@james_xond If I can sleep at all, yes.

Super serious question. Do all people over 50 wake up at 5 a.m.?

@JamieBonkiewicz How quickly people forget Stalin

Trump is the most hated person in the world since Hitler.

@CaswellAdrian @anon_opin No longer true. The law changed at the same time LED lights were legalised (because before that the law explicitly required "incandescent filament bulb" lights, a law that itself was written to abolish acetylene lights.

@anon_opin They’re not supposed to flash if connected to a vehicle, only if attached to your person.

Who thought flashing bicycle lights were a good idea.

@KeruboSk Me. It was my great-grandmother. I was very young. I am 60 now.

Just out of curiosity… who out there has actually talked to someone born in the 1800s during their lifetime?

@SmalltimeJones Many suspected murder victims, being apparently bodies disposed of in suspicious circumstances, have been declared by the investigating authorities to be archeological discoveries and handed over to the relevant academic organisations. It always goes through the police first.

if you accidentally dig up a dead body doing construction or something, what's the age of burial cutoff for calling in scientists for an archaeological discovery vs calling the forensics team for a murder scene?

@David_Cassidy3 @RetroMoviesDB I thought his first character was one of "The Dangerous Brothers" which he and Ade E performed as a stage act a very long time ago, developing it into "The Wow Show". Or do I have the timing mixed up?

@RetroMoviesDB Kevin Turvey, Investigative Reporter. Rick's first ever character, preceding The Young Ones 😃

If ya know who this is, you're are definitely awesome

@dvafp1 @UridiumAuthor No, that's the reason it's called the far side.

@severs1966 @UridiumAuthor It's called dark side because it's hidden from Earth.

Not to downplay the fabulous achievements of Artemis II, as a point of note to the news: the Apollo command modules went round the dark side of the moon. Surely someone looked out the window then and saw the moon from that side?

@electric_nick_ Electric motorcycles are bot yeya mature product in the way that electric cars recently became (although electric mopeds are about there; and bot everyone in Europe is in a densely populated city.

Unpopular opinion: I think combustion-engine motorcycles and mopeds should be phased out in Europe. It’s hard to justify that a single loud motorcycle can disturb hundreds, if not thousands, of people in densely populated cities, especially when quieter electric alternatives already exist. Noise pollution is also proven to have negative health effects. A reasonable first step would be to stop registering new ICE motorcycles, followed by gradually limiting where existing ones can operate, for example banning them in city centers or during nighttime hours. China has proven how quiet cities can be when you remove noise two-wheelers. @battleangelviv

@lady_valor_07 33

So apparently the average length of marriage is 20 years... Where are you at?

@BladeoftheS @_Brian_Hunter Only if they also give bus passes to those who don't or can't drive to work. Otherwise we are subsidising car owners at the expense of everyone else.

No cheating, post the last saved dog pic on your phone

@pawprintsdaily3 "Her neighbor told her" Who makes dog ownership decisions based on their neighbor's opinion?

@lady_valor_07 I am 60, and it passes my mind occasionally, either when lamenting the passing of yet another friend; or when wondering whether I will go first or my other half, and therefore who will be left behind to face life alone.

When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left? I’m curious..

@james_xond Your use of the term "stick" to denote a manual gearchange suggests that you are in North America. If you wish to constrain your answers to your own country only, mention it in the question.

@james_xond In many countries, including mine (UK) a manual gearchange is normal and an automatic is rare, so absolutely yes. The rise of electric cars may overturn this, because their forward / reverse / park selectors feel much like an automatic.

Trying to prove a point: Could you jump into a stick-shift car and drive it without a problem right now?

@WorkElizab Fred Dibnah, apparently

🤔🤔

@Murk441 Many people say it was an awful car. The engine, however, was used in lots of Ford cars afterwards so that must have been OK.

???

@ThatEricAlper George Melly. But Hans Zimmer sneezed on me in a London musical instrument shop once in the mid-80s, does that count? Warren Cann was with him.

Who is the most famous musician you have ever spoken to

@chefsevenn Why is there a cup of sick with it?

Be honest, what’s your first thought when you see this meal?

@Yorkshire_Tales The Vic & Bob pastiche of this from "Shooting Stars" was brilliant

Saturday night tune…This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of us by Sparks. A 1974 TOTP appearance guaranteed to get the nation’s dads shouting WTF is this!? at the telly. Russell Mael’s a cross between Jim Morrison and Mercury, and Ron looks like he’s about to invade Poland! 😀👏🏻
