You too, and get a real gun; preferably something that will accept an auto sear. Looters are much less likely to give you shit when them and their mates eat a 5.56mm shit sandwich.
Never heard of them. The others I’ve heard of thanks to American pop-culture osmosis. Sonic likes “corndogs,” and a lot of characters on live-action tv and movies mention “buffalo wings.” Hell, Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle for a long time to me meant another “Americans go overseas” movie, not a trip to a fast food restaurant.
I knew about Atari and Pong as far as I can remember but those weren’t the first either. It wasn’t until high school that I learned about the Magnavox Odyssey, the true first video game system, in a video game magazine.
The first commercial arcade cabinet was Computer Space (based on the earlier game Space Wars). Pong was the second. The first video game ever on the other hand is a matter of debate. Like do you consider Tic-Tac-Toe to be a video game? There were many early digital programs like that only existed on one computer somewhere. Basically the answer to what the very first video game is depends on what you define a video game to be.

I’ve known people who thought cucumbers grew on trees, and that pasta came out of the ground (as in, they thought there was a “pasta plant” or something similar).
The aversion to canned food is, to me, another sign of panic buying. There’s nothing wrong with cans (unless you don’t own a can opener…? LoL), especially in a situation where you need something that’s shelf-stable (good for a year or two), and usually as easy to prepare as opening it up and heating it for a few minutes. THAT is what you NEED when you’re sick as a dog, barely able to get out of bed, have no energy to prepare a proper meal, and you definitely don’t want to go out for food.
@Ebalosus
Makes sense, because I stocked up an assortment of canned goods like veggies, soups, tuna, top ramen, y’know non perishable goods. But only because most of the stores were cleaned out in my area.
