Reminds me of when one of the local news channels in my city did a story about how viewers were blowing up the station's phone claiming to see a ghost moving about in view of the station's outdoor weather camera. They did some investigating and it turned out a spider had built its web across the camera's lens. The "ghost" was in fact the spider showing up as an out-of-focus grey blob moving across the camera view.

Yeah, approaching planes with their landing lights on look like points of (relatively) stationary light when they're far away, but as they get closer the lights are angled away from your field of vision and are less intense, and it's obviously a plane.

I live near an airport and to this day I still mistake approaching planes for bright stars.

Yeah, those Kraft slices can't be called cheese, at least not officially.

I don't even think they should even be called "slices" because I'm pretty sure they're injection molded into that shape and not sliced off a block like real cheese would be

Lmao when I was like 8 I attempted to make my own pizza using bread dough and spaghetti sauce. I topped it with Kraft yellow slices because my kid-brain assumed "cheese is cheese."

I regretted it on the first bite.

The one cool thing he did was not stop the guy who robbed the small business tyrant.

I'm sure if any anti-fascist rhetoric was taught alongside it would be framed in an "ackshualee, Hitler and Mussolini were leftists" sort of way.

A ton of people already push the "did you know Nazi means National SOCIALISM?" line.

Motherfuckers saying "diagreements" like this guy got killed over his pizza topping or ice cream preferences or something.

The news media has gotten so soft and politically correct these days. Can't even call for the death of the wealthy anymore without someone getting offended.

Ah, so that's why AT&T stopped fiber upgrades in my town in 2022 or last year. Which is disappointing to say the least, and I live on a main road too.

Hopefully this won't lead to Spectrum (my current provider) shuffling their feet on implementing high split service, now that their main competitor is opting for inferior 5G home internet for half their customers. High split would allow for symmetrical upload/download and faster than gigabit speeds.

I'm guessing it was some kind of astrology thing. People used to blame deaths on planets and stars being in certain areas of the sky.
