@beardalaxy @KingKrouch I hate TV sports in general. I don't get the point of watching grown adults play the same game that some kids play during recess. To me it's no different than having televised hide-and-go-seek games.

I brought up American football because unlike baseball (which is also popular in countries like Japan), it's ours. Everyone else associates the word "football" with soccer. Sure, it's filled with ads and more recently, woke propaganda (at least when it comes to the NFL), but it will always be a sport that we can call our own.

I was also going to bring up basketball, but I felt like if I brought that one up, someone was just going to reply with the "American culture" copypasta so I backed off at that.

I've never been to a drive-in movie theater. I only saw one once when we passed by one on a road-trip but it was closed and wasn't showing anything. I think they got phased out because it seemed like even back then, they couldn't show the latest movies, only re-runs and indoor theaters have the advantage of having multiple screens and can show multiple movies at once. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they still have them for independent film festivals.

>or if it isn't a drive-in it'll be displayed on a big blow-up screen at a park and you bring your own blanket and picnic.

I think a local elementary school hosted them and probably still does. I never been to any of them though.

@KingKrouch @beardalaxy There are other examples: cookouts, rock-n-roll, jazz, baseball (even though nobody knows it's true origin), American football, apple pie, burgers, classic diners, drive-in movie theaters (though the latter two have been phased out over the years).

@beardalaxy Finally, someone points out an aspect of American culture that doesn't involve hyperconsumerism.

Something about bowling is very Americana. Going with some friends and grabbing milkshakes always brings me back to a time period I didn't even really get experience.

@admin @Soy_Magnus Lead might become more valuable than gold if the economy completely collapse.

>literal gold littering the streets but people are too retarded to see it

I thought you lived near some junkyard or e-waste dump. The latter usually has more gold than a goldmine.

@penguin @caekislove Literally every job available requires it. It's not my choice.

Why doesn't Java have operator overloading?

@ryo Steam is optional. You can run whatever you want on a Steam Deck as long as it can handle it. You can even install other operating systems on it.
