The song wasn't worried that the drink would make you sick. The song is about common items being used to treat a variety of aliments. Scurvy? Eat a lime. Headache, probably from dehydration or low electrolytes? Coconut water will fix that. Hungover? Coconut water and lime is actually a great tasting way to start feeling a little better. This song is like the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" with a catchy island beat.

Also, if you're not already familiar with Harry Nilsson. Go check out his stuff. Great singer and song writer. His music in the movie "The Point" absolutely shaped my perspective on the world as a child and it's themes continued to resonate throughout my life.

Difficult to do it in a way that is physically consistent with a camera lens/sensor.

That's really not true at all. Lots of photo software has precise metrics on a multitude of actual camera lenses specifically to compensate (remove) for the inherent optical properties of said lenses. Using those same metrics to mimic the optical properties of those lenses, rather that remove them, is also fairly common. The optical properties of the sensors are obviously also well known, otherwise digital photography simply wouldn't work. This photo may or may not be AI, but the existence of blurring neither proves nor excludes either possibility.

I did that, but on the ride to school.

This is why the fuck: american football evolved from Association Football (soccer) and rugby. Americans didn't take over the name, the names for each version of the "ball game on a field with goals at either end" developed from different regional slang as each sport evolved and grew into popularity in their respective places. Each of those sports developed various shortened or slang versions of their name. Rugby was really Rugby football. Association football became soccer, a term coined in London and adopted by Americans. Gridiron football evolved from both and become what Americans just called football.

This was great. For an encore, can you write an eloquent defense of American milk chocolate. American Cheese is to the grilled cheese sandwich, as Milk chocolate is to s'mores.

It angers old people because of the poor grammar and bad maths habits, not because children are implying they're old.

The 1900s would still only be like 1909 at the latest. You've got too much precision and called out the wrong decade. This floppy form factor was invented in 1981, peaked in popularity and was replaced by CDs by 2000. Spanning 2 decades in the late twentieth (20th) century, not the late 1900s. See the difference in the number of digits? That difference in the number of stated digits is significant.

It was happening long before TMNT. Transformers, He-man, Teddy Ruxbin, Gummie Bears, She-ra, Care Bears, etc. I'm no expert on which was the first, but I'm sure that the kids that watched it would be too old to really get into TMNT once that IP hit the market. TMNT wasn't even really inspired by toys, the comic was first, they just heavy exploited the toy market later. Shows like Care Bears and transformers were created specifically to sell toys as opposed to designing toys to sell a show.
