Drive in theaters have higher resolution screens, way better audio (and more options for it), a wider variety of snacks, better parking, better vehicles to enjoy the movie from, and brighter projectors.
Soda fountains now allow you to mix any flavor combination you like and there are often unlimited refills along with larger serving sizes.
Happy Days... is still kinda shit actually, not much you can do there, but hey, you can watch it anywhere now! On a phone, on a tablet, on a computer, on a TV, on a VR headset, or even on a fucking refrigerator! Ok, that last one might not be a great invention, but you get the idea.
None of this should really be a surprise though: Tech improves over time (minus enshittification, of course).
IDK, Prius has 0-60 in 7 seconds on the base model at least for the newer stuff. The Prime is closer to 6 apparently.
My point was mostly that even a car that is widely regarded as slow by modern standards would have been considered very fast back then.
Even if you discount electric motors with the acceleration benefits they provide, there's still a shitload of modern cars that are way faster and handle way better than anything they ever made.
Cars are also waaaaay faster today than they ever were in boomer days. You could smoke just about all their 1960s and 1970s muscle cars in a fucking current day Prius lol, never mind something that's actually engineered to go fast.
People argue that it doesn't work today but it's been something that we use regularly (decades for solar and LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF FUCKING YEARS FOR WIND! JESUS CHRIST, YES, REALLY! What did people think windmills and sails were?).
This is not the same thing and unless there is a fundamental shift away from fossil fuels, powering these things will be a fool's errand. It is, at best, a bandaid, and at worst it's an excuse used to continue down the disastrous path we are on.
Later, a report will come out that it doesn't really work just like every other time something like this has come out, but then we'll just continue on this path with unrestrained fossil fuel use because we think we can invent our way out later, making things worse and worse because we're just a bunch of fucking idiots I guess.
Did he though? The company is still doing all this shit and making tons of money.
Sure, they publicly mourned him and condemned the killing, but they also went right back to business, making cash hand over fist with no pause or real consideration to what they are doing to their customers at all.
Yep, you better charge these assholes up the wazoo, they more than earned it! Write that shit up so you're taken care of. Make them understand that their stupidity is costly and their greed is short-sighted.
This shit is straight up evil, will the company be held accountable for their crimes? This is what our justice system is for. Based on what we know so far, more crimes would be bound to come out in an investigation.
That guy got popular around the same time as "Carlos Mencia" aka Ned Holness (a white American guy who pretended to be a Mexican and also stole lots of jokes).
Edit: Ok, he apparently had some Honduran ancestry, but that doesn't really make it any better.
