Reply to TIL that the Convair Model 118, a tentative flying car from 1947, was shelved because its prototype crashed when a test pilot mixed up the flight engine's fuel gauge with the road engine's and didn't see the former run out. While he survived, this killed interest in the project. by ShabtaiBenOron
They let a labeling error kill a project? It's probably better to quit then because of something so small would kill their spirit they were destined to fail, I gues

You can't compare not only two different mediums, but two different forms of intended consumption. That's not even taking into account that video games have a small base than movies so when it comes to consumer pools. You get the success from the proportions you pull on sales.

Reply to comment by CompletelyPresent in TIL female marmosets are more likely to commit infanticide when they're pregnant and getting close to giving birth to increase their own baby's odds of having a successful life by RainManToothpicks
They do the reverse, they force birth so their competition is less likely to succeed.

It's all considered freight if you don't own the line. It's just the freight that pays for itself has lower priority.

Books don't make you smart though, that's just a stereotype that hurts nerdy folk and gives dipshits way too much credit
