I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?

I’m reminded of Bender:

“This isn’t even about you”

“That’s impossible!”

And Tom Morello saying he wasn’t aware they had any non-political songs and would remove any he found.

I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980’s. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn’t ever a “big” vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.

The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.

EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger…

Guys, is it gay to avoid filling your trash can with a bunch of plastic bags?

It has been my long-standing belief that a motorcycle helmet can prevent an accident. I’ve had too many things hit my visor while riding. Imagine taking a june bug in the eye with nothing but a set of oakleys for protection.

I have a motorcycle. It’s a Harley-Davidson. Immediately, everyone is picturing a large and unpleasant looking bearded man riding a huge, noisy, vibrating, chrome bedazzled air cooled motorcycle without a helmet from one bar to the next.

My harley makes about as much noise as a Toyota Camry. I wear full protective gear when riding it, including a bright and attention-getting helmet. It doesn’t get ridden to bars, because drinking interferes with my motorcycle addiction.

The large and unpleasant looking bearded man part is accurate, though.

Technology Connections!

A model T didn’t beat those numbers by much, and in 1910 you had to start them with a crank which gave a nice element of danger to the whole thing.

Would have been cool to see 100+ years of improvements in electric cars instead of gas cars.

He is the reason that “Missionary Position” now means facedown in the dirt with a back full of arrows.

Why? Might as well bring your stove outside and cook with that.

She thought that the computer was doing everything for me. Which is possible now, but 30 years ago when CD-ROM and 256-color graphics were a cool new thing, not so much.

It’s harder to take lewd pics when you have to drop the film off to be developed.

My wife works in a nursing home, and she can confirm that old people are still horny. She says it’s funny to see two walkers parked outside of a supply closet.

Im so glad I grew up with computer savvy parents.

I had a 3rd grade teacher who had an absolute meltdown because I was handing in homework that was “done on a computer”. This was a long time ago, the space-age super-intelligent computer that was apparently doing all my homework for me was a 12MHz 286 with 1024 kb of memory and a 40 mb hard drive.

Matters escalated to the point where there was a meeting with the principal, then the teacher and the principal, and finally my parents and the principal, where this dumb old woman had to explain why she wouldn’t accept the homework I was actually doing. She eneded up being told “More kids will be doing this every single year, he’s just the first, you need to get over it.”

Hot Karl has such a fun personality, and her VA just makes her sound so happy to be free, but worried (a little) about what’s next. She’s always in my party.

I ran into this guy yesterday. He’s taller than my petitie bard.

I was in high school, she was a chubby amd adorable native american girl with waist length black hair. I left her for someone more conventially pretty. I’m a dumbass.

Speaking as an American - an electric kettle. Just a thing that plugs into the wall and boils water.

I use it for tea, of course, but I also use it any time I need boiling water for something, because it’s faster than a kettle sitting on the stove and it doesn’t use gas.

I have a “Hen” like that. The woman I got him from said he was a laying hen, even had one of the saddles on him. He was a young rooster, and he’s huge now.

Potatoes are so easy to grow. You can grow a lot of them in a trash can full of dirt.
