@patwayyy @ww_dasilva also hydrogen distribution is a lot harder and more costly than hooking up more high voltage electricity, something we already know how to do pretty well and at scale.

@BuschidoEra @LibidoMariscos @PluginHyBrad Yeah I borrowed a pair of dress shoes from my dad for graduation and they started disintegrating lol

I really can't decide if the sign for Clark's Ottoman Empire being a mid century style one-frame animated neon one is a deliberate anachronism or just a set design flub

70s supergraphics at the Thatcher Park Rec Center in Indianapolis

@Oda_CM @BoneJail it really is. basically impossible to repurpose or preserve too, due to their size and layout*. Not that a lot haven't already closed but I expect them to start really dropping like flies within the next decade.

*aside from that one fire trap of a flea market in pennsylvania

should I cross-promote my blogposts here? Can't hurt. I wrote about the history and redevelopment of a theater in Chicago

@Oda_CM @BoneJail sorry, CW Theater, not CMX. The food counter had about 6 different specialty machines, all (inoperable) remnants of failed marketing gimmicks. Took a solid 10 minutes for the lights to be turned off once the movie started. Dogshit moviegoing experience, but memorable.

[SandstormRefrigerator @Pokemonprimed]

@Oda_CM @BoneJail movie theaters are, funny enough, great examples of this. Thinking fondly of the cheaply rebranded "CMX Theatres" I went to once. Four counters, one staffed, 3 self-check kiosks, all inoperable, but just left in place. Closed a few months after I moved.

@Oda_CM @BoneJail I've maintained that growing up on a backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis is a critical element here. Large new-ish houses being emptied out bc foreclosure, half-finished subdivisions, malls that lose tons of stores really quickly, offices built for 4x the staff.

@ghosthermes @killherbunni No she's talking about people getting into like research peptides and shit I think

[SandstormRefrigerator @Pokemonprimed]

@snoopsbraid @dzyvstheworld @sociopathchan Yeah but it is definitely more altering than nicotine. You can drive after smoking a cigarette, you can't after smoking a blunt.
