I remember that my brother acquired the full collection of every single song which had ever been on the top 20 list of songs for a national newspaper. It dated all the way back to the 60's, which is ancient for my brother and I, both born around the early 90s. I never got close to listening to the full thing, but it was awesome to have a collection of songs which basically no one knew existed and be able to choose a random year and pick a popular song from then to listen to.

You could do pretty much the same thing now, but the fact that it's so easily available and accesible kills a lot of the magic.

It's like almond milk, oat milk or soy milk. But when milking spaghetti, the liquid is so clear that we just call it spaghetti water.

Gravity assist with one of the larger planets to make a very narrow orbit seems to be the most efficient way. But you need the planets to align correctly to have an efficient route.

"I'll launch you into the sun once there is an appropriate transfer window to Jupiter" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

The vessel would still have a lot of speed after escaping earth's orbit, so the trajectory would become a large orbit around the sun. You still have to slow down by about ~30km/s (or ~100 000 km/h) to make that orbit intercept with the sun's surface.

Next you're gonna tell me the fish he caught on a fishing trip in '99 was slightly smaller than he described. Outrageous.

Same in Norway with "gift". Also, the same word is used for "married".

Remember that every single one of those creatures are going to vote.

In Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, the number of thieves wasn't really necessarily 40. The number was likely just chosen because 40 was an exaggerated number, much like when we'd say "I've told you a hundred million times". So 40 as a shorthand for "a huge amount" seems fitting in celcius.

It's a unique and magic circle which forms every single time I decide to use public transport.

It's a lot to lose over the mere fact that the headphone jack cable got stuck on door handles and got ripped out of the ears. But I'll concede to that list of issues. I'm sick of several decades of spontaneous and violent loss of audio.

I have an inflatable garden toy - a set of 2 pigs to play a jumbo version of Pass the Pigs. There is a warning on the inflatable toys:

"This is not an inflatable toy."

So I wouldn't ve surprised if Cyber Truck had some similar warning. "This is not a car. Do not allow it to get wet."
