Reply to ELI5: why do grocery stores in the US keep such a large inventory? Aside from being prepared for episodic panic buying like toilet paper or bottled water, is there an economic reason to do this? How much of the food ends up going bad? by DrEverythingBAlright
Another thing to consider is those big supermarkets are placed to have a bigger catchment area of customers. So it seems like a lot of fresh food but a lot more people are going through it every day.
Americans typically shop for groceries once a week or less. So for a lot of people a grocery trip can actually be a bit of a chore, 20+ minutes drive, park, haul butt across a huge desolate parking lot. Then load up for a week or more so you don't have to do it again soon. This means one family may only be shopping once every 7 to 14 days so there is plenty more room for other shoppers. This sort of shopping pattern is what encourages the bulk shopping club type store where a family might only shop once a month or so for absolutely massive amounts of non-perishable goods.
In more urban areas you end up seeing smaller grocers that are more around the size you might see in Europe and other places, but usually there is still a mega monster shopping store somewhere.

Reply to ELI5: How does airport technology, still allow people to check in and pass through TSA if Im at the wrong Terminal. by Witty_Buddy7951
The TSA don't work for the airlines. It would be akin to seeing a police officer patrolling or checking for speeding and expect them to know where you are supposed to be driving.

I think that's a little different. With video technology there's no need to go buy theater tickets for a show. The entire industry is already obsolete to begin with.

Might as well just record the stage performers on video as well. Maybe they can make one definitive video cut and stream it to my house so I can watch it in my pajamas.
That's kind of an odd place to use recorded music. If I'm paying the outrageous price to see a live Broadway show I'd want to hear live music.

The first half is arguably as horrific as the actual horror elements to me.

I've got to imagine that was really awesome to see in theaters but likewise between the rotating stuff in the room scene and the fact I saw so many spoofs of it before the original film it didn't quite work for me.
