Reply to The internet has become essentially 5 giants sites all sharing screen shots of each other and not much else. by DominosFan4Life69

If all you do is social media, ya. I only do Reddit, socially (too often, admittedly).

Aside from that it is the largest source of global information that has ever existed in the history of mankind. If you want, you can shut that other shit down and use it the way it was intended.

Reply to comment by 4f150stuff in TIL The SX 70 Land, released in 1972, was the first instant camera to use automatic-developing integral film, meaning no waste to clean up, as all process chemicals are permanently stored in the print by Ok_Copy5217

My aunt had one of those. I loved that thing. Now I gotta dig through my moms old photos. I may have a print from it. Shit, it almost hurts to say that was 45 years ago and I remember it

Reply to TIL that NBA Player Lou Williams was almost carjacked in 2011, until the thief recognized him and stopped because he was a Lou Williams fan. Lou Williams took him to McDonald's as thanks. by FiNN8778

I’m 6’10 and have almost been mugged twice. But, in both cases once the would be assailant was standing toe to toe with me, we ended up talking about where I played, how tall I was, what size shoes I wore, and parted ways by shaking hands and exchanging goodbyes. Wild shit. But, I’ll take it over the alternatives.
