@dougthedonkey1805 3 жыл бұрын
@Hinters yeah, I think that the biggest reason people like the new trilogy is because there’s some characters they like, some items and planets they like, and admittedly really cool pictures and colors and stuff to go with it. And John Williams is always a spectacular composer, of course. To answer the thing about a fourth sequel, I think that they wouldn’t want to break the mold of Star Wars movies coming in threes. They’re definitely gonna make more standalone content, though
@dougthedonkey1805
@dougthedonkey1805 3 жыл бұрын
@Hinters ohh, I see. I wouldn’t doubt that like twenty years in the future they’ll make another trilogy. Once all the people who were weaned on this trilogy grow up and start being able to pay for movies themselves, they’ll want to see the fourth trilogy out of nostalgia.

... you show 15 groups and yet none are in the western states which do have them. I grew up in northern Nevada and remember when they came out in force... though I also remember more than one summer hearing them, though they were not nearly as numerous. Speaking of insects, we also had mormon crickets. Which have probably given more than one person PTSD from having their house covered by massive swarms.

This is a dumb question but what is Coca Cola supposed to taste like?

Coca cola itself is a flavour. It tastes like itself

No, the flavor is cola, coca cola is supposed to taste like cola. This is why so many other brands have their own colas that taste somewhat similar.

An early memory....I was absolutely fascinated by the cicadas when they came out in 1953 (I was 6 years old, already infamous for bringing ''cute'' bugs home to show off). At their crawling stage I wanted to bring some home--but thought my parents might not be delighted with my new pets. So I put them into a shoe box with nice big holes so they could breathe......and woke up with them crawling all over me!

I noticed that their song only happened once every decade, and that was what I was told. I figured that it was some kind of complex migration, but no. Wow! So interesting.
