Oh wow, this brought back memories anon. When I was younger, I remember my grandmother smoking in the mall during the 80s. I also remember her smoking at Burger King. I can remember her smoking her Virginia Slims.

>>14797360
I wish so much that I'd stolen even one of these.

Don't forget they spent millions designing a pen that would work in zero gravity meanwhile the Soviets just used pencils

>>14798049
give the euro a break. theyre still using all their mud to build houses for ahmed

You ever broke a pencil tip? Graphite is conductive. Imagine trying to catch a tiny gray piece of graphite bouncing around in zero g before it wedges itself into some important electronics and shorts it out frying multiple systems or worse causes a fire.

>>14798234
Me too and at the donut shop in the morning

>>14798267
>fell for a reddit pop-sci meme
The Fisher Pen was made using private capital. NASA spent $6 a pen on them having spent nothing on its research or development. The Soviet space program bought them too. Pencils are terrible in space because of the graphite powder that is naturally produced through writing getting into sensitive electronics in a zero-G environment.

A lot of us did, that's when there were metal jungle gyms and real sand underneith. Now its plastic and the sand's been replaced by little plastic pellets so kids don't get their knees scraped and their overprotective moms freak out.

>>14798082
Some of those things were made of wood too, can't exist today because some little dumbass might get a splinter.

>>14798624

rednecks are the worst. If you are a white American under the age of 70 that smokes WTF is wrong with you? I get that Euros and SE Asians still love smoking so a lot of social pressure to do it or whatever but if you are a non elderly American WTF are you doing?

Unless indoor smoking got banned in America in 2009, I don't believe that there are this many 35 year olds on 4chan still.

>>14801174
Being independent?

>>14801945
it was banned in 2003 in Florida so there are plenty of zoomers that should remember smoking in restaurants

>>14802004
>banned in 2003 in Florida so there are plenty of zoomers
I'm 35 and indoors smoking was fully banned in 2006. I don't remember shit as a 3 year old.

>>14797391
the only place that I've seen do this is Wendy's

>>14797360
>those were the good 'ole days.

It was 10× better going to Newberry's or Woolsworth for a worthwhile meal

>>14802091
doesn't zoomer start at 93-94? i was 5yo when it was banned and half my memories from that age are being trapped in a booth for a eternity, i'm a second hand chain smoker

>>14802262
>doesn't zoomer start at 93-94?
I mean there's no officially cut-off or starting date for any which generation but I'd say you're off by a decade. 26 year olds are millenials. Zoomers I'd say are now only just barely turning 20-21 and most of them are teens and pre-teens.

>>14802116
Theyre popular with asian food places where I live.

>>14801945
4chan is a 1987 birthday website. Deal with it.

I'm also here but only because shit turned sour with my worthless roommate and I don't want to leave my room unless I have to.

>>14798279
Agreed also apparently the graphite from splintering leads could cause a hazard. Fuck i hate seeing that "pen vs. pencil in space" thing it's the lifeblood of pseudointellectualism.

>>14797393
But Anon how would YOU know OP got this from reddit if you didn't browse there yourself, now, HMMMMM?

>>14802633
I would've guessed reverse image search but I tried that on the OP image and went through 3 pages without seeing reddit so chances are that he's a redditor telling people to go back.

Was out late with a friend in Zurich a few years ago and stumbled across a Burger King. Ordered fries, mozzarella sticks and two Heinekens. Total cost was like 25 Euros.

>>14802633
I have a friend who used to tell this hilarious story about the Fens in Boston. The Fens is a marshy public park, pretty much right in the city, and since at least the 50s or so has been a gay hookup area. As the story goes, he says one night back in the 80s he saw a guy cruising for sex out there in the middle of winter, with snow shoes on. How ridiculous that man was!

>>14803065
I posted that pic because the irony is that McDonalds corporate is now pushing for a move away from cookie-cutter boxed-in stores of the last decade because they've proven to be a design challenge.

Corporate jargon has to be some of the wackiest -isms. The best thing about that press release was how they suggested using the existing overhead conveyor systems to create a two story restaurant where all the cooking is done in a wageslave dungeon and they send the food orders upstairs to a much larger customer area.

1984 and also an oldfag. Was poor so rarely went to restaurants, but when we did I remember them asking about smoking/non-smoking sections. My Dad smoked, so I got my dins with a side of super cancer from the concentration of smokers. I remember working as a teenager in 2000, the store I worked at had a smoker's break room. Shit was hella nasty and yellow as fuck. I pitied the poor soul who had to clean that place every night.

>>14808840
Still smells like shit and makes you smell like an Indian convenience store circa 97. Shit is awful.

>>14808919
it wasn't so bad when everybody smelled like smoke, nobody noticed and it helped mask other smells. When i lived up north everybody already smelled like smoke from their fire places and wood stoves

>>14798382
The Soviets used regular graphite pencils and grease pencils. The Americans also used mechanical pencils. Both space programs switched to pens in the late 60s.

>>14808840
it really is. along the lines of aids being an equal opportunity killer and not something pretty much limited to gay men and Africa.

>>14801945
It wasn't banned until 2006 in Colorado. Alaska banned indoor smoking two years ago.

That article's a load of bull. The Guardian did the marketing for some Chinese construction company tossing a coin into the well hoping that it can get a large project. I bet Chinese construction companies would offer to rebuild Buckingham Palace if it had to be rebuilt.

And they would if they were allowed. To the same standard they build everything...

Thankfully, I doubt such projects would be greenlit in the UK.

>>14810547
