Wait until OP learns about the chaebol system ~~or Nintendo~~

Edit: I was ~~drunk~~ confusing Nintendo with something it isn't, I was wrong

What does Nintendo make that isn't related to games?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Honestly, I'm pretty sure I was just ~~drunk~~ wrong when I said Nintendo. I know they started with playing cards and I think I just assumed they dabbled with other stuff but no, I was wrong. I'll edit my comment

My coworker at Siemens was completing the trifecta: Ball, Cummins, Siemens. The perfect career trajectory

The US government casually approaching heatshield fabrication company ltd. asking them to make nuclear warheads for the price of a gazillion dollars.

Government contract work is a funny thing.

Me: I need some tires.

Michelin: No problem, anything else?

Me: I don't suppose you know where I can get a list of the best restaurants in the world?

Michelin: You're not gonna believe this.

The whole point of the Michelin guides were originally to entice people to drive more to visit hotels and restaurants and such, thus leading to more tire wear which would lead to more tire sales, and eventually more money for Michelin.

I like that the Guinness Book of World Records was created because the manager of Guinness Breweries wanted to stop arguments in pubs (and keep people drinking).

The Guinness Book of World Records is in the Guinness Book of World Records itself, for being the book most stolen from libraries.
