Am I old because the first thing I thought of was Captain Planet rings instead of infinity gauntlet?

I think Voltron is the most accurate because all the pieces had to connect to make the big bot.

Or thundercats (same deal) or even some of the transformers (I forget the name of the camera bot that was 3 little robots).

My thinking was Scaramanga's golden gun from James Bond.

Golden gun was fun on occasion, I still carry the trauma from playing slappers mode in the complex. My friend would pick Odd Job and pop outta vents - I’d be dead before I’d even seen him.

No. The Infinity Gauntlet was first published in 1991. Captain Planet and the Planeteers didn't air until 1993. You're just thinking of what's new and popular instead of the old-school classics.

No, the infinity gems date back to the 70s and Captain Planet aired from 1990.

But yeah, Captain Planet was a popular show in the 90s and Marvel movies are popular now.

You see assembling 6 parts into one whole as a marvel reference.

I see it as combining like power rangers into a megazord.

Mouthpiece!
Battery!
Chamber!
Batter cover!
Circuit board!
Heating element!

By our powers combined, we are... high as fuck

It's great that the world forces young people to learn technical skills to get what they want! Kudos to her and her friends.

Nothing teaches you about ohms, voltages, and amps better than a vaping hobby (unless you're one of those that use a disposable)

While they've got it apart, they can make sure to use a high quality battery!

Extra kudos to the friend who convinced the others that she is trustworthy enough to hold the ring Cart with Magic Juice inside

See, when I was a teenager, my friends and I passed around a journal that we would each write in for about a week. We'd scribble little comments in the margins and write down jokes and comics and riddles that we'd take turns trying to solve in later entries.

And then Facebook happened.

It's such a different beast being a kid now, if your journal was misplaced it would probably get plastered all over social media and laughed at for being cringe. Obv kids have always had the capacity to be cruel, but the instant access and wide reach has such a punishing effect on outspoken individuality

Dude I remember the notebook. Two of the group of friends got sick. I got sick pretty bad, but it was the fatal butt disease and my friend got a cancer. People just assumed I died because it was easier than talking about fatal butt disease. My buddy with cancer, it was awkward but he got a couple balloons at least. He got to keep the notebook. We made copies of a couple of the comics we all worked on and I have been trying to find them (along with this great editing whitepaper my friend Mark gave me) for a couple years now, but my older archives got jumbled in a recent move

Vapes have cotton inside them, used to wick the vape fluid into the heating coil. The heating coil surrounds the cotton. Ripping a fat bong hit then gets transformed into ripping fat cotton. I guess.

They do the same thing in prison with contraptions to avoid one person having contraband

But this was a solid plan! How did anyone get in trouble for this?
