The NES had a Back to the Future game and it was just awful. But what’s dumb about it, aside from everything, was that it had a timer. In a game about time travel. 🙄

Did you know that the song Paranoid by Black Sabbath, which is arguably one of their most famous songs, was written, recorded and finalized in under 25 minutes? The label said the album was too short and Tony Iommi just improved and banged it out over a lunch break. Totally nuts

I am universally ignorant about what is going on with the riots in Paris, I have heard it is about student loans and housing prices The French are historically quick to revolt, so I am going to sit this one out for a moment and let it play before I make a judgement

I recently learned that the original London Bridge was relocated to Lake Havasu in Arizona in the 70’s It was already planned for reconstruction, so some dude from AZ bought it and rebuilt it A bit of a downgrade, sure, but also a typical retirement plan

I’m a Nine Inch Nails fan and the funniest thing about them is they have 3 Grammys, 2 Academy Awards and, you won’t believe this, a Country Music Award True story. Lil Nas X sampled 34 Ghosts IV for Old Town Road and it won a CMA

I always loved Cormac McCarthy’s The Road because it’s an intense read but the end has one of the best quotes of all time: Veteran: You’re kind of weirded out, aren’t you kid? Kid: Well, are you? Veteran: Yeah.

One of the original ‘hacks’ of all time was bizarre It was a whistle from a box of Cap’n Crunch cereal So you could to any payphone on earth, blow it into the phone and you would be able to connect with any number on earth for free

You know what’s sort of hilarious is that the famous Charging Bull statue on Wall Street has no proper owners. It was set up in the middle of the night on public land and the architect died shortly thereafter So nobody can legally lay claim to it Classic Capitalist move

In retrospect, it’s kind of wild how intense and dramatic The Fresh Prince of Bel Air became in later years considering it is a comedy That show got real emotional real quick

It’s so bizarre how one of the first commercially successful rap songs was Rapper’s Delight by Sugar Hill Gang because if you listen to it, it’s like 15 minutes long They go into this whole verse about gross chicken dinners and stuff. It spirals from there Just goes on and on. It’s wild.

I’ve never understood why the movie Space Jam is called that They never go to space at all. They go to the center of the Earth, which is basically the complete opposite Maybe it should have been called Earth Jam

I can’t help but notice there has been a substantial lowered quality of food items across the board and an increase of “Spicy” toppings in recent years Clearly, restaurants are caking over their terrible food with spice so you can’t tell Prove me wrong.

Favorite American politician ever? Billy Carter The brother of US President Jimmy Carter and creator of Billy Beer The guy was such a reckless drunk that he was once found passed out on the White House lawn by secret service

Even professional lip-readers cannot tell the difference between when someone says, “Olive Juice” or “I Love You” Which probably caused some debates in the Olive community

Unapologetically, one of my favorite TV shows is Antiques Roadshow on PBS Yeah it’s a bit of a grandma show, but… Every episode has unforeseen twists and turns that even M. Night Shyamalan couldn’t have predicted

Whenever a YouTuber interrupts their own video and says, “I’d like to thank today’s sponsor”, my brain shuts off and out of pure muscle memory, I pick up my phone

I always found it kind of weird that the United States of America, as a country, doesn’t really have a true name. That’s just a description of a bunch of places that are near each other.

I worked in music law for nearly 15 years and I have never seen anything like what is going on with Ed Sheeran Typically, the headliner, along with their label, have to front upwards of a million dollars per show. Which means he just lost tens of millions of dollars in 2 days

I wouldn’t be shocked if Ed Sheeran’s label sues everyone then everyone counter-sues them. And after months of negotiations for an undisclosed settlement, his label drops him and sues him for legal expense restitution

Wow Ed Sheeran is getting schooled right now. I don’t know anything about him and have never heard any of his music, but even his OWN backing band pulled out of the tour. Oof. That’s gonna hurt

Something that is weird about the medical community is that Doctors and Nurses still use pagers all the time. There is actually a uniquely practical reason for this Because the signal is so low, compared to say a cellphone, they are able to transmit through the cement and metal buildings

Also, because pagers use that frequency, if one tower goes down, they are still connected to others, whereas if a cell tower goes down, it’s complete blackout

I’m not sure why phone companies always promote their cameras as the selling point If you are casually taking pictures, ok, but serious vloggers use their own cameras and drones etc So who are they marketing to? What’s the appeal?

Something that sounds dumb but is actually sort of brilliant is that professional athletes will play as themselves in video games It’s not for fun, they use it as training Because the stats are constantly updating, they use it as analysis and visualization for their upcoming opponents

There is this dude named Steven Bradbury out of Australia who happened to win the Winter Olympic Gold Medal in Speed Skating 2002 completely by accident It is hilarious He wasn’t even supposed to be there, someone dropped out and he was old and slow as molasses

Idk WTF is going on with this AI company Anthropic A few days ago they claimed they had a 100% cure for cancer. Then they admitted there is about a 10% chance it will kill everything on earth. Yeah that’s one way to get rid of cancer Almost everyone from the company has since resigned

And it wasn’t made to be a movie. It was made to be a literal cure for insomnia It is virtually impossible to find but there are clips. It’s mainly just a bunch of random footage, but the idea was that if you have insomnia, you watch it and you will fall asleep
