  • I get that everyone’s shit posting here, but the answer is that it’s believed Dr. Pepper as a name might be directly referencing an actually Dr. who lived in the area the drink was invented in, but we’re honestly not sure about that at all

    Its entirely possible that it was called that because it was sold in pharmacies and was “spicy” (thus Dr. Pepper), or another alternative I’ve heard is basically that idea but it has caffeine so it meant Dr. Speed, basically

    All that to say: Dr. Pepper is gender fluid, dipshits, I’ll see myself out



  • Americans made a weird cult out of it. They may do so if they like. :)

    Judging by the name we’ve got ourselves a Lederhosen who’s never had the joy of a proper American burger

    You come to California some time and we’ll show you what we did with our (meine Urgroßmutter wurde in Düsseldorf geboren) culture! I myself spent an entire year perfecting my breading mix and learning to make the perfect pretzel bun to serve them on!

    Like… Ugh, I know what I’m doing this weekend


  • smashing printers with baseball bats

    I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

    They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

    Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

    What the fuck is wrong with printers


  • Oh it’s for sure a trip, I fucking loved MGS but I have yet to actually finish DS, despite reading up on the lore and loving that I figured out some of the big twists before episode 3 by sheer Kojima pattern recognition

    Its a dense game that’s surprisingly taxing on your brain as you move around, then it slaps you with deeply metaphorical bullshit while your burnt out to confuse you extra


  • Nah, that’s not the insane rush, that’s actually a really chill first mission to help you get into the swing of them

    The opening where you run down a big hill and then a cutscene where a bunch of shadow creatures attack and kill some guys really horribly and then a big explosion goes off and kills your character but the baby in his throat stops sucking it’s thumb so he can be reborn

    “Get the presidents body the fuck out of here” makes perfect sense and looks tame as shit after THAT






  • No, though I get what you mean, I locked eyes with this woman as my ass came off the seat and she death gripped the cart, I think she might legitimately have been momentarily worried about hitting her head on the ceiling and breaking her neck (had a friend be a hostess and she said the training absolutely mentions that)

    As soon as they were touching the floor again they moved as fast as they could to their area, locked it down, and strapped in hard, and the captain yelled in Japanese over the intercom for a couple minutes before finally translating in English that we were fine, clearly freaked out

    I know planes are safe but that experience at 1am over the pitch black Pacific ocean occasionally flashes back to me when I’m on planes because holy shit what the FUCK happened
