No way is “the moon landing was faked” cooler than the fact humans walked on the moon 1961.

Are you starting a new conspiracy theory?

Helpful in showing people that the vast sea of red in the 2016 county-level electoral map doesn't mean it was in any way a blowout

I signed up for the beta back in June but nothing ever came of it. Do I just need to keep waiting?

[edit] never mind, I figured things out

While I've heard variations, like "breet" and "gggweh", they are basically the same

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I don't even care if that's the case. Cars are becoming more like living rooms on wheels and less engaging overall (less about driving and more about being driven), so I don't even care what I drive when the time comes, so long as it isn't a piece of garbage with a shoddily-built interior. Hell, I'd rather just not have a car at all at that point, but we don't have the infrastructure here (in the US) for that.

Is this from The Abominable Charles Christopher?

It's bad enough dealing with crippling depression in a small town, where everyone's going to tell you that A: your condition is a moral failure rather than an illness with physiological underpinnings, B: religion is the answer to your condition, C: (for males, anyway) your condition makes you weak and effeminate, or D: a combination of the above or more likely all of them. Adding those things on top of it is a recipe for suicide.

Oh, I remember this optical illusion from when I was a kid

This could still be an Ohio meme

No, I get it, that song gets lodged in my head all the time too, hi-five

…sometimes, I’ll sing it to myself, raising my hand into the air as I reach the end of the line, and close it into a fist on the “Taurus!” part, like it’s some kind of overly dramatic Broadway horseshit

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's not just science-related videos either; I recently saw a video about the Taurus returning to Ford's lineup, despite the car existing only as a rebadged Mondeo in the Chinese market now, and no such announcements being made anywhere for it to return to the US market

I really wish there was a viable alternative to youtube, it's the only google product I consciously use and it's pure trash
