now the rest of you can suffer seeing the clock that has bothered me for years by this point

glares at that clock Ohhh, you're wrong, clock, you're just wrong.

My 14 year old self was always so angry at it lmao

My mom has always loved it for its overall style while I've been too busy judging whoever was in charge of making it

I'm sure it's a well-made clock, with beautiful old machinery that winds a treat. However...

This is also a well made piece of machinery, but with a huge glaring flaw

Me just nearly yelling "oh no..." while Rui naps

Haha well one good turn deserved another, and I needed a blatant comparison

valid tbh

What wrong with the cl--oh.

I'm a tad stumped on the car-plane....?

Well there's no grate on the front so a pedestrian, animal, or another other squishy thing in front of it is apt to have a bad day.

But second, that's a wooden prop, so in the event of a collision, it's absolutely gonna shatter into fast moving, extremely dangerous bits.

(Oh, less obviously? The steering wheels are at the back, so it's more like driving a forklift.)

It would have never occurred to me, because it's such a nonsensical way to design a car )

karmacitadel: lmao that was literally how 14yo me was jfsjjfskfks

"something feels off.... what is it-- oh my god"

Someone does not know the old joke, I see.

“What Roman numeral grows on old buildings?”
Ivy. IV.

lmao

ah, I was assuming the car was a ridiculous prop sort of callback to like, the Wright Brothers era....

Oh, no, in the 20s/30s there were a lot of ideas about slapping plane engines onto other sorts of vehicles. None of them worked terribly well, spoiler alert

yeeeeah, but they were quite the uh. aesthetic, I guess?

Hahaha wildly so, yeah.
