• Star Trek Cereal Promotions in the Early 1990s: Cereal promotions tied to Star Trek were common, especially with brands like Kellogg’s, General Mills, and Shreddies. For example, Canada’s Shreddies cereal in the early 1990s offered unpainted starship toys, including the Enterprise-D, Klingon Bird of Prey, Romulan Warbird, and Ferengi Marauder, which came with stickers for decoration. These were small plastic models, not spoons, but they align with your memory of Star Trek-themed cereal prizes.
• Spoons as Cereal Prizes: Cereal box prizes in the 1990s often included plastic spoons, especially themed ones. For instance, Kellogg’s offered lightsaber-shaped spoons for Star Wars promotions in the mid-2000s, which were popular and memorable. While no specific Star Trek ship-shaped spoon is documented, the concept of a themed spoon as a prize was common, so it’s possible you’re recalling a similar item.
• Other Star Trek Collectibles: The early 1990s saw various Star Trek-themed food-related collectibles, like the 1989 Kraft “Marshmellon Dispenser” (which included a plastic spoon, fork, and belt ring as a mail-in offer) and Weetabix’s 1995 Star Trek Generations cut-out display scenes. However, none of these explicitly describe a spoon shaped like a starship.
• Memory and Confusion: It’s possible you’re conflating a Star Trek toy (like the Shreddies starships) with a spoon-shaped prize from another promotion. For example, Nabisco’s 1958 “Spoonmen” figures, which sat on spoons, or Kellogg’s Star Wars lightsaber spoons might have blended in your memory with Star Trek imagery, especially if your grandparents had Star Trek memorabilia around. Additionally, the term “spoon heads” (a derogatory reference to Cardassians in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) might have created a mental association with spoons, though this is unrelated to cereal prizes.
I’m willing to agree with this that it might have just been a plastic, unpainted Star Trek ship I am remembering but it was shaped like a spoon so my mind mixed the two up.
The one I got off Amazon for like $25 is only slightly more difficult than replacing your toilet seat. Remove the existing toilet seat, screw this one in, put your toilet seat back on, connect to the water inlet the toilet uses. About a 30-45 minute job in total.
There’s no electronics because it uses the water pressure to push the water through, so it’ll work even with the power out.
Especially good for renters because it’ll be just as easy to remove and leaves no permanent change.
You could go all out and get a more expensive one with heating and other features too, but this has worked for me. Saved me a lot in money.
I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)
But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.
I wondered about this. Would they be in violation if these were mods made by them that they received no additional payment for? Does it matter if it’s released officially or by individual accounts of the devs?
Thankfully Nintendo can’t do shit about every day modders.
I’ve met a few other 90+ people and they seem the same way.
I’ve been trying to reverse my negative outlook on life, especially since I’m largely blessed compared to much of the world despite the few issues I encounter. Even if it doesn’t affect the age, who wants to live so many decades being absolutely miserable?
One of the notable people I’ve met who was 92 was telling us about her time as a nurse in WWII and she said she stopped drinking at age 23 and never had another alcoholic beverage.
I liked playing in VR from time to time. Why remove it? I don’t get that. I can understand not including new features for it, but why remove it from the game?
Only of the instance you’re signed up with. If you go to Search and then Explore, you can filter for just yours to see all the available communities from your instance.
This is a frequently asked for feature that still has yet to come for any instance.
Seriously. I used to actually use Siri.
I realized this yesterday when I went through the manual process of unlocking my phone and looking for another LLM app to ask a question.
I don’t even trust Siri anymore to open an app.
Don’t get me started on music. I used to be able to say “Hey Siri, play this whole album” or “play that song” and it would play the whole album.
She’s absolutely useless.
