ech, to comicstrips in Little Caesar's [beetlemoses]

I get it’s referencing the back rooms, but I don’t get why. No location I’ve ever been to looked anything like that.

bionicjoey,

I think the joke is that nobody ever actually enters LC. They just order from there. So there would be no way of knowing if it was actually secretly an entrance to the backrooms

PuzzledBlueberry,

Every LC I’ve ever seen is takeout only… You have to go inside to get the pizza

GiantRobotTRex,

I remember in-store dining at Little Caesars in the '90s but nowadays all the ones I know of are takeout only.

deleteme,

This could have been an episode of Reply All, from their “Yes, yes, no” segment. It would go down the Backrooms rabbit hole and back up reminiscing about cheap Little Caesar’s.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I order for pickup and it looks like this.

But now that you mentioned it, what is their back room? Do they even have a kitchen?

Or do they all just go to the Little Caesars Dimension and through the Pizza Portal and fetch us some Hot-and-Readys by negotiating with the outer gods?

bionicjoey,

The door to the back is a portal to the elemental plane of pizza. Employees dip into the back to slay a pizza elemental and harvest its crust whenever they run out of dipping sticks.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Oh wow TIL

Kase,

Hey um I’m sorry but I’ve been seeing you here for months and I just have to know: is there a story/meaning behind your username choice?? If so please please tell me the lore. I want to know. I need to know.

People order delivery from little Caesars? I didn’t even know they had delivery.

IMongoose,

For real. They’re going to get a $5-$6 pizza delivered to them for $15-$20? Are they nuts? Go get real food.

jayandp,

They partnered with DoorDash a few years ago, and its one of those one driver=multiple stops things. Which means your pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you.

SoylentBlake,

This is 100% fact. Eisenhower made PE a universal part of education to increase overall fitness in the case of war and conscription.

Bael422,

I think it was worse than that. It was to test for and increase capability for military life, but the exercises themselves are not a good way to keep a general healthy body so it actually caused physical health to decline in the US.

Kase,

it actually caused physical health to decline in the US.

Wait seriously? Where did you hear that?

Anticorp,

Fuck yeah!

CryptidBestiary, to comicstrips in Little Caesar's [beetlemoses]

As a person who’s been in a Little Caesar’s, can confirm. That’s why the pizzas are so cheap, you must escape a liminal space first

funkless_eck,

if the space serves a purpose (must be escaped from) is it liminal any more and is actually now a locus?

Will someone finally explain the difference between Venom and Swarm Spiderman? Because they look the same (or would, if the Swarm had ever taken Parker).

CaptnNMorgan,

Swarm is a bunch of bugs while venom is alien black goo. I’m curious when they look the same?

Brood! Shit, the Brood, not The Swarm. Brain fart while posting.

CaptnNMorgan,

The Brood is like a cross between the symbiotes and xenomorphs but more organized than both

The Venom illustrations always remind me of that Brood cover.

Or that his dad is in the small dick.

B1naryB0t, to lemmyshitpost in Let's not mention that His dad was looking at your dick.

Back in his day a small dick was considered civilized and even divine. A large dick was considered brutish and barbaric.

lowleveldata,

Netflix and Spotify actually makes sense to be subscription based. Amazon depends on how often you do online shipping through them since it’s actually free (if you don’t include the fees) to function. I definitely wouldn’t pay for Dropbox but cloud storage and sync pretty much has to be a monthly subscription. If you are going to be against something at least be against to the parts that makes sense to be against of.

CrowAirbrush,

Life worked perfectly fine before Netflix and Spotify, everything was also fine before cloud everything.

They can suck on my left nut.

cerulean_blue,

Yes, and life still works fine without them…nobody is forcing you to subscribe to Netflix. Keep paying your monthly cable subscription like the old days.

CrowAirbrush,

I ain’t got no cable, last time we had cable i watched for 2 weeks and after that everything was just repeating what i had already seen in those 2 weeks and loads of nonsense shows.

I prefer doing things, like learning new skills or doing something active.

While I agree, most people know tera- at this point. Most people probably do not know zetta- yet.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Most of us aren’t used to “terrawatts” though. Is that like one Earth worth of watts? One watt as measured on Earth? The definition of watt culturally accepted by Earthlings?

spicytuna62, (edited )
@spicytuna62@lemmy.world avatar

You wouldn’t find a terawatt in everyday usage, but a terawatt-hour is pretty commonplace when talking about the energy usage of entire populations.

This Reuters article states US power demand will climb to “4,027 billion kWh in 2022.” Yeah, just say 4 PWh. Or even 4,027 TWh. It’s a little more easily digested.

It’s already an incomprehensably high number. No matter which way you state it is going to fly over peoples heads.

And the entire electricity consumption of the planet is something like 25.5 petawatt-houts.

Interesting_Test_814,

I think theperson you’re replying to was making a joke off the misspelling of “terrawatts” in OP.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh that’s super interesting and I did not know that, but I was riffing off the double R in “terrawatt,” instead of “terawatt.”

Like “tera” describes an order of magnitude, but “terra” means “earth,” as in “terra firma,” “terra nova,” or “terran.”

So I guess you could say that 25.5 petawatt-hours = 25,500 terawatt-hours = 1 terrawatt-hour.

zzzz,

And how’re we supposed to learn when y’all keep dumbing shit down?

Jake Johnson is really funny though

chuckleslord,

See, the joke is that his name is so incredibly generic Midwest… dude that no one even knows who you’re talking about.

Now, the guy who plays Nick Miller from New Girl, he’s actually the funny one.

quilan,

Josh Johnson is another hilarious J. Johnson!

It’s a They Live joke.

Like the NYPD builds a Rowdy Roddybot 3000 kinda like the Futurama cops to roll around and make sure everybody consumes the ads

Does the teacher often call on him while he’s daydreaming?

Underwaterbob, to lemmyshitpost in Does Lemmy skew old enough for this one?

I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Sure, looking back, a lot of those cartoons sucked, (quality is on average much higher these days) but it was more about the ritual and the expectation. Saturday morning TV was for me.

Peppycito,

I’ve got a hankerin’ for a hunk of cheese!

somethingp,

Yeah most of those used to be shit but it was like a ritual every weekend. Are Saturday morning cartoons not a thing anymore?

Jomega,

They got replaced by 24 hour dedicated children’s channels, which in turn got replaced by streaming.

somethingp,

I’m not that old! I had Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, but there were still Saturday morning cartoons on WB and PBS. The Saturday morning cartoons weren’t as good as the others but it was still something special about the mornings.

m0darn,

As a parent of young children I’ve learned that Saturday morning cartoons are actually for my wife and I to have a moment to ourselves.

Before going to the comments section, I was like “wtf is this post?”

After reading a few comments, I’m fully bewildered. What the fuck is up with your crazy country?

Chriswild,

We don’t know either. It’s just fucked and nobody cares.

DragonTypeWyvern,

It’s a fitness test for students so the government can track public health metrics. That Lemmy has a problem with it says a lot about Lemmy and nothing about America being “crazy.”

That’s unrelated.
