My oldest never hit this, but the younger one who is currently 3 basically matches this comic exactly

Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they're not valid, just uncommon IMO.

Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make "smart" analog clocks now?

Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It'll "automatically" change, but I have to turn it on/off. It's basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.

It wasn't world, Lemmy.ml is his home instance which does the censoring

SteamOS is arch based and uses KDE Plasma as the default DE, so you could probably run Endeavour OS and be pretty darn close

My dad's go to is "Joe's Bar and Grill, this is Grill speaking". Sometimes he'll shake it up and answer as Bar instead

Typically, this is what the cards are themed as, at least the older sets. White and Black are "enemy" colors in Magic: the Gathering after all, same as Red and Blue, Black and Green, etc (based on their position in the MTG color pentagon).

That said, there were some definitely racist cards that got banned and pulled from databases in 2020, Invoke Prejudice being a notable example.

It shows a hooded executioner with a black axe. “If opponent casts a Summon spell that does not match the color of one of the creatures under your control, that spell is countered,” says the card. It effectively kills off creatures that don’t look like the creatures already on the table.

Potatoes you have to keep mounding up with dirt to force the plant to grow more roots (tubers) instead of the leafy tops.

From what I remember, they got bought out by Coke and the quality rapidly declined shortly after. Plastic bottles, basic flavors, no more witty lizard quips in the cap.

YES that's it! Honestly never thought I'd see it again, thank you for the links!

This vividly reminded me of the browser flash game for Bionicle that LEGO had on the Bionicle website when the original run was big. I logged so many hours in that game, I wish I could find an archived version to run through again.
