I think you’re right! I read the wiki article about the movie and it says:

[Aykroyd] set the story in the fictional town of Valkenvania, which was based loosely on the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania.

Good catch!

I posted the wiki link to the wikipedia community on lemmy.world and someone shared some pictures they took, if you’d like to see :) https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/48698810

Very cool, thank you for introducing this city to me. I read the Wikipedia article and wanted to link it for anyone else who is interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania

This is absolutely batshit insane. I hope you find someone to get your tooth fixed soon, that you get your money back from this idiot, and that McMotherfucker gets fucked.

🫂 Thank you, I needed that :)

Can I have some hugs? I need at least a week’s supply, please :)

I used to have a similar opinion about what things should or shouldn’t count as sports. I took a course in college about sports and I learned that there are actually legal ramifications to whether we call things a sport or not. For instance, there are people who might not want to call cheerleading a sport, but if it is not, then schools are not required to provide adequate protection (like pads for falling) for them. I think we can agree that there is definitively a possibility of getting hurt in cheerleading and so equipment like that should be available.

Give Hank some pets for me! 💚💚💚

My mother-in-law says that her fridge is haunted by her dad. You know how those fridges with build-in ice will beep and have the light come on if you touch the buttons? Hers will randomly light up and beep, and she says its her dad doing it. She’ll even yell at her dad to stop it if its during an inopportune time. I think its cute :)

Good luck, Violet! Here’s hoping for your glorious return, someday 💚

I watch a streamer who plays tons of horror games, and he describes it as one of the best he’s played in a long time.

If it helps, Côte d’Ivoire is Ivory Coast in English, so it is on the coast :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_Coast

Congrats! Enjoy :)

My all-time favorite novel is Blindness by Jose Saramago. I have only read it in English, but it was originally published in Portuguese as “Ensaio sobre a cegueira”.

From Wikipedia: “It centers on an unexplained mass epidemic of blindness afflicting nearly everyone in a nonspecific city, and follows multiple unnamed characters as they navigate the social breakdown that swiftly follows.”

Unfortunate typo lol

Please don’t plant bamboo in non-native areas. It’s much better to find a protected native species and plant those instead :)

In case anyone else didn’t know, those are a prop from The Rock movie from 1996
