Damn, that goal post shifted in a single comment!

Those aren’t the eggs I’m looking for.

However, could you assist me in locating a ham?

And we are very CLOSE to winning! Just some more brave soldiers will die, but that’s what happens in war. We have secured victory and are winning and will win!

There’s a guy on YouTube who makes videos of running a mower engine on various things, and holy shit I’m surprised nobody has gotten a mower to run on pure grass yet…

It’s a 90s truck, and the newest vehicle I’ve ever let sit that long is from the mid-00s.

Guess I’ve just been lucky with how my gas has gone bad?

I own a regular gasoline truck. It once spent over a year sitting in a driveway with no battery or driveshaft, and a half filled tank of gas.

After putting in a new battery and drive shaft, I didn’t remember how much gas was in it anymore, so I took my 2gal can and put abiut half in to get it started.

No issues starting beyond the usual no gas primed in the line or fuel rail, so it took a second, and I drove it for about 50 miles before stopping at a gas station.

I have also never once swapped the gas in my mower after letting it sit all winter.

I understand that gas degrades, I just have never had gas that sat long enough to go bad I guess? I don’t think 1 gallon of gas would “fix” 15 gallons of bad gas…

Does it come with a drink cooler?

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

You can just buy keys.

I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.

I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

I’ll be honest… I dislike it.

I am glad tons of people love it and have all kinds of fun with it!

It’s just not my cuppa.

That’s okay, you can be wrong, I won’t judge you.

It certainly has its slow moments, but overall it’s a good movie, I think.

I want more alt history retro-future style movies.

This one and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow are neat.

I tried watching sky captain and she fell asleep. How can you fall asleep while watching a p51 mustang fight giant flying robots?

This man single handedly answered the greatest question of our generation:

“How neat is that?”

Never watched it high, but I have a goal for this weekend now,!

I love this movie. It’s in my category of “I didn’t say it was high cinema, I said it was fun!” movies.

Okay look, I have a large piece of old leather I’ve been meaning to make into pieces for my Renfaire outfit, I have dozens of pieces of steel that are waiting to become knives and other tools, there’s 20-something 3d projects in various states of unfinished on my laptop, and I’ve got 3 large woodworking projects on hold.

Of course I can start hyperfixating on a new project!

I once had the opportunity to take a really nice microscope from a school district I was working for when I was 18.

I was working on sorting all the old curriculum for 1st-12 grades core subjects for disposal/recycling and then receiving new stuff.

They were updating the entirety of all science departments and the highschool was getting rid of their old microscopes. The ones that were in working order were to be placed aside for donation, and the non-working ones simply tossed in the dumpsters.

I was allowed to take whatever I wanted that was to be thrown away, but I figured I didn’t want to spend time and money tracking down the right bulb to fix the best non-working one, and decided not to take one.

Current me is cursing younger me because I could have easily swapped out the light with a LED, and even if I couldn’t, there were LITERALLY microscopes with broken optics and working lights, and I could have just taken one extra one for parts…

Young me was dumb.

I did snag a mostly-complete rock sample set for demonstration of various geology testing techniques. Also a fist-sized chunk of silicon.

So I wasn’t completely dumb.

I have forgotten about a concert after paying for the tickets, I have forgotten about super important plans and didn’t even send a text to the person I had them with until about 6 hours later (in fairness I never even got a text or call from them in that time, just a “where were you, I waited” when I called to apologize) and I have forgotten my entire wallet at a restaurant. Sat it down while waiting for my card back and put the card in my pocket and left the wallet on the table.

I have also unironically said this.
