I don't know why, but this strangely reminds me of a sporting goods store -- like some game would be played by swinging your meat like a baseball bat. It doesn't look like food to me.

Wow, what a coincidence. Now I'm wondering how common it might have been back then for people to have owned a tan couch. Boggles the mind.

The one with the blue shirt and sailor hat... wait, I'm thinking of Gilligan's Island again.

I guess when you are studying lice, it's a good time to lose your body hair. Those things are gross. (Wording)

They don't believe in fires, so they don't have fire alarms to wake them up.

Special effects and tricks of light. You can't convince me otherwise!

It's "legit difficult" because you barely have any control. I tried playing it the other day and gave up after about an hour of frustration. I don't want to be too hard on it, because I know first person shooter controls hadn't been well established at the time and I don't remember having such a hard time when I was a kid. If there is a more modern control scheme (instead of splitting looking and moving the way that it does), it would be a lot easier. I just can't wrap my head around it now.

Reply to Apples are usually depicted as red but the most common apple flavor is green. by SandwichedPotato
Color coding. Cherry is already red, strawberry is pink even though strawberries are red, raspberries are blue for some weird reason, watermelon is a slightly different pink than strawberry, apple is green, lime is a yellow green, grape is purple even though green grapes exist.

Ok, sorry. My confusion was from the title saying that it "shown the correct date, time... from 1750". Any clock can be "correct" if it is constantly being corrected by someone.

What I meant was that the title says it has accurately shown the time since 1750, but this quote mentions grime, dust, wear, etc. It's amazing that friction or damages hadn't make the clock become less accurate over time. Was it that it was set in 1750 and is still correct today, or had the clock ever needed to be adjusted to correct the time?

Amazing it's so accurate if it is as bad as this quote makes it seem to be.

I don't live in an area where meat is sold like this. Do people wash them when they get home? It kind of weirds me out that they are not wrapped in anything. How do you know how many dirty fingers have handled them? Is the room refrigerated, or are they just out in a normal temperature room?
