I'm having a hard time understanding any of this.
Why wouldn't a person prefer to find the nearest barn, sneak into a garden shed, or construct a small shelter hidden in a wooded area?
Why wouldn't one be allowed to sleep at a 1c sit-up if they could manage it? What else would they do... read by the dim light and have a chat? I guess there's some value in being sheltered from the cold all night, and going out to sleep rough during the warmer daytime.
And while the 4c coffins sound tolerable... Why no bunks to double or triple the capacity, maybe lowering the price a bit?

"my grandmother [...] would drink highballs. Yeah. For those of you too young to know what a highball is, that's straight bourbon. And they drop a cherry in there like that's gonna break it up. She was great, man. You know what she'd do with the cherries? Feed 'em to the kids.
'Here you go, honey. You're gonna sleep good tonight, huh? Them teeth don't hurt when Nana's over, do they? They don't hurt no more.'

"wherever you live in the US, you can find a place to visit that's very different from your home, without haveing to get a passport."
True of most of Europe, too. Just not the UK, by their own choice.

Merriam-Webster doesn't indicate any racist connotations to the word, and only the faintest hint there might be anything at all negative ("unorganized", "nomadic") about it:
horde noun ˈhȯrd
1a : a political subdivision of central Asian nomads
1b : a people or tribe of nomadic life
2 : a large unorganized group of individuals : a teeming crowd or throng

Is that still a thing where you are? I haven't seen a single trick-or-treater knocking on doors in about a decade now. Apparently they are all going to organized (school?) events, due to the (completely false) myths of tainted candy.

"all the more reason to make sure your window screens are in good shape if you live in vampire bat territory. Vampire bats are scary"
I don't think you really need to encourage people to be afraid of "vampire bats." The name and their appearance pretty well takes care of it. You'd have to put some real effort into topping that name. Maybe "Dysentery-castration viper" or "Hemorrhoid-grave tarantula"

The pledge Balch came up with sounds nothing like the pledge we use today: "We give our heads and hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag!"
While the pledge Bellamy came up with is instantly recognizable as the basis of the pledge used in the US today: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
I'm no fan of Cracked, but I'd have to say they're right on this one, not lying at all.

> they always had them hot and ready to go
Same is true for gas station hot dogs... That's not really a big selling-point. Other fast food chains made their name on "made fresh when you order it" food that is not precooked and not setting under heat lamps for hours before you get it.

Are you sure your coworker didn't get tricked into marrying a seal wearing a mumu, or several raccoons in a trench-coat? Someone should check is all I'm saying....

Seems like incredible foolishness by Hardacre. He noticed it was "darker than usual, but thought little of it." He tried some and and immediately started selling the batch. This back in the age of no food safety regulation, with people dying of food poisoning all the time...
Feeding a sample of the obviously not-quite-right formula to the family dog, then waiting a day, could have saved many lives.

"no looking it up. Off the dome."
I don't get it. Why is this a game? Do normal people have the birth dates of hundreds celebrities memorized. Is this someone just learning that actors often play roles where they appear younger or older?
Here's a few:
Asa Butterfield
Bella Thorne
Chloë Grace Moretz
Maisie Williams
Sydney Sweeney
Or find some up yourself, these names may be more notable to you than I:

Historically, auger drills were the main type, as they removed more wood per turn, which matters a lot when you're cranking it around by hand...
Or how about spoon bits? They were once popular, and they still have a few niches in specialized woodworking.
And double-fluted bits? Like these. They cut when turned in either direction, most commonly found in push drills (which themselves are not commonly found at all, today).
