Guatemala is awesome. The countryside is beautiful and the people are descended from one of humanity’s major civilizations, the Mayans.

I realize OP is only half-serious, but they still come off as really ignorant.

If it’s not in a song by Sabaton or Iron Maiden, it ain’t real history.

Yeah, I didn’t really like the genre for a long time either, until I was in a place where I kinda needed it.

I see it as an example of cozy slice-of-life. Kind of like Azumanga Daioh but in a deli with a bear and a plant.

Either that, or driving cars to the junkyard to be crushed.

The engineers design the gravel to turn into a powerful sedative/hypnotic but only if you run a truck into it at high speed.

That’s only if you haven’t blessed the rains down in Africa.

Since there’s no “Lord StarTron” in Star Trek, I’m guessing this is just a 0 mask. Why put it there?

• Your average normie’s gonna look at that and say: “Star Trek BS, I don’t wanna think that much,” and forget all about it.
• Your average Trekkie’s gonna mention it to every other Trekkie they know, and thus expand the reach of the flyer. Everyone has at least one Trekkie friend.
• The intended recipient’s gonna look up “Lord StarTron”, see nothing, and then out of desperation just add the birthday to the mask and try that number (which is the right answer)

The cops raid the place with a similar device and find absolutely nothing.

I think the really wealthy old-money people would never say such a thing. Because such a thing just wouldn’t occur to them. And if someone said that to them, they’d just kind of smile and nod the same way they would to a toddler. Maybe say “Ah, yes, very good.” So that’s probably the best response.

But if I were writing a screenplay and had to come up with a one-liner I’d probably go with, “Just goes to show you can’t buy class.”
