This is in a lot of shows and not just sitcoms, but I hate contrived argumentative dialogue that's set up so that the protagonist always gets the last word with "witty" responses/comebacks. It's like watching a "I'm the attractive Chad and you are the ugly NPC" meme in real time.

Every time the weather goes out of whack, some huge torrential storm or freak wildfire, people (particularly chuds who think climate change is a hoax) will be quick to say it's weather modification or HAARP or some shit.

I always loved the idea of the massive, galaxy-spanning Jedi Order being reduced to just Yoda and Obi Wan, and with both of them dead by the end of the trilogy, Luke is their only hope to rebuild it.

All these Jedi survivors that keep getting introduced in the shows really cheapened Luke's character arc IMO. What's the point of acting like Luke is the only one to continue the Jedi legacy if there are about 5 dozen Jedi bopping around elsewhere? (Although I'm sure they could retcon it and say Luke is the only one who can unite them all.)

If Disney wanted more movies and shows with more lightsaber shit, they could have easily made something that takes place a couple hundred years in the past (the Jedi have supposedly been around thousand of years). Why cram all of the new storylines within a ~30 year time span and have them all include or revolve around the Skywalkers in some way?

That's Cornados' slogan and I think they print that on all their bags, not just the American Burger ones.

New Zealand is out-Americaing America.

"You can drink it and not get sick."

"OK, drink some."

"You're a jerk!" leaves

Why do the TITLES for these videos HAVE randomly capitalized WORDS?

My dad would constantly call me "loser" and other deprecating shit when I was still living with him and my mom in my early 20s. Even when i was making pretty good dough (but still not enough to live on my own) and was paying them a few hundred dollars a month, buying all my own food and paying 100% of the Internet bill.

I don't miss that at all. I feel for people who have no choice but to be in that predicament.

Yeah, the DeLorean looks like a typical sports car of its time. Cybertruck looks out of place in all the eras.

Anthropologists say prehistoric human skeletal remains with mended leg bones are one of the earliest signs of human civilization.

In almost all animals, even herd species, a broken limb is essentially a death sentence because they can't get to food and water, or escape from predators or find shelter. Even a solitary person in the modern day can't survive for very long if they can't find help.

The fact that ancient human remains have been found with mended bones means that the person had help immobilizing their broken leg, and were protected and fed while it healed.

I always use seconds as an allegory to dollars when I explain to people the difference between thousand, million and billion (I did the number crunching in my head and rushed it, so if I made any errors lemme know).

1000 seconds = 17 minutes

100,000 seconds = 27 hours

1 million seconds = 11 days

1 billion seconds = 31.70 years

148 billion seconds (Bezos' net worth) = 4693 years
