One of my absolute favorite science documentaries as a kid!

Why did you cross out what he wrote then write the same thing?

My mom let me figure it out for myself. I wanted to go to mass with grandma so she let me.

I quickly figured out the nonsensical nature of what I was seeing. When I found out I had to do a bunch of extra shit before I could get in line for Jeezits, I lost all remaining interest.

Been an atheist since. Probably was around age 12.

That’s hilarious. Reminds me of this old gem:

Every time I come back from a trip my cats are allowed to have their way with my emptied luggage for one day. Then it gets cleaned and put away. They love it.

My grandma had 3 rescued greyhounds over the years and from what I could tell they were made for sleeping! Laziest dogs I ever saw.

Why is this being downvoted? I’m missing something…

Those scientists have strong stock photo energy. 😂

George Lucas pulled some heat for not having credits at the front of Star Wars, IIRC. So mid 70s would be my guess.

I did mess with Lightwave a bit but never got proficient. I cut my teeth on Imagine for the Amiga. IIRC it was like 2-3 hours to render a single frame of a starship flyby animation I made. I remember it took me a couple weeks to render the whole thing.

I only ever did it for fun though. I actually have a lot of respect for those artists. It’s a lot harder than it looks.

Wow. That would get you a C- in 3D Rendering 101 these days. lol

Probably would have to be the movie Rubber.

If nothing else the constant exposure normalized it for you and made it easier to start. I’m glad you were able to quit. I’ve heard nicotine addiction can be stronger than heroin for some people. So kudos to you!

Yeah man. When I was in the military in the early to mid 90's they hadn't banned it at the federal level at first. It was so disgusting having to work inside. I would go back to the barracks at night coughing if I had to work next to certain people in my unit for any length of time because they were chain smokers and as a lowly PFC I couldn't say shit to anyone about it. I would ALWAYS volunteer for any duty outside just to get away from it.

Second year I was in, they banned all indoor smoking across the entire federal government and I was SO HAPPY. The amount of bitching from those crusty old soldiers though... 😂

Good luck to you man. I went through that for a long time but those days are behind me now.

You know it didn't occur to me that different states banned it at different times and I lived where it happened very early. So that makes sense!

My brother in christ, you have no idea. The rise of the computer age and needing round the clock support for all that entails has really done a number on the working class. I am old enough to remember how chill work environments in the 80's and early 90's were. (Everyone smoking indoors sucked, though)

You would be burned as a witch.

or one Call of Duty patch

This guy knows computers.
