I remember being blown away by Nintendo 64 in the 90s.

Doesn’t really seem like the best use of law enforcement funds. Guess it’s better than shooting minorities, ar least.

I still, even trying to swap into their low-info mindset, cannot understand just what the fuck was the issue with a tan suit, exactly? I mean, even given their smooth brains.

The guy wearing it was black.

My geology teacher encouraged us to taste the rocks. 🤷

Don’t have to shovel heat.

What?

He’d never get anything done.

A modern car would be pretty impressive to someone from the 70s, even without the ability to fly.

“not chronically online”. Has a Lemmy account.

Could you imagine showing a modern game console to someone from the 70s?

I doubt it. Nobody who cares about what they’d have to say actually reads books, and they wouldn’t be able to afford a ghost writer anyway.

Is it a Romulan ship?

If you were born in 66, you were 8 when Vietnam ended. The civil rights movement was pretty much done by 74 as well. You might have fought in Desert Storm, but that was so small and quick the odds of you being there are pretty small. The AIDS epidemic was bad, but if you didn’t live in a major city you likely wouldn’t have known anyone with AIDS. The Cold War pretty was winding down by the time you were born and the threat of nuclear apocalypse was mostly bit really worth worrying about by the 80s.

It was a pretty big deal, it just didn’t amount to anything. But a lot of people were worried about it.

There’d have to be some sort of stipulation that made it so nobody could do that. I don’t know how you’d do that, but it could probably be done. Are there any laws that prevent people convicted of fraud from doing the same thing again? Maybe something like that.

I would love to see them roofing houses or working in a foundry. Hell, even seeing them trying to be a janitor or something.

Could you imagine Elon Musk running a fryer or injection mold for 8 hours? Who am I kidding? he’d never pass the piss test required to run the injection mold.

Better yet, seize their assets and make them try to make a go at it as a regular person.

or at least that’s what I’ve been shown

You ever think you may not have been shown the whole picture?

He’s not going to listen to you.

Careful, people don’t like to be told that we are doing things.
