@Shawngbishop @Super70sSports Little House on the Prairie and WKRP in Cincinnati were competitors. Whenever WKRP got higher ratings, another kid on Little House went blind.

@Super70sSports Quicksand, amnesia and temporary blindness were all staples of 70's and 80's shows!

What was with our society’s obsession with quicksand when we were kids? At the time I genuinely believed it was one of the world’s leading causes of death. Every birthday marked another 365 days of somehow avoiding quicksand,

@Pritzkersgunt @Super70sSports Blazing Saddles put an end to it.

@Super70sSports And why did it’ll just go away? Quicksand thrillers were great. Dude walks up to the “pit” someone slowly sinking. Scrambling to get a tree branch or rope. Great TV

@doppelgangerung @Super70sSports You did but you forgot about it.

@Super70sSports I'm just surprised that despite uncounted blows to the head I have never once developed amnesia.

@HowRYouBud @Super70sSports The pies were really shaving cream.

@Super70sSports Also: *Bang your head to get amnesia, again to restore memory. *1st step in administering first aid is douse patient’s face with water. *Smash a pie in someone’s face, worse they’ll do is wipe their eyes while seething. *Similar reaction when you pour liquid on their head

@CincyFanMark @Super70sSports They never made it past Texas.

@Super70sSports And killer bees. We were all convinced as kids it was just a matter of time

@EricWallich @Super70sSports Mount St. Helen's erupted in 1980. I heard the sonic boom in Vancouver.

@Super70sSports Same for volcanoes as a kid. Thought every remotely tall hill in western PA was about to erupt with lava.

@JMLM0206 @Super70sSports The Church of Satan was real. Sammy Davis Jr. was a member.

@Super70sSports In the 70s, we were going to encounter a Satanic cult while crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, and getting trapped in quicksand with Bigfoot.

@cuilleog @Super70sSports At the beach mostly.

@Super70sSports 100% True! 😂 Where do you even FIND quicksand? I've literally never heard of it anywhere, in real life

@luvthecountry @Super70sSports It's mud.

@Super70sSports I truly wondered where the quick sand was around home.

@TonyFelonius @Super70sSports You have lived a charmed life then.

@Super70sSports I'm also amazed that in my long life I've never encountered a giant squid or piranhas while swimming, never had to escape or eavesdrop on criminals in an office airconditioning duct, and not once been coshed or chloroformed before being abducted in a trunk.

@CrimeMusica @Super70sSports @RedsSuffering The Northwest Passage is open to shipping because the ice has melted.

@Super70sSports @RedsSuffering We would suffocate in quicksand or drown in the melted polar caps which were guaranteed to disappear by 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000…

@fjbfatffbi @Super70sSports Hawaii. New land is being formed by hot lava.

@Super70sSports Don’t forget lava. I always expected to encounter lakes of lava that needed to be crossed but somehow that didn’t pan out 🤷

@ApexOppressor @Super70sSports That happens during a concussion.

@Super70sSports Amnesia, too, was common. A blow to the head, & whoop! Can't remember your name, who you are, relatives, etc

@kblack14644 @Super70sSports It's just mud.

@Super70sSports I agree, every time I got near a river I was worried it was quicksand.

@Super70sSports Death by quicksand is so rare that's it's non-existent. It will get you stuck and you might panic.

@miles_commodore Global warming is one of the aspects of Climate Change.

It was global warming when I was a kid, when did it switch to climate change?

@burdmanorama @Sierra_rak Especially in North Korea.

@Sierra_rak My husband (Korean) says yes (It’s really hard to get fat in Korea btw - I almost never see fat native born Koreans) I’m here right now for the month as a matter of fact and have lost 5lbs just living not even trying

Omg Korea is soooo savage. My friend failed her job interview in Korea and she said it's because she was overweight... apparently, the interviewer said "if you can't even manage your fat, how will you manage a job?" WTHHHHH Do they really say those things straight up to the job applicants?

@NataniaMarshall 70s $ 60,000

Boomer👴🏻: I owned a house at your age, your generation is just lazy… 1950s: $4,000 1970s: $15,000 1990s: $80,000 2010s: $540,000 2026: $1.05M My generation isn’t lazy, everything is just expensive.

@gainshillus @mrmikeMTL Sparkling water is soda.

@mrmikeMTL flavored sparkling water has always been my vice waterloo and la croix fuck soda

Those who cut out soda completely, what did you switch to?

@LindyTasteful That's why Canada wants them to pay into a fund to produce Canadian content.

Netflix has operated the largest production studio in the last 15 years (Grok estimates over $135B in expenditure) and there is basically no cultural legacy with any of the output. No enduring brands, no iconic films, all the content will just be forgotten in the ether.
