How many of us STILL have scars from falling off our bikes last century? I bet some of us even still have road gravel in our bodies.

I’m a fan of pendejo. If you’ve never heard someone say it you’re missing out. It’s always said with such utter contempt and the “de” is emphasized so hard it’s practically spit out.

Fantastic artstyle. Weird as fuck movie. Still hands down the best themesong of any anime.
I watched a lot of anime in the 90s but I had to get all of it by VHS hunting through weird hole in the wall fan stores and doing loans/trades with friends. I use to browse the website anipike (the anime turnpike) to learn about animes because it had nearly all the anime in existence listed as well as summeries and pictures. It was a roll of the dice rather the tape would be Japanese, fan dubbed, subtitled, fan subtitled, or just a random copy someone made. Wild times. I don’t even think I saw all of NGE because getting incomplete sets also common.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.
5·7 days agoThat depends on the definition of “better.” Don’t mistake me, I LOVE modern games but there was something magical about needing months to beat one game. And while old games didn’t have online components they were definitely a community effort. Siblings, neighbors, friends from school, all coming over and collaborated with to beat each game. Together we discovered every secret place and learned every trick. If someone figured something out it became local game lore and everyone would try to replicate it. We used to all pile in a room to play Mario bros and work together to knock out every level in an afternoon (if you you know), then run it again with the worp whistle trick because we could. There were games we never beat. Simon’s Quest haunted us (I looked it up as an adult and beat it on nesticle - screw you garlic merchant). But that was part of it too, we didn’t have the safety net of a search engine to bail us out when we got stuck. Frustrating? Yes. But it forced us to slow down and think about the challenges in front of us. It wasn’t better or worse, just different then now. (Also please try to keep in mind part of the reason your controls might feel clunky is the game was designed for a different controller then you are using).
That being said I will never miss that hinky as fuck Nintendo cartridge nonsense that required a ritual involving alcohol, prayer, and the breath of life to get it read a game cartridge. Fuck the NES - again if you know, you know.
I never understood the logic of his underlings. Regardless or rather or not he fires them. Sooner or later he’s either going to not be in charge or die and not be there to protect them (not that he actually does that either tbh unless it benefits him). Do they not think consequences may come later? They’ll be the first idiots under the bus tires when the elites need them some scapegoats to quell the masses.

World News@lemmy.world•Caster Semenya labels Olympic sex verification tests ‘a disrespect for women’English
8·12 days ago1 in every 10,000 births has an ambiguous sex. If we forced every human on earth to undergo this a lot of people would unexpectedly find out their chromosomes didn’t dictate their sex their genitalia.
It’s a fishing expedition. They’ll always find something if they look because human genetics are messy as fuck. How many of us are walking around with an undiagnosed something? We all have a weird unknown thing going on. Mosic condition? Mothers with XY chromosomes? One of the -tisms? And believe you me, they’ll make sure to test the fuck out of the ladies who’re wining too much or are from countries without the resources to bribe or refuse. This isn’t about trans people or fairness. It’s fucking political bullying. But we’ll all yell science and talking points at each other while the real reason whooshes right over all of our heads.

The administration doesn’t care if they are left with inferior troops, as long as the ones they have left will follow orders blindly and without question.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•A researcher asked 10 people to go car-free for 20 days. None wanted to continueEnglish
4·19 days agoI used to do this when I lived in New York state and would occasionally travel down to New York city. It was stupidly cheaper to drive (and faster - which WTF whhhhhy). So I would rent a cheap spot in a garage near the outskirts of the city for the day and use public transport for the rest of the day. I remember being mad that it was cheaper and faster to drive and pay to store my car then it would have been to take the train. That’s a problem. Especially when I had a train station in biking distance to my apartment at the time.
Vampire propaganda.
Same. What the fuck, brain?
No. Worst are digit catalogs that don’t allow for renaming or reordering. Why can’t I fix how broken they are!?

Your question is too broad. Which vehicle against which vehicle? The thing is today’s average driver drives an SUV or truck which is a literal tank in comparison, whereas in the 70s most people drove cars. The bumpers wouldn’t even line up (btw this is a modern issue between “cars” and “SUVs/Trucks”) leading to the bigger vehicle overtopping the smaller vehicle. Modern vehicles are also on average heavier and have better safety features. The only thing I will say is an advantage of an older vehicle is in lower speed crashes it has a better chance of being repaired then a modern vehicle that crumples, but at 70mph even solid steel will get wrecked (as will the passengers).
Also bold of you to assume a lot of these vehicles from the 70s can easily reach 70mph without shaking apart.
