I once worked for a city school processing their old books, and found a few of these scattered in books from the 1950s that had been in storage. Last year issued stamp was in the 60s, no idea if they were actually used after that.
I also have seen this scribbled in the margins on my niece’s homework.
This is one of the many reasons why I say Tony Stark is a bigger villain to the universe than Thanos.
A sudden LACK of mouths is much more favorable than suddenly DOUBLING them.
I order to keep his family alive, he just brings them all back, many years out of place in a universe completely and totally unprepared for their arrival. Not to mention all the people who died AFTER the snap, as a direct result of the snap, will still be dead.
Tony stark is supposed to be smart. So he should know the consequences of his action, and completely disregards it.
And the series pretends he did the universe a favor.
Locally it’s become something of a… Idk what to even call it.
So we have a bunch of dudebros who have giant pickups with various combinations of lift kits, off-road tires, light bars (some with the protective plastic still hanging off) , “rolling coal” , and oversized exhaust mods. And obviously a good half of them have some form of truck nutz.
They gather every Thurs-sun night in a shopping center parking lot, never turn their engines or lights off, and often get into “loudness contests” to see who’s engine revs louder. They started drag racing behind the strip mall and only stopped when one dumbass crashed into a car dealership next door.
I started calling it the “tiny penis brigade” but apparently other people have started calling them the “tiny penis parade”.
I found this out when one night I was picking up some groceries and all the trucks were about 5 parking sections over, and their usual spot had a giant sign hanging from the light post “TINY PENIS PARADE PARKING ONLY, ALL OTHER WILL BE REVVED AT”
My truck has been mocked as I drive past because it’s “tiny” and “looks like shit”. Thank you for reminding me im making good financial choices by continuing to drive a functioning work vehicle that isn’t a hazard to everyone else on or near the road instead of buying a brand new oversized status symbol I can’t afford that statistically kills more people than sharks, lightning, and tipping vending machines combined.
I started asking for examples of when that happened.
It’s funny how angry people get when you ask them for proof of their ridiculous claim. Especially when they start insisting they have the proof, they just don’t feel like sharing “because of your attitude” and when it gets to that point I just openly start laughing at them.
My mother STILL believes that “partial birth abortion” is a thing. Like, at one point she literally believed doctors would use a reflex-testing mallet to smash in a baby’s skull as it was being born. I heard these words come out of her mouth when I was a child.
Now she just thinks they use a surgical hose to suck the brain out as it’s coming out.
My mother in law also threatened to not come to the wedding because I made a pro-choice post on social media. It was literally my only post of the year, because I only keep the account for messaging family. She insisted I’m a baby killer. She also thinks someday she and her family will be dragged out in the street and executed for being christian.
