@ArmoredNorman I think the backrooms are more precisely based on ancient zombie department stores, which most living people have encountered. The original backrooms photo was of a 100-year-old department store after a decades-old furniture store closed.

@Truthful_ast @branpurn @evandi13579b @weewoono Having development projects attempting something like Falcon 9, which may never succeed, isn't equivalent to having a working Falcon 9, and being over a decade behind F9 isn't consistent with being only 4-5 years from having something SpaceX is probably 3+ years from completing.

[Darrell @darrellprograms]

@Truthful_ast @branpurn @evandi13579b @weewoono They're over a decade behind Falcon 9 (still no booster recovery, let alone reuse). They're not going to be hotter on the heels of Starship.

@p0quess1ng Pretty sure it was just a sculpture made from a wrecked motorcycle and miscellaneous scrap. In 1933, they would 100% have filmed it in operation if it were real.

[Darrell @darrellprograms]

@QvisContraNos Honestly, it was probably a hoax/joke around a funny little art project around a scrap small engine. As far as I can tell, there is no record of it other than in a single issue of Popular Science, which gives only one picture and a very brief description.

@MichaelFKane My problem with it is that it's such a small child's silly fantasy that they'd build this huge trap and lure the enemy into it, *as the aggressors assaulting an enemy base*. Saturday morning cartoon level.

@bennymichielsen This, but it's just one guy.

@memeticsisyphus Regular reminder that the actual necessary cost of a university education is 5% of a professor's salary plus 5% rent and utilities on a classroom. (And the respectable thing for a rich philanthropist to do is provide the classrooms so the students don't need to pay for them.)

@D0gWylie @HarmlessYardDog If we don't drain the reserves fast enough, the dinosaurs will finish regenerating and become the tyrants of this world again.

@98833i @SubTerminateJ5 @Rightanglenews Tach could just be non-functional. It is an old truck, and that's not the kind of thing you need to keep working.

@Dgtldead @planefag I also guess it's not implausible that it would just fly off, and in the heat of battle nobody would bother to shoot it or grab it with a tractor beam. I was thinking of it like it would fall back down to the Death Star, but it didn't have to work like that.

@DGoweyAuthor Needs to be treated as theft.

[Darrell @darrellprograms]

@Dgtldead @planefag Never mind being a target, what happens next if the mission succeeds? What happens next if the mission fails? Ejecting isn't going to do him any good, but it's understandable not to think it through in the moment.

@owenbroadcast @athaidad What I've seen on it speaks of this type of judenhut as real historical clothing, originally a self-adopted Jewish tradition, that was later made into required wear in some jurisdictions when outside of designated Jewish areas. I don't think it was invented for illustrations.

[Darrell @darrellprograms]

@Trust_Lion_ Yeah sure, it's that men who are faithful to their wives are social rejects, rather than that corrupt politicians want to keep morally disciplined men away from positions of power.
