The Nightmare Before Christmas is family tradition. Going to throw in the first Goosebumps movie with Jack Black. It’s not a great movie but it’s still way better then I expected it to be. Still looking for some more kid friendly Halloween movies though.
Honestly, the cartridge system was a (pardon the pun) game changer. Sure someone did it first but Atari really made it main stream. It allowed for a lot of what we see today. Sure you were dropping what was about a $1,000 in today’s money on a toy for you and your kids but you could play so many games on it.
The idea that you had a machine in your living room that you could change what it did just by putting in a new cartridge was mind breaking in the 70’s. Sure your TV could play 5 or 6 channels maybe but it still was a TV, getting a Atari made it a home entertainment system. The whole one machine that did so many different games paved the way for the whole home entertainment universe we have today.

I’m afraid I’ve got to go old school. If you’re looking for something that was completed but could have gone longer I say Quantum Leap. Don’t get me wrong the finale was great and I loved that Sam decided to keep leaping to help those in need, but man I could use more.
When these thing pop up for some reason my default is assume sexual selection. Chins? sexual selection. Breasts, sexual selection. A sense of humor? Believe it or not sexual selection.
I’ll second How to be Perfect. A really good introduction to ethical philosophy, and if you get the Audiobook there are a lot of fun cameos.
Buoys outside of America they’re pronounced the same.
Fuck yeah, just give the ancient Greeks hindu-arabic numerals and watch them lose their minds. Teach Zeno calculus and watch him try to prove it wrong.
If you’re looking for the biggest change in our timeline for the littlest work I’d give a hindu-arabic numerals to early Greek mathematicians. Watching those guys try to wrap their heads around zero, that would fuck Pythagoras.
So three geese for $10,000 each rather than one brown bear for $100,000?
Too much work. If I want to disappoint a lot of people I’ll just go to a family reunion.
