I mean, by then we had Ronald Reagan, so.....

It's always been a joke.

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

It makes perfect sense when viewed from "the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you're constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave"

Personally I'm a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.

I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.

I have other acids that work much quicker, but I'm having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my "Honey Knife"

Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don't take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.

Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I'm sad.

Nah, I think I'll just continue to smoke and vape to an unhealthy degree in order to disassociate from the banal horrors of modern day. If I keep myself mildly baked and consuming a steady stream of star trek and Stargate, I'll keep myself from having thoughts.

Canon: they're brothers

Fanon: THEY'RE LOVERS!

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

And even when they ARE "punished", their profits far exceed the fine, which IS their only punishment.

If the punishment for a crime is just a fine, it's only a crime for the poor.

While not inherently religious, they come from a religious building.

Besides, I'd argue that If it were simply about being a clock, they wouldn't all be going, every single day, competing with each other for the most ridiculous "music" at noon that can last up to 3 minutes.

I live near a town with a street that was named "church street", not because the church was on it, but seven. The town as a whole has at least 17 that I know of.

About half of them have bells, and of those, 5 ring every hour on the hour all day and night, one rings every hour from 8am to 8pm, two or three ring 3x a day (sunrise, noon, sunset) and the others either don't have bells or don't use them regularly enough for me to notice.

I can hear the chiming from my back yard, which is several miles away from the city limits.

I don't know how people put up with it, honestly. It's nothing to do with my dislike for religion in general, I just hate all that noise, and would not be able to live close to them.

I do think my town is a bit of an anomaly though.
