That's how I feel about Doritos, I'm sure they tasted better in the past than they do now.

TIL I learned that in Germany, NOT returning a returnable bottle/can is technically a crime. You see, you didn't buy the bottle, but only the content, the agreement was you'd return the bottle.
'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

One of the things that really grabbed me a out being in Germany was the whole system of returning bottles for .25. I worked in an office where they went shopping for supplies by taking a bunch of bottles to the local shop, and exchanging them.
One of those "why don't we have this at home?" moments.
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Maybe because it was 12 years to the day since the last postbilateralrope wrote: ↑2024-09-03 12:05pmWhy delete or lock an account just because someone has gone inactive ?
Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)
Wait, really? To the day? I swear that was an accident if so! I've been lurking for a few months now, and just decided to see if my account was still useable on a whim.
