  • I question the author of this infographic with regard to the source material providing the data.

    During 1974 Pavel Senko, D.D.Maksutov, V.S.Ignatov, V.I.Serdyukov, N.A.Kornilov of the Soviet Union were leading the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. The original source material cites “everyone” so the exclusion of these 5 gentlemen and the entire continent of Antarctica raises questions about the validity of the graphic.




  • As much as I want to bash trump, understand that this parade would have happened regardless of who is president and when their birthday is.

    Others have already pointed out you’re wrong, but I was just curious how wrong. So I went looking. Any searches within the last year are polluted with results talking about this trump parade, so I set the search first to prior to 2024 which revealed something I had entirely forgotten. tRUMP TRIED THIS CRAP BEFORE in 2018 AND WAS SHOT DOWN ON COSTS:

    So it is by no means common to have military equipment rolling down Pennsylvania avenue and even that much smaller one cost $12m in 1991 dollars ($28,305,381.17 in 2025 dollars).



  • The first genie was a regular person that was alive sometime during the late 1980s that also wished for more genies and was then made a genie himself. Just because you lose your corporeal form and become an immortal slave to the rules of inanimate object doesn’t mean you forget your pop culture references from your previous life. Its “wished genies” all the way down.


  • Me: I wish for more genies

    The monkey’s paw curls and in a burst of smoke you now find yourself a creature of spirit, a being of power, but forced to carry out the will of all others, never yourself. You are now a genie.

    First Genie: Welcome to the party, pal. Hope you’re happy. There is a guy over there that has your lamp. You owe him 3 wishes. Remember to tell him “no wishing for more wishes”.
