You can retroactively insert "All Star" into any movie at any point you'd like, where are you putting it?

smash mouth's claim to like it when their world's on fire is not a responsible reaction to climate change

@ryan Don't forget Garbage, who are only happy when it rains (a weather pattern which will increase under global warming due to accelerating evaporation and higher levels of moisture held in warmer air)

ooh i figured it out - Ariel had to lose her voice because of the surgery to close her gills and adapt her trachea for air breathing, but this was all too complicated for her to understand, so Ursula just said "it's magic, i'll take your voice"

The whistles in Thomas the Tank Engine are mating calls. They're all actually a type of mechanical flightless bird. It's complicated and that bit isn't really explained because it's a kids show

Dang, looks like portable blu-ray players died out? I thought that would be a fun gift for the kid's 16th birthday but there's nothing available.

@cholling Har har :) I buy physical media for lots of stuff I wouldn't care to lose, including Nintendo Switch games, CDs, and movies

@cholling Tower Records in Dublin still has a huge selection of physical media (music and movies) and I'd usually buy my games at Smyth's toy store (at least since GameStop closed its doors). I avoid Amazon as much as possible but that's harder since moving from the US to Ireland.

I went with a portable DVD player instead. Most (all?) of the movies at the library are on DVD anyway.

@cholling Definitely check out the one on Dawson Street!

There's "anti-booing" technology?! This feels like bullshit but you can make speakers as tall as a NBA player so maybe not?

@jalcine I heard that for Eurovision, they would cut audio if there was booing and substitute applause. No idea how automated it is

Oh, Dublin. "A case of a vanishing bus stop that Dublin Bus investigation found is being 'removed by a local resident on a regular basis' has been reported to Gardaí." https://irishcycle.com/2024/05/03/vanishing-bus-stop-removed-by-a-local-resident-on-a-regular-basis-reported-to-gardai/
