I understand why they would need a "bulkhead seat" but not the cheek-splitter. Why not a round dome or something else that you wouldn't want to sit on for long, but won't hurt if you fall onto it?
I'd think a bicycle would be far more practical... Smaller, lighter, silent, unlimited range, with no need for detours to search for additional fuel. The fact we never heard of it (vs something like a Jeep) suggests it wasn't very successful.
I still use bar soap at home, never fond of liquid, but I must admit foaming soap has some advantages... You don't even need to wet your hands first, which helps when the water is cold, scarce, or completely unavailable.
And why aren't there borax dispensers in every bathroom?
The Soviet Union's advantage early on was not nuclear, but conventional. They could have suddenly rolled their massive fleet of tanks across Europe on a moment's notice, before the US could even start forming a response force. Not to mention how easily the USSR could have captured West Berlin (which they tried to blockade into oblivion). That's why nuclear weapons in Europe were so critical to NATO. No USSR allies similarly neighbored the US, except Cuba.
Well, thanks for the invite, Miss C. Party at your house this year...
They have some better options on their map... Drive-in movie theaters. Tour of a Hershey's factory. Little League World Series. Bear watching. Chinatown. Crater Lake. Castro District. Disneyland. etc. Their top-10 list could easily have been much more "exciting."
Or they could have at least embraced the boredom, and titled it "Ten Most Historically Significant..." and not pretend there was anything exciting about their suggestions.
Leave it to the Smithsonian to decide that the "MOST EXCITING" way to celebrate a major milestone "birthday bash" is to visit museums, presidential libraries/residences, and watch historical reenactments...
But the Star Wars universe takes place many, many thousands of years in the future.
Actually, I believe you'll find that it takes place: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."
This video was pretty awful, though. Painfully repetitive, unresearched, and just dumb... No one is expecting to walk away after getting (any weapon) through their chest.
The Amazing Bulk looked to me like an awful attempt at humor. Bet it all sounded funny in someone's head but with the Ed Wood levels of self-delusion and zero budget, fell completely flat on screen. Ala Kung Pow! (2002). A few of them, like Avengers Grimm (2015) and Thor: End of Days (2020) had good enough production values that I wouldn't be disappointed if I picked up the DVDs from a dollar store. But I'm sure they were banking on tricking people into spending quite a bit more. It's difficult to complain when big studios are relying on public domain characters/stories, so everyone else is free to do the same. And even mainstream studio make Twin Films all the time... Deep Impact (1998) vs Armageddon (1998), Red Planet (2000) vs Mission to Mars (2000) vs. Ghosts of Mars (2001) [all 3 are terrible], The Prestige (2006) vs The Illusionist (2006), etc.

Easy: I give you, planet Hoth.

At least their "250 places" map is interesting.
