I am serious! And don’t call me Shirley!

(Only line I know from that movie, it’s on my bucket list though)

Per the Wikipedia article:

It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers.[38][39][40] In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented.[38][39][40] The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle's readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.[38][40][41]

TL:DR for the rest of the history and rationale: Most of this was rich people wanting more time for their personal hobbies, other people’s sleep and health be damned.

In the ‘30s and ‘40s animated Disney films were targeted at the general populace rather than just children.

1937 saw Snow White, the first feature-length animated film in the US. Animation on this scale was still relatively new so part of the appeal may have been novelty and awe at the technology, not unlike Pixar films in the mid-to-late ‘90s.

How versed are you all in animated movies?

One that may be less watched by younger generations but is still a classic could be the original Fantasia movie. Beautiful film set entirely to music, and where Mickey Mouse drawn in an oversized wizard costume comes from.

Ooh these are awesome!

May I add:

  • Spaceballs

  • Uncle Buck

  • Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

  • Airplane! (Haven’t seen this one but it’s supposed to be a classic)

  • Father of the Bride

  • The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941 I believe, Bette Davis is fabulous in this)

  • Death Becomes Her

  • 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton!)

  • Clue

  • Cutting it close but Office Space is another classic, as is The Matrix

  • Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is also another great comedy

  • Can’t help myself but The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) is possibly my favorite hard sci-fi movie of all time

I could go on forever but those are just off top of my head that stand out as bucket list quality.

This might sound nuts but, programmable/shifting tattoos.

Like, it could detect elevated levels of cortisol in your blood or increased heart rate and then just gently pulse or warm up to a comforting temperature as a way calm you down or remind you to breathe. Or light up like a custom RGB keyboard, or change colors/holographic effects depending on time of day. Anything really.

Sorry lol I’m an old. A lot of it came from some…”interesting” fandoms on tumblr and deviantart in the early-mid 2010s.

A previous comic had her putting on hair clips and saying she was going to a rave. I think this may be that rave lol

It was a sunny Wednesday afternoon, and Larry was perched atop a neighbor’s fence soaking in the rays when he decided to find himself something to do.
