I am a millennial and grew up in the time of the family computer being the one computer in the house. My father had an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98 on it, which he replaced some time around 2001/2 (it was a beast of a laptop for its time, but was from before track pads were a thing, so it had the red nub as the built-in mouse). When he replaced it, he let me have the old Thinkpad.

When he was showing me all the cool game demos he collected from mail-in floppys, one of them was for Duke Nukem 3D. It had the entire LA Meltdown part of the game on it. I remember him going into the adult theater, turning to me, and saying, “check this out”. He pressed the space bar, Duke whipped out a few dollars, and said, “shake it baby”. I didn’t understand why a few dollars and a one-liner from an overgrown Bart Simpson would cause a woman to bounce her boobs around, but I think I showed every friend I had those pixelated nipple tassels.

It may have been the first sexualized breasts I had seen in my entire life.

I have been joking with my roommate lately that we’re probably only a decade or so out from landlords putting coin-op toilets in apartments. What a capitalist dystopia it’ll be.

Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.

I think the person you are replying to may have been trying to point out the irony of the Americans who voted for Trump because they don’t want the state spending money on its poor citizens, when they turn a blind eye to the state investing heavily in private industry.

It’s Ohio.

The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard “MAGA” merch is seeing “TRUMP 2028” merch. It’s disturbing how many of those I’ve seen around since the last US election.

There’s an n-word that Republicans tend to use more than other people. However, it is in terrible taste to use it.

A “high IQ individual” is the term Trump used. Of course, it doesn’t take much more than the intellect of a 4 year old to impress him.

I remember hearing apple cores were poisonous when I was in elementary school, and that was before reddit existed. But yes, it is bullshit that they are poisonous.

America

As a fellow American, I can simplify this (Americanize it) even further.

I cannot overstate how dumb Americans are about shopping.

Apologies, I’m just pissed off in general about my country, as I’m sure you are too.

It’s nice to have validation that I am not alone in my childlike weirdness sometimes. You are my kind of people.

Success

If you look at the same section of the ADL website that Pepe is in, you’ll see the first page is just full of simple numbers (symbols are listed alphabetically). I don’t see anyone doing a similar study to the one posted here, but with “100%” instead of Pepe.

Also, side note, ADL lists “ACAB” as a hate symbol because some skinheads are racist and use the phrase. They have a similar disclaimer in the Pepe listing that context is an important consideration.

I feel like the kinds of people who assume every pepe is a symbol of hate are very similar to the kinds of people who assume that all metalheads are satanic. Some are, and some aren’t. It’s an overly reductionist view.

Man, I love frogs. The alt-right can’t take Pepe away from us.

I have watched this man explain the refrigeration cycle, where he dicusses what latent heat of vaporization is in so many videos, so many times over, and I still could not tell you how it works.

But that doesn’t mean he’s not good at explaining it, it just means I have too much of a caveman brain to understand it.

This is definitely one of the best YouTube channels. I should probably consider being a patron, tbh.

If Republicans remove term limits, it would be amazing to see Obama instantly get reelected for a third term in 2028.

That being said, the USA may not get another legitimate election (help us).

If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.

My office uses a Konica Minolta printer and using it is so convoluted
