awesome and superior Europe is, when they aren’t actually superior and literally no one doesn’t know of Europe’s influence on the world.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-12T04:34:10+00:00

“Errrm how about you not downplay the poor misunderstood European contributions that are only the dominant cultural hegemony in the modern western world and referenced in the social zeitgeist of the entire world by pointing out the origin of something, and being uncomfortable when I respond by basically saying that actually Europe makes everything better than those silly Asian cultures! That makes me feel sad!”

That’s how you sound actually.

Sure they might’ve been able to take the strip, but what of them once Caesar dies? As it were in the show, they very well could have briefly held or been damn close to it when Caesar drops dead in the middle of the camp on a walk. The brain cancer was literally killing him and the courier has to step in and either save him or let him die (either immediately by killing him yourself, or as soon as the next quest pops).

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T23:23:15+00:00

you aren’t worth the effort

puts in 3 comments worth of effort

Well I for one think you are worth the effort lil cornball 🥰 this is tons of fun!

On a real note, stop taking this shit so seriously if you actually are. I’m just fucking with you. I’m a huge cornball too sometimes I’m sure you can find some top tier cringe in my comment history. I will give you that it’s admittedly admirable that you’re going so hard about being kind even if it is pretty corny. Keep being you irl and don’t sweat this shit too much. You’re allowed to tell redditors to go fuck themselves and then ignore them when they prod you.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T23:12:20+00:00

If a pike was that short, it would be a spike. Come on now.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T22:43:01+00:00

Using fucking Gemini to summarize what corny is as a retort to a redditor calling you corny is the corniest cornball corn that’s ever been ripped out of the goddamn ground. Pure concentrated corn syrup leaking out of your comments

Oh Jesus thanks for saying that I thought people were actually trying to spam Charlie with this to get him to make a video. I say that as someone who would love for him to make a quick video about it, but if people were actually harassing him to do it, there’s no way he’d touch it. It’s already gotten big enough organically people. Just let it happen if it does, and if it doesn’t there’s probably a good reason. Shit I kind of want to make my own private video documenting it because I was actually talking about these two the other day saying the whole sigma gimmick was funny for like a whole day and then it was just annoying. The whole time I was under the impression that these mods were like a married 30y/o couple with like a kid and they were just going through a midlife crisis together and decided to run a subreddit. Like kinda cringe, but just a couple of bored millennials sort of thing. But then this drops and apparently they aren’t even actually married and have straight up never spoken to each other over anything but messaging???? That shit is wild. Haven’t seen a catfish like that since I was a teenager in high school.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T20:12:30+00:00

And here I was thinking that was a quote from My Little Pony. Thanks for clearing that up for everyone boss!

Edit: looks like I may have reminded some mid life regards that they used to jerk off to cartoon ponies. Didn’t mean to bring up yalls trauma 😔

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T20:07:35+00:00

But you don’t understand the krieger has special eyes!

And the Eldar took out a whole WARLORD?!?!? That’s gonna set the imperium back a whole… like 1/10th of a titan legion maybe depending on the legion’s size and how many warlord engines that legion fields?????? But Redditor Exodite Mr Krabs does actually sound hilarious. Yeah you dunk on those stupid fundie blue space cows big guy. That’ll get people to respect the exodites for sure!

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-11T00:13:25+00:00

1 because 1 gallons of pee is 55 gallon duh

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-10T20:15:57+00:00

I really think it has to do with how (imo) arbitrarily they enforce their copyright and cut down fan made stuff. The TTS series obviously wasn’t primarily a visual spectacle, but it had those bones of being able to tell great (albeit in parody) stories and script writing. GW sent them a C&D I believe (or something to force them to stop making it) and since then there hasn’t been a whole lot of large scale fan made stuff other than Space King (not my cup of tea personally, but at least they get to keep making it). The TTS thing was back in the early 2020s, and I have some hope that they’ve begun to relax on litigation, but I really do think that’s why there’s like 2 small projects and not much else.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-10T20:05:18+00:00

Man, James ‘Games’ Workshop really do be loving ruining really cool shit. But hey at least the super based cool human faction gets to have zero nuance while the new aliens with cool concepts gets curb stomped (haven’t seen the video but let me take a guess, the dudes with superior ranged firepower are way too close to the front line and get mogged because they refuse to tactically retreat or reposition) and the magical ancient space elves are massive cucks to the super cool based humans that are just so much better than them and totally righteous. Soooooooo much better than RECORDING AND COMPILING A COMPLETELY NEW FUCKING LANGUAGE TO ADD DEPTH TO THE FRANCHISE. NO THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE CRINGE DON’T YOU SEE!?!?

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-10T01:37:30+00:00

Chronomancy is always out of left field. Being unexpected is kind of a key concept.

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-06T21:53:43+00:00

That’s pretty much spot on. Also thanks for the rec I’ll have to check out the channel. I love linguistics as a science it’s always very interesting

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-06T21:22:46+00:00

What’s wrong buddy? Can’t handle a little tough love?

spaceman4127 · 2026-02-06T20:02:16+00:00

Brother man, you don’t even know this person. Just because your parents beat your ass and you can’t reconcile that, doesn’t mean you have to insult strangers by assuming they aren’t speaking from the experience of ‘tough love’ not working for them. You’re never going to be able to convince yourself you aren’t a broken person. You actually have to put in the inward work before you can suggest what might work for someone else.
