Quick Answer

Based on the available information, the "slipping on a banana peel" gag has been a staple of comedy films since the early 20th century. The first known appearance of this gag on the big screen was in the Charlie Chaplin movie "By the Sea", where Chaplin's character "The Tramp" tosses a banana peel on the ground and then slips on it later. [1][2]

The banana peel gag was soon adopted by other silent film stars like Buster Keaton, who featured it in his 1928 film "The Cameraman". [3] The gag continued to be used in comedy films throughout the 20th century, including in the 1926 Harold Lloyd film "For Heaven's Sake". [4]

However, the available information does not mention any specific 1980s comedy movies that featured the banana peel gag. The gag seems to have been more prevalent in the silent film era and earlier decades of the 20th century. [1][5]

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG's reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.

I mean look you could just not use Visa right? We all have tons of other options, and they're totally not a monopoly right? That's why we're not regulating them, right?

I'm going to be honest, I got about half way through, I just wanted to add something some folks may not consider in this discussion.

Since I first got an EV almost a decade ago, I have spent less of my life waiting for it to charge than I had previously spent getting gas.

I'll note that everyone's situation is unique, and I've had the fortune/privilege of having private parking next to a 120v outlet at both of my previous rentals as well as my current home, but the 2s it takes for me to plug in every night, and the very rare 30 min charging session mixed into a 6hr road trip (when I'd be stopping for food/restroom anyways) means less time standing around at the charger than I would have spent at the pump.

I recognize this is a hard concept to sell to some ICE drivers, because all they hear is 30-minute charging session, but it's real. Admittedly this is contingent on you having access to an outlet at home or work, which I recognize doesn't apply to a subset of renters.

If you can't enter a kill code and have your phone self destruct into a million pieces, can your life even be considered private?

Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower crowd is less "watch me stick it to the libs" and more "look at me, I'm cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you"

Depends on what you are using them for.

E.g., if you maintain a Proton email account because you don't want your emails mined for businesses to advertise at you, then you give very little info away by your bank finding out about the purchase.

If you use it because you're engaging in activity that could be considered illegal, then your bank knowing about the purchase is probably the least of your problems if someone starts digging. Mysudo has to respond to a court order just like your bank and has access to all of the same PII

Yeah, except everyone has had it beaten into them - nobody fucks with gas prices.

Every news outlet in the country runs the same news segment practically daily - "Let's complain about gas prices". We've somehow made it the subject of basically nonstop discussion.

Following up on an paper posted earlier this week on disproportionate carbon emissions based on income. This article, by one of the paper's authors, proposes the possibility of imposing carbon tax on investment income as a more equitable means of influencing emissions.

Instead of putting the responsibility for cutting emissions on consumers, maybe policies should more directly tie that responsibility to corporate executives, board members, and investors who have the most knowledge and power over their industries. Based on our analysis of the consumption and income benefits produced by greenhouse gas emissions, I believe a shareholder-based carbon tax is worth exploring.
