Some great ones were already mentioned. I'll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

Two men walking in the bar and going straight to the bathroom together. Man jumped to conclusions.

I'll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Some info on the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me%C8%99terul_Manole

I can only find the full text in the original Romanian or in Spanish.

The second one is The Goat and Her Three Kids, an adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, but somehow much more grim. I can't find a full translation, but the Wikipedia article tells the story in good detail. The story has been adapted into a horror movie in 2022.

One of the mandatory texts in my country's curriculum was the story of workers building a church and the head architect had to bury his pregnant wife alive into one of the walls, because creation requires sacrifice. The entire crew killed themselves once the building was complete. But that's in high-school.

The first story that starts the 1st grade textbook is about a goat with three kids. The wolf comes and kills two of the kids while the mother is out (third kid hid too well). He then places their severed heads in the window, grinning, to make it look like they're waiting for their mom. The grieving mother proceedes to invite the wolf to a feast (he's family), which is actually a trap to burn him alive as revenge.

Capitalism is provably directly producing unscientific research at research institutions,

So you agree the second statement is not really about science.

Or a child. I see kids playing with washed up seaweed all the time.

That TNT looks like it's an actual pillow. I wonder if that's what inspired adding everything else.

Awestruck seeing all those calls in a one hour interval. It would have been at least 2 weeks for me. Making one phone call requires a full day of pre-call preparation and after-call recovery.

I don't think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.

This is mine

That's what it sounded like from the last insult ("KKK**T"). Maybe "poll watcher" was code for intimidation? (not that it justifies death threats)

My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I've ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

Yeah, I got the reference. I just think it would be funny if one of the characters with a lisp would be the one to say "precious".

The board of directors decided that indefinite pause sounds better than stop

he mutters "it's mine. all mine."

I want to hear Daffy or Sylvester saying "my precious!" at least once during the movie

There are definitely different prices when I'm logged in vs when I'm not. My wife sends me a links to products, and I usually open any link in incognito windows. Several times I was not seeing the same price as her. Opening the same link on my account would show the same price.

Well, I haven't played these types of games when I was young. But I have no intention of spending money on microtransactions and the games I've chosen have been fun as a f2p player, so they work for me.

As for my kids, they're still in elementary school and they've been raised mostly screen-free, so it's not something I need to worry about just yet.

I play these games in bursts. Play until exhausting the actual content, then stop when it turns into a grind-fest. Come back a year or two later when there's enough new content to make it fun again. Usually also with a whole bunch of returning player rewards. Repeat.

A I never ever spend a single cent in these games.

I thought AI was great at picking up context?

I don't know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That's why LLMs couldn't answer how many "r"s are in "strawberry". They assigned the word "strawberry" a lower relevancy score in that question. The word "rescue" is probably treated the same way here.
