Fun fact, this is part of the reason so many cars are silver, white, or black now. A lot of base models of cars are only available in those three colors, along with maybe red. To get a different color, you have to get an upgraded package… and there’s your $1k price jump.
I just thought a couple of days ago that how awesome it would be if we have a LOT of colorful cars. Not just the same 4-5 always. Parking lots are fucking boring these days.
Wow, I’m actually pretty sure I’m wrong on this. I’m just now checking on my lunch break but I can’t find it. I know I saw a video about this (or a very similar) community following specifically one man who has a hanger house. Swore it was Tom Scott but, I just can’t find it… Don’t tell me I hallucinated it lol
Tom Scott (with his characteristic enthusiasm): “Hello, lovely internet denizens! Today, we find ourselves in a comment thread, delightfully jesting about my propensity to dive into the oddest corners of knowledge. From the physics of shoelaces to the mysteries of quantum buttered toast, we’ve covered it all!”
[SMILE AND NOD]
Tom Scott: “Now, I can already predict a few of the replies that might pop up here. ‘Tom, why not delve into the intricacies of a potato chip next?’ Well, who knows, that might just be on the horizon! And yes, someone will undoubtedly ask about the physics of a cat’s purr. It’s been on the list for a while, folks!”
[CONFIDENT NOD]
Tom Scott: “But you know what they say, the quest for knowledge knows no bounds! So, let’s keep the laughter rolling and the curiosity burning. What’s next, you ask? Well, that’s anyone’s guess! Stay tuned, stay curious, and let’s keep this adventure going!”
[OUTRO]
Tom Scott (looking bemusedly at his busily buzzing phone): “Well, it seems the replies are pouring in already! I might be here for a while trying to keep up with all your brilliant comments. But hey, that’s the joy of it, isn’t it? The learning never stops! Keep those questions and suggestions coming, and I’ll do my best to tackle them in the videos to come.”
“Mange tror at internetdiskussioner er sunde. Det er et indtryk vi har arbejdet mange år på at kultivere så vi kan påvirke folks meninger uden at blive opdaget i det. Vi fik blandt andet Tom til at lave denne video blot for at få mig med i den!”
I guess they have their use, but I dislike green extension cords. my daughter has a few of them, and she tends to leave them laying in the grass when I go over to mow her yard.
Not good for visibility, but great for blending. We use them for Christmas and Halloween so that you don’t see a ton of cords about. I have to move them or weed eat around them if it rains much during those months.
My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.
Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.
Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.
It actually might be related to the cost of the color of the jacketing itself. The different dyes used in plastic production have varying costs, in lots of cases.
