This place was my whole childhood. It was the better version of Chuck E. Cheese in my hometown growing up. There were arcade games, a spinning door maze, a small zipline, and of course they served Little Caesar’s pizza. There was also the mascot from my nightmares that would come out for birthday parties(not my pic). Also fun fact, to this day, caesarland.com will redirect you to Little Caesar’s website! This is a forgotten piece of history that I wish more people knew about because it’s not even on their wikipedia page. I tried making a paragraph about it but it gets immediately removed for not being able to prove my claims with an official source, which does not exist because it’s only documentation is through those who remember it.

Really? That's a little extreme, don't you think? I can want to socialize and be at an event without also wanting you to touch me. Basically what you're saying is "conform to my standards, or stay home ".

I'm perfectly fine talking to people i don't know and accepting a handshake. But I'm also not stupid enough to think everyone is the same way.

There are actually 1.2 billion $2 bills in circulation, and the Treasury still prints them. You never get them as change because retailers can't spare the drawer space. (Same reason you see so few $1 coins.) But you can get them from a bank, and some people do, for various reasons.

Sorry, I think my post needed a /s. There is nothing wrong with white, and plenty of toy cars have normal writing on them - why is this different? I know some ow vision people can only see shades, so white is likely helpful for them.

Nissan, not Chrysler, in fact did use a small phono record. It actually sounded pretty good, since it used natural speech. You'd think, ah, the Japanese, surely they had electronic voice synthesizer technology ahead of the US. Nope! Ultra-miniaturized record player.

They did develop a solid state version of their own by '85.
