The 1st one was so insanely well crafted. It's the only horror movie that has ever genuinely scared me to the core. The body bag scene is so haunting. And the mom putting the bars on the windows is one of the most well crafted twist to increase the plot tension in all of horror.
My babysitter showed me Critters (in secret) when I was 5. Rather than be scarred, she turned me into a avid horror fan. I saw all the 80's classics when I was way too young for them thanks to HBO and Cinemax.
None phased me.
Laughably, what finally got me was so mild. In Poltergeist 2 or 3, there's a scene where the kid's reflection no longer mimics his own movements. It's not even the scare, but rather the set-up.
I started staring at mirrors when I was alone, just waiting for my reflection to break into a sinister smile. My fear was, when it did, what would I do? No adult would believe me. Mirrors are unavoidable. Something supernatural would be after me. I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off some "final girl" shit IRL.
They literally look sloppy unless they feel too tight. I aim for about a 15% reduction in blood flow to my brain; then I know I'm looking sharp.
It's turned into the car stereo thing. In 2002, I wanted a rainbow vomit colored faceplate, CD-R and MP3 support, CD carousel in the trunk, a USB port and a steering wheel remote
Now I just want bluetooth, an aux in and a volume button.
Until phones merge with a steamdeck or something, there isn't much to look forward to anymore.
My phone from 2014 pretty much did everything my current phone can. Certainly nothing worth spending hundreds of dollars on if you have a working cell.
I've been vegetarian since 2009 and in the past 2-3 years I keep getting all kinds of bow hunting videos.
It's particularly amusing when my plan was to watch an old episode of "The Golden Girls."
They REALLY misread my demographic.
I'd like to see this sub more active. I only smoke weed and trip once every few years, but I'm in recovery from harder stuff. I know a lot about harm reduction or layman level neurochemistry....but doesn't seem like there are many people around yet to chat here.
Maybe more will come as the reddit migrants like myself find their topics of interest.
Ok, I'm old and this wasn't a computer prank but it's along the same lines.
I used to have a digital watch that functioned as a small universal remote. (It looked like an 80's calculator watch with tiny numbers.)
You did have to program it with the universal code for that brand, but my middle school had bought their TVs in bulk, so the ones permanently mounted in the rooms were all identical models.
I simply programmed my watch to that model, and I'd occasionally keep turning the TV on during a lesson. I did it fairly infrequently, and always in different classes so as not to give myself away.
I never got caught. Back then Tvs only went to channel 100-120ish without special equipment for satellites. If they went higher I would have LOVED to keep changing it to channel 666 to freak people out.
I honestly wasn't even mad. Though Spez is a dick.
But there's just no way I am using that app. The UI somehow manages to be worse than Retroarch or Tumblr's desktop site.
And I pretty much only browsed at work on my phone.
I am enjoying lemm.ee / lemmy greatly
I've only ever been on one once, but I will never forget my ride on an old school "Sky Diver" model. (It's the ride with boot shaped cars that can completely 360 corkscrew on a ferris wheel frame). I remember greying / almost blacking out on it and I loved every second of it.
I absolutely couldn't believe the GP didn't complain about the intensity.
The zipper is a close second, Chaos at CP might be my 3rd
I would like to donate a few bucks to cover my future cost of using this (instance? Sorry, yet another new refugee learning the site.)
Are there any verified cryptocurrency wallets where I can send a donation? (Don't post your random personal wallet address, I'm not that dumb :p haha)
Prefer to use litecoin but I have bitcoin too.
If not, I can do the CC thing, but this is a perfect example of where crypto is 5x easier and faster on my end.
Thanks, I'll look into that!

I was distracted watching TV. Both my sinus nasal spray and vape were on the table.
I realized I was congested and needed the spray. As a heavy smoker, I am used to grabbing my device mindlessly all day.
So I picked up the vape and proceeded to stick it up my nose because my brain mixed up what I was doing.
I laughed really hard.
