Lol I think we’re around the same age. Definitely too young for evil clown Tim Curry.

Stephen King’s IT was broadcast on network TV during primetime. I remember being excited to gather around the TV to watch a movie and oooooh boy was not prepared. I don’t think my parents let me finish.
I saw this in my 20s as well, somehow never having heard a thing about it. I thought it was gonna be a standard sci-fi movie. Boy was I surprised.
Also, I’ve heard about that lost footage that they filmed but never released. Shit sounds wild.
Better rule, if the vehicle detects that the turn signal is not active and you’re making a turn, it engages temporary self driving and delivers an electric shock to the crotch .
I remember that post. Always made me wonder if that really happened or if it was just good story telling.
Well that’s good to know. Thanks!
Really? How the heck does that work out?
I think any pediatrician would be happy to see unvaccinated kids. So they can vaccinate them and keep them safe.
Ooooo I started off clicking slowly, then realized you can drag your finger around and go nuts. This is so satisfying!
I was trying to explain this to my kids - about the mental aging part. Mentally, I don’t feel any different than I did 25 years ago. I don’t even know what mentally aging would feel like, other than dementia or something like you mentioned.
Q3 2026 will come around and the AI will report that revenues are down. The CEO will respond the only way they know, by ordering that costs be cut by laying off employees. The AI will report there is no one left to lay off but the CEO.
Fade to black and credits roll.
Unfortunately, I think this is the most likely scenario. Going from our modern technology levels, which are more than capable of destroying the world, to Dyson spheres is a huge leap that will take who knows how long (decades? centuries? millennia?).
Before that happens, we have to live together on a planet without blowing ourselves up or making the planet uninhabitable. As technology continues to advance, walking that knife edge of survival seems more and more difficult. The pessimist inside of me says that no civilization has been able to accomplish it.
Yeah, it seems very possible that at one point, civilization will turn inward instead of outward. Why go through the time and effort to colonize the stars when you can just create a cyber-utopia? If you’re advanced enough, you could make it feel like an eternity while almost no time passes on the outside.
Sure, your planet might get destroyed by a cataclysmic event in the far future, but if you can make that feel like billions or trillions of years, who really cares?
I made this one on a post a few days ago:
That’s a thicc tomato
I’m sure eventually someone will make a bot called something like ai-explains-the-joke that does this automatically.
Yeah but 2 of this guy’s 3 were healing people that prayed to him. Which is what spawned my question: so Catholics pray to non-saints?
Sorry I’m not a Catholic. What’s the intermediate step between rando and saint?
Also not to get into any freak gasoline fights.
