I’ve got to second The Old Guard. Charlize Theron is seriously bad ass in it. And everyone else is too. That movie is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s like nobody got the memo and just went balls to the wall.

Who was Earl jr.’ dad?

Honestly? My real conspiracy theory is that the the fappening wasn’t an Apple iCloud leak, it was a NSA leak.
In 2014 a whole bunch of celebrities nude photos got put up anonymously on 4chn and reddit. The FBI ended up blaming a guy from Cleveland. But during the same time the NSA was operating under a 6 hop rule for sweeping cell phones and operators at Langley were notorious for copying off photos from random cellphones that they could access too.
The 6 hops rule let the NSA guys get a secret warrant to remotely search a phone if someone is a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact who’s a suspected terrorist. That is a hell of a lot of people and I’m sure a lot of celebrities.
So I’m sure the guys at the NSA were collecting and then trading various celebrities nude photos, and one of them was stupid enough to start posting them for clout on 4chn. I believe that they were disciplined and that put a stop to it but they had to find someone to take the heat and they got Apple to do that.

When did Pillboi become a professional wrestler?

Honestly, the cartridge system was a (pardon the pun) game changer. Sure someone did it first but Atari really made it main stream. It allowed for a lot of what we see today. Sure you were dropping what was about a $1,000 in today's money on a toy for you and your kids but you could play so many games on it.
The idea that you had a machine in your living room that you could change what it did just by putting in a new cartridge was mind breaking in the 70's. Sure your TV could play 5 or 6 channels maybe but it still was a TV, getting a Atari made it a home entertainment system. The whole one machine that did so many different games paved the way for the whole home entertainment universe we have today.

I’ll second How to be Perfect. A really good introduction to ethical philosophy, and if you get the Audiobook there are a lot of fun cameos.

Buoys outside of America they’re pronounced the same.

Fuck yeah, just give the ancient Greeks hindu-arabic numerals and watch them lose their minds. Teach Zeno calculus and watch him try to prove it wrong.

If you’re looking for the biggest change in our timeline for the littlest work I’d give a hindu-arabic numerals to early Greek mathematicians. Watching those guys try to wrap their heads around zero, that would fuck Pythagoras.

Too much work. If I want to disappoint a lot of people I’ll just go to a family reunion.

 

Seriously LA Theater people I am disappointed. It would make for an amazing viral video.

 

Ok, Lemmy, let's another play a game!

And I honestly think this one’s more important.

Post how many languages in which you can say Please and Thank You, including your native language. If you can, please provide which languages and how to phonetically say them so the rest of us can learn!

I spent a fair amount of bopping around Europe in the early Aughts and as a native English speaker, I found everyone appreciating my bad mangled attempts at politeness.
