the promised third “f”
In this case, its a hidden option after Fight.
I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turns out that none of them ever see it so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.
The_Helmet_Stays_OnMight as well collect what you love…as long as you don’t keep them in jars it should be fine.
IndiBronyDon’t kink shame!
jordanlundMy (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:
In my living room at the time:
All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
70% sure she just married me for the TV.
Vanilla_PuddinFudge“Honey, will you marry me?”
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
3 CD towers, but I’m counting only 2 CDs in them.
Nice setup though
Yeah, bought them as speaker stands.
That’s an awesome TV.
Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?
tetris11I’m guessing D was learned early on
I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke…
Rush - YYZ
She, for sure, did mot married you for your cable management.
There’s Rush fans, and there’s deep cut Rush Power windows Fans
That TV is sweet.
SanctusYo PSOE1&2? I’d have married you too.
PSO? Fuck yeah.
potoooooooo 🥔The other 30% was the Dreamcast.
If you got money and really want something like it there’s eBay as an option potentially.
You’re looking for a Philco Television
Good luck! If you don’t have money to light on fire you might just have to accept the dream won’t become reality.
Some people also make art pieces either with or just as smaller reproductions. So that could be an option if you want something just aesthetically pleasing but still will be pricey.
I was so excited until word four.
I was looking for an original to restore but there are problems doing that:
They are FULL of paper capacitors. All of which have to be replaced.
Once you do that, the set is still black and white and has no modern inputs, coaxial and dipole only.
So in my research, I found a tiny company in Dousman, WI who bought the Philco Predicta license. Not sure if they are still making them, keep in mind this was all 25 years ago. Was $2,500 + freight shipping.
Another lemmy gold.
Thanks for allowing me to learn cathodic TV this old was still manufactured in the US in 2018.
God, they’re so beautiful.
Maybe it was her first time seeing moving pictures? 😏
ShaggySnacksThose damn talkies ruined movies!
Working Man live in Rio… My lord
Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.
What can you tell us about that TV?
The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.
The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta
It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:
In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.
25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!
RubberElectronsDude but that’s a pretty kickass TV.
If people can’t love you because they can’t accept that Fluttershy is best pony then that’s their loss.
You still have us. Brohoof /)
henfredemarsBest pony? But that’s not Rainbow Dash!
MelodiousFunkThat’s a funny way to spell Cheese Sandwich.
Maybe I’m just your basic bitch*, but it’s Twilght Sparkle for me. I just like her look; last time I had my hair dyed it it was modeled after her mane / her anthro’s hair. I didn’t really like the show, but I only watched a few episodes.
- is that word gender-neutral in context, or should I be using “bastard” or something else?
No clue. Everyone can like what they like IMO. And I’ve liked Weird Al for like 40 years lol.
BatmanDiscord got me hooked. Cheese Sandwich made me realize there was never any going back now.
Y’all are crazy. Grown adults going on about silly ponies.
The real G.O.A.T. (and I don’t mean Grogar) is Pinkie Pie. She’s fun, chill, suprisingly powerful, and got real backstory depth.
I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.
She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.
zarkanianBeing anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven’t seen since furries.
You gotta admit part of it was probably deserved.
Like the fact that people were trying to create imaginary friend ponies using Buddhist meditation techniques, the existence of Cupcakes (and all attendant media), and the popularity of “clop” flooding Google images such that a lot of little kids probably saw pony porn while looking for pictures of Twilight Sparkle to trace….
I saw this as someone with a homemade Applejack perler bead on my refrigerator.
It is endless amusing that this whole thing started because some journalist lambasted Friendship is Magic for using Flash, /co/ got intrigued, and then the rest is history.
I just learned a lot about the pony fandom
I think it beats Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls. Darger totally would have posted to /mlp/ if he was alive though, so it balances out.
Sounds like all the same reasons people hate on furries. “You ruined ny childhood!” Bitch, you searched without Safe Search turned on! Rule43 is a curse for many.
The thing is that stuff has always shown up, even with safe search on. It’s sorta like you can image search any given Pokémon and there will be something lewd almost immediately.
I do think adults who enjoy children’s content have some responsibility in making sure that stuff isn’t as easily accessible. There had been an online adult My Little Pony fandom before bronies, which was far less toxic.
How would you explain this to a kid? Also - blue boards are supposed to not be porn. Technically SFW but lol
Pony Thread Simulator V0.16
Aviandelight My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).
JoeBigelowToo… hot…?
They’re like a hundred degrees, centigrade.
talDon’t kink-shame.
“Hot” in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.
Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I’m not opposed to keeping hots but I’m also a safety oriented person.
irelephant [he/him]🍭Is this it?
nightmare fuel
My mate accidentally stepped on one of thous in Laos once and killed it. All i heard was a loud crunch.
If you ever change your mind, you can just move into my place. Nobody invited the centipedes, yet every spring those creepy bastards find their way in.
Thats scolopenders right. Are there venomous centipedes?
They’ve got toxicognaths to shoot you full of venom with.
Giant Centipede, The Best Pet Invertebrate?
That dude is way too happy in that video. But that’s pretty close to the same pitch my husband gave me.
Y’all have vinegaroons? I kept one for a while. They’re amazing to “terrorize” children with.
We did have one for a bit. We did a whole arboreal tank set up and even got it to molt twice. They are amazing to watch.
Oops I was wrong we had a whip scorpion not a vinegroon. Husband just corrected me.
