    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Why does the salt gun have a box of popcorn on top of it?

    The Fast Food Thread

    The only time I went to Dave's Hot Chicken I wanted to experience the "Reaper" level where they make you sign a waiver so it wasn't a great test but I didn't think it tasted that great. It is eye-watering, nose running hot though. A lower heat level probably would have been more enjoyable.

    Home Improvement

    From what people have told me this is incredibly common. A concrete guy I used to know said pouring sidewalks downtown he's had places where he had it surrounded with barriers and then yellow caution tape wrapped around the barriers and people climbed over that to walk on the wet concrete. If...

    Home Improvement

    Something about living in the suburbs makes people think they should be able to control everything that everyone does in the vicinity of their house. To be fair, it's not necessarily obvious when concrete is "almost" dry. I actually made a footprint in my own concrete once because I got home...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Yeah, especially Watson. What a clown show that turned out to be.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    My Mom always bought knock-off toys. I had Tycos instead of Legos (she still calls all Legos "Tycos") and Go-Bots instead of Transformers.

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    I wonder how this scam worked. "Hey girls, I'm a rich and famous NFL player. Now *you* should send money to *me*." Huh?

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That's a good way to do it but you're still brave. I would never buy something like that or a piece of clothing for a woman unless she had asked for a specific item or it was something like wool socks or a beanie hat or something generic like that. Not saying it's a bad thing to do but I have...

    Reacher

    Good thing those Indonesian chicks are good with those karambit knives because apparently 700 rounds from a machine gun is not enough for them to disable a Ford Taurus or hit any of the occupants of it. This show has always been silly, but it seems to be going to a new level this season. The...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Just thinking about it now, maybe the best thing you could hope for on a multi-generational voyage would be that after a couple hundred years someone on earth would invent warp drive and they would come and rescue you on a better ship.

    Not only were these journeys only a couple of months, but there were islands every so often to resupply on and you could like, breath air and catch fish all of the time. For a certain amount of the journey, you could even turn back if something broke and try again later. Imagine if you had to...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't see anything here I disagree with. Even if you can keep your nuclear reactor running (with lots of spare parts) for 100 years, you're not even close to lasting long enough for interstellar travel, and then you also need to keep your computers and washing machines and food machines and...

    The Astronomy Thread

    By this logic the fact that someone said it is impossible means that it is possible? I guess the only reason we can't swim naked in molten lava or hold our breath for 100 years is because we're weak cowards?

    Yeah, we'll make it work because reasons and because we have big balls! Awesome. We're awesome and tough.
