landing a spacescraft on a pure untouched comet just another capitalist imperialist bastard

Fast comets are totally asking for it imo

really? usb controller? couldn't search for .5 more seconds for the genuine article?

Reminds me of that news story from a few years ago about the Canadian family who wanted to live in 1986, and wouldn't allow any recent technology, fashion, etc into their home. Like, if you're gonna take an anti-new-tech (assuming that's what this is) idealizing 1980s technology is all kinds of perverse.

kids of today ironically far far better informed about popular culture before they were born than kids of, say, thirty years ago ever were.

yeah honestly NES/8/16 bit nostalgia never really seems to die off to the point where I remembering interview ppl that were like 25 and they wax nostalgic for that era

Hilariously, the Konami Code is still used in tons and tons of contemporary apps and games, including the entire Metal Gear series, and kids certainly know it.

I used to have it on a t shirt and would get stopped in the street all the time

i would bet more people in america know the konami code than the name of the speaker of the house

^facebook that plz

To cardamom's makeover pic: yes, that's EXACTLY how it works. Wear less expensive clothing and you can just paint instead of working.

perhaps. but growing up in the decade of the 1960s (ages 5 through 15) television was jamcrammed with cartoons and movies from the 1930s and 40s, so that as an 8 year old I could easily identify oldster celebrities like Jimmy Durante, Jerry Colona, Bing Crosby, Boris Karloff, Rudy Vallee, or the Marx Brothers. At age 10 I'd seen such outdated fare as Wild Boys of the Road, I Was a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, or Boys Town.

Personally, I'm uncertain how to address cultural literacy with children, because there is JUST. SO. MUCH. CULTURE. I try to resist the urge to oversteep them in things that happened to be important to ME in my antediluvian childhood.

My own personal parents hit me over the head repeatedly with the cultural signifiers of their upbringing, to the exclusion of the many fine things that came before, things that came after, and things they didn't happen to dig. So, like many of my contemporaries, I knew as much about the Beatles as the most ardent Beatlemaniac - but I needed to go out of my way to specifically seek out knowledge of Brahms, Billie Holiday, the Clash.

If I wish to present a diverse spectrum of culture to my children, I feel some responsibility to avoid over-representing the ephemeral 80s culture that formed my worldview, but also avoid leaving out those ephemera entirely.

True enough.

That's quite clever, tbh

man why can't people spend the holiday season doing something loving and traditional with family, like terrorizing strangers outside best buy?

who's the guy?

I believe he may be an early 20th century hair pomade magnate or something. Shamefully I don't know who he is, even though I do recognize Cher.

ISIS: couldn't pick Nicolai Tesla out of a crowd

Why is it always Nikola Tesla in these things? Like nobody would recognise Ernest Rutherford or HG Wells either.

(assuming that is Tesla, I have no idea tbh)

What's the point in recognizing scientists? Isn't it more important to know what they did?
