You’d be surprised, some people born in the 2000s want them for the retro factor now

just hold onto a book for 5 decades to avoid late fees, got it

Where can I get this security camera?

I thought they’d already banned the military from using this, you’d think secret service would be included in that ban too

Ever since the edgerunners anime I’ve kinda wanted choom and gonk to turn into real slang

I tried looking for something like this in the UK and it turns out the nearest one for me got shut down during COVID, the rest are all an hour or two away at least. It’s a great idea but I guess it’s unsustainable without some sort of external funding cause the local one was already running at a loss before 2020 according to their website.

There are bigger problems that I agree need to be solved but I’m not personally that verbal about them. But the one I complain about the most has got to be potholes.

In the UK farmers are responsible for maintaining the hedgerows between the road and their fields so I feel like they should also be responsible for filling in the potholes caused by their heavy machinery and the cow shit left behind when they’re moving cattle.

Gen Z is a lot older than you think, early gen Z were around when fax machines were still common. Gen alpha maybe though.

Ah I read it as terribly named places for some reason

There’s a UK road trip that goes from Twatt to Shitterton through Cock Bridge, Dick Place, Cock Alley, Bitchfield, Whores Wood and Ass Hill.

do you think you have to kill chickens to collect their eggs?

Fly by wire would be a terrible design for a car, I’ve seen people driving on space saver tires or with taped up windows for months. If people already just ignore warning lights until something physically stops them from driving then at least having a physical steering column means there’s still control after the power steering fails so that they don’t go straight on into oncoming traffic.

On your other point about still using the same control systems as a model T, modern cars don’t. Hydraulic steering came around in the 50s and almost all modern cars have electric power steering, the model T had completely unassisted rack and pinion steering. I can’t find any definite answer on what the last car without any hydraulic steering was but I’d definitely like to find out if anyone knows.

It’s the last ocean liner in existence and it’s more efficient than a cruise ship but yeah it’s still pretty fuel hungry. There aren’t any commercial sailing ships left anymore though even in a cargo capacity, companies don’t run them because their speed is so inconsistent that they can’t run on a regular schedule.

They always seem so chill in photos but I’ve worked with them and they’re one of the most skittish animals I’ve dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though

Wait they actually released that thing? I thought they dropped the semi truck design?

Tbf other countries were starting to build up prior to the start of ww2, it’s not like they suddenly started the war effort in 1939. Afaik the only reason the war didn’t start when other countries were annexed is because Britain and France wanted to build up their armies first and Poland just became the breaking point.

I called mine Sasha just so I could reference meet the heavy if anyone ever moved the seats

Ngl I’m kinda surprised by how many people use the main feed, when I first joined lemmy I just looked up some communities that I was interested in and set my default feed to subscribed only, the only memes I see regularly are from an RPG meme community.

None of that it was just one of the Easter sermons and they were telling a story about jesus, the way they said he always referred to himself as god just felt like it was some sort of heavens gate situation

Yes but she doesn’t go to church often, she convinced me to come with once and it took me from being an atheist who isn’t opposed to Christianity to being fully convinced that it’s just a worldwide cult
