We used to play stuntman on our big wheels. We had a hill with grass on it. We'd watch Evil Kneival specials, The 6 Million Dollar Man, and then we'd go launch ourselves off our big wheels into the bushes, inadvertantly finding rocks with our kneecaps and the like. I still have the scars to prove it.
These Green Machines were for the fancy kids. I still don't understand them. you're using the sticks to turn? What? Why did they make it more complicated than a tractor? There's no brake. You have your pedals. That's it. Big Wheels had a big ol brake you could slam onto one rear tire, force a drifting effect or even spin completely 180 degrees around. I'm surely distorting the facts with my version of memories here.
Back in the smoking days, they'd say blowing smoke in someone's face is code for you wanna do it right now. We used to talk about it at parties. None of us understood who it was code for. Probably swingers before us punkers in the 80s. Anytime you did it on accident, people would crack jokes like hey now you gotta go screw your buddy Steve or your sister or whatever. Kind of like accidentally giving someone a green m+m.
When we were in Tokyo and SE Asia, we lost weight. The food is lighter, healthier, smaller proportions. The rice is not handed out like some sort of endless buffet. You get a cup of rice or whatever the measurement. That's it. No additional servings of rice. Andrew Weil did a whole description of how cultures who's staple foods (rice, corn, grains, taro...) have become more finely processed become more obese, across the board, as a culture. When it becomes fine powdery flour, it breaks down into sugar way faster. You're not supposed to eat that shit for good reasons. Lifestyle plays a big part but cutting out all that junk food is critical.
I think it's a Lemmy-wide issue and no one's ever fixed it. Not even piefed. Even on piefed, you can't get video to play unless you click on the link and go to the post. It'll play there, but it won't play from the main page. Pretty sure the rest of Lemmy is worse.
Lots of design projects on these sorts of sites are really academic projects. There's no invention here. This product will never come to market. It's frustrating to follow, as a designer. It shows how very little the people putting the site together are truly connected to the design world. They're not. Students send them their concepts and they regurgitate them wholesale. That's not reporting. A lot of architectural design stuff is just as bad too.
We were led to believe we'd die if we ate a single apple seed until about 1995, when I observed my FIL eat an entire apple, core, seeds, and all, which obviously blew my mind.

Banned? Because OP made 11 posts out of one? Good.
Edit: I was wrong. There was way more. Entire Lemmy pages more.

No, he was one of the best. She's what cued me. The other guy is dead on, too. Just reminded me this was kind of a thing in the 80s.
Back when AI was just celebrity imposters, the way Jesus meant it to be.
They were easy to break as well. It was a good evolution.
Ah, yeah, even my old little 2003 Volvo has a more Bug influenced little guy in the back.
Fuck your AI slop "art" thumbnail.

Do cars even have antennas anymore? Highway patrol got post-it versions in the meantime anyhow.
(I was kind of curious if people were familiar with these things)
It says TAB right on there. TAB was an early "diet cola" from Coke. TIL. Now I get why its heyday was in the 70s.

I'd say that's Ben Franklin suffering a gout flare-up but he doesn't even have bifocals.

My dad's a TV repairman. He's got an ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!
It's clearly not a great idea but yeah, the hyperbole made me feel betrayed when I realized it.
