circuitfarmer, 
This man is responsible for one of the core things that made the 90s the 90s.
entropicdrift, 
More than one, he also invented Nerf guns. Dude has more than 250 patents
Hextic, Absolute fucking legend.
I had the Super Soaker 50. That might as well been my “Holy bolter” back then.
bongus_urongus, I have become fun, destroyer of boredom… and pants.
Shardikprime, Why is Zeus holding a super soaker
FlyingSquid, 
Am I the only one who finds the whole thing so terrifying that they can’t bring themselves to watch a movie that shows it as realistically as possible?
I have nightmares about nuclear war.
snor10, Don’t watch Barefoot Gen.
To anyone else, watch Barefoot Gen.
The mangaka had personal experience, and it shows.
FlyingSquid, I’ve heard about it. I’m sure it’s excellent, but I can’t.
I used to be able to do it. I used to watch all kinds of post-nuke and nuclear war movies in the 80s and 90s. I read John Hersey’s Hiroshima more than once. But I can’t do it anymore. It’s just too scary.
snor10, Yeah, no point watching if you can’t absorb it in a meaningful way.
I’m so desensitized it almost feels academic.
Maybe I’m a coward who emotionally deflect reality, as if watching a strange object.
At least you choose to either see reality in the eye or to deflect your gaze, perhaps a more honest approach.
Well, we do all this reflexively anyway. So there might not be much of a point to dwell on it, sorry for getting philosophical on you.
jayrodtheoldbod, He went and saw Barbie.
someguy3, Idea of a lifetime:

LaSaucisseMasquee, You can’t handle some criticality…
FlyingSquid, I apologize. When I went to that rally with the ‘No Nukes’ sign, it wasn’t personal.
Kolanaki, 
Imagine if the US dropped two giant beyblades on Japan and just let the spinning tops destroy everything.
ivanafterall, 
Of all nations to challenge to a duel of city-sized robots, maybe DON'T pick Japan!?
Shardikprime, No cap that would be lit as fuck
LET IT RRRRRRRIIIIIPPPPP
EdibleFriend, 
This made me giggle like a special needs kid pushing the buttons on an elevator.
