  • In addition to what the other reply linked about cleaning the cartridges, it could be your SNES has some bad capacitors. Not all games use all parts of the motherboard, and from what I understand SNES consoles were somewhat plagued with bad caps like many electronics from the era. If you can solder it should be quite easy to just replace em all in one go; there are even kits you can buy that include all the correct ones.

  • I know a lot of people won't believe it happens, because the simpler and more mundane explanation (which is usually the true one) is that it isn't necessary because of all the data that we know is being collected like browsing habits, searches, etc but my partner has a few times tried to test this as a party trick. Normally her ads are for like kitcschy knick-knacks or like funky flower pots but one time we were hanging with friends talking about this discussion and we decided to all repeat out loud "lab grown diamond engagement rings" for about 15 min. Not 1 hour later she had an Instagram ad that said word for word "lab grown diamond engagement rings." I know it's anecdotal and isn't proof but we've done this a few times and it's seemed to work about half the time; each time we get an ad that's both hyper specific to what we're taking about and also not something close to anything we've been advertised before.

  • In WWI, Australia and New Zealand had their own separate part of the British army called ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) that was reported to have shown true courage, endurance, and ingenuity while maintaining an irreverent attitude despite their first campaign being the horribly mismanaged and disastrous (by British commanders) Gallipoli campaign. Basically similar to this guy's situation the ANZACs were giving their lives in wars that weren't really their fight in order to appease imperialist countries they had ties to and still showed themselves to be really great people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_spirit

  • NASA remotely reprogramming Voyager 1 also means that aliens can reprogram all of our satellites.
  • Actually in ID4 there was an explanation. Basically all of humanity's computer tech came from reverse engineering alien tech. So our computers worked with theirs because they were based on theirs. Maybe this isn't this best logic, but they did at least have an in universe explanation.

  • “No, it’s just fireworks!” Chicago cop opens fire on child with fireworks after ShotSpotter gunshot alert
  • It's only an outlier of you only consider cases of cops being spooked by acorns specifically. I mean this is literally a thread about a cop being spooked into opening up because of fireworks. Cops getting scared who then just start blasting is a pretty common occurrence it would seem, at least compared to how often it should be happening, which is very rarely to never.
