I’ve had something similar happen. Old school mom n pop diner type of restaurant in a “big suburb” level city, sorta “local famous” kind of place, had seen cars with their bumper stickers around town for years, figured we’d try it one day just for shits and grins. The feeling was not bad enough to leave, we went ahead and ate and paid and left. But definitely had the feeling that we were being, not necessarily watched overtly, but they were keeping an eye on us. Everyone. Wait staff, other customers. No idea why. The whole time just vaguely uncomfortable feeling that you can’t really put your finger on. After we left, my wife and I both at pretty much the same time were like “ok that was creepy right?”

Stephen King was what I thought of too. Specifically the scene in (I think) one of the Dark Tower books where they go into the restaurant that is owned by vampires or whatever they were.

The two Joaquin Phoenix Joker movies, maybe kinda sorta? No flying or capes or utility belts, but they’re about Batman characters, and presumably set in a Batman universe, or at least a precursor/adjacent universe.

How’d I do?

I accidentally bypassed the paywall by clicking one of the links to a different article (the “Go fuck yourself, Bambu” link to GN) and then clicking the back button. When I landed back on the Verge article, the “subscribe to the verge to continue reading” message was gone and I had the full article text.

Only worked once tho, I just tried to do it again and I still get the “subscribe” message now.

I would vote for .slash just so we can get slashdot.slash.

A woman noticed her husband coming out of the bathroom without washing his hands, and said “honey that’s gross why didn’t you wash your hands?”

He responded, “well for one, it’s not like I peed on myself, and for two, you put the damn thing in your mouth, I think I’ll be alright touching it every once in awhile.”

The Nokia 2626 was no 3310 or 5110, but I bet you could still beat a man to death with it and then call your lady to tell her you’ll be a bit late to dinner. Whoever tore that down for the metals is gonna be kicking themselves pretty hard when the apocalypse comes.

It’s crazy how much it evolved in just a hundred years. Even crazier that it’s still evolving at all after being extinct for 100 million years.
