...you have to wonder, hey, if this civilization is so evil and only thinks about war and torture and kicking puppies, then where they get their food from? who builds their cities, or if they're (racist) savage nomads, their tools and who trains their animals? who raises their children and how? who keeps cultural practices of "being evil" alive? why hasn't their culture of backstabbing and rule of the strongest collapsed a thousand times already?

Basically, if you have beings that have a physical, natural existence, they need to eat, they need to have shelter, and to raise the next generation. And yes, even raising them communally or in hatcheries or whatever counts. You cannot have a whole civilization dedicated to being evil or even to war; for every soldier, there is someone carrying his supplies and making his weapons and a family at home. If we're talking about spiritual beings of pure evil, literal demons that don't need to eat or sleep or reproduce, that's another thing. But if we are talking about beings that live in the world, that are part of the physical world no matter whatever fantasy features or traits they have, that have societies and culture, then you have to wonder; where the food comes from, who raises the children, who makes the weapons, who trains the warriors yes but who trains the farmers, the toolmakers, who teaches the children to speak, who tells the stories.

I used to be a soda drinking fiend ,but due to health stuff I had to quit drinking them ,I havent drank a Soda in 5 years .For the most part......I dont miss them ,but there are moments ,specifically when Im at the movies or eating a burger where I have to surpress the urge to order a Coca Cola

But while I dont drink sodas anymore I was reflecting on the ones I liked to drink .Cause in truth.......I was not picky with Sodas

Now when it comes to soda the question stands :Coke or Pepsi......While I liked Wild Cherry Pepsi,I was never fond of Pepsi,I was a Coke man .I liked classic,Vanilla and Cherry.

But when it wasnt Coke I had three go toos

Dr Pepper -My non Coke go to,I miss it

Sprite :The best of the Lemon Lime Sodas

I loved Root Beer in general but my go to Root Beer was Barqs

What were/are you guys's go to Sodas if ya ever drank Soda

I came to the conclusion that every person has the right to at least one addiction, and mine is sugary stuff, and this includes sodas.

My favorite flavor and brand of Soda is already a big point of cultural crash between me and you @thealmightyemprex Have you ever heard of guarana? Here guarana sodas are so popular that when I was growing up, my aunts used the term guarana as a short term for sodas.

My favorite is Guarana Antártica

The second favorite flavor/brand is Pepsi. I don't know why, neither me or my family ever liked Coca-Cola that much. Pepsi is our go to choice

My third favorite flavor/brand is Orange Fanta. I love orange Fanta so fucking much.

Another culture crash. In Brazil we don't have Doctor Pepper. I was always fascinated if it's good.

I do like Orangina, but we can't really find it in Italy.

It's also interesting that thing with guaranà! In german the word for lemonade, Limonade/Limo has become short hand for sodas. Another drink I do like is Bionade.

Speaking of german sodas, in Germany it became popular to mix Coca Cola or Pepsi with orange sodas like Fanta, and that eventually became its own drink(s) like Spezi

Or Mezzomix, from the Coca Cola company

My brother likes these.

Another soda that is pretty popular in Italy is cedrata, which started from the company Tassoni, but has since been used for any soft drink on citron base.

We got a new couch ,we think Ziggy likes it

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

The Hamlet-like aspects of The Lion King weren't always part of the plan for that movie: that fact I already knew. Scar wasn't originally conceived as Mufasa's brother, but as a rogue lion who wanted to take over the pride. But then the creative team decided it would be more effective if the threat came from within the pride rather than without.

Here's what I just learned from the Woolverton article: the decision to have Scar be Simba's uncle wasn't inspired by Hamlet either. It came from one of the filmmakers (his name wasn't mentioned) who had once been betrayed by an "uncle figure" and then had to testify against him in court. But when Woolverton saw that this movie was going to be about a prince who has to defeat his uncle who killed his father for the throne, she realized "This is like Hamlet!" From that point on, she intentionally brought more Hamlet-inspired elements to the screenplay.

This is based only on the classic cartoons from the '60s through the early '90s, which is the Scooby Doo I grew up with in syndication. As a kid I lost interest in the franchise after Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, and I've never seen the live-action movies or the more recent cartoons.

Favorite thing about them: What a friendly, funny, and all-around likable character he is, and how resourceful and brave he can be when it really matters.

Least favorite thing about them: Probably how cowardly he usually is, though of course his cowardice is funny.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I'm anxiety-prone.

*I love food.

*I love dogs.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm female.

*I'm not a beatnik or a hippie.

*I would never own a Great Dane – I prefer small dogs.

Favorite line:

"My stomach's emptier than a piggy bank on the day after Christmas!"

When the gang is forced to stay in a creepy inn that the innkeeper says has "all the comforts of home":

"Like, whose home? Dracula's?"

When the villain of the day has Shaggy and Scooby tied up on a pile of explosives:

"Like, who's gonna build a new us?"

When he hears a creepy laugh and Velma dismisses it as "the wind":

"Well, that's the first wind I ever heard with a sense of humor!"

brOTP: Scooby, Fred, Velma, and Daphne, but especially Scooby.

In crossover-land, I might also like to see him become friends with the sitcom character he was modeled after, Maynard G. Krebs from The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, or with Jughead from Archie Comics, who was a predecessor to both him and Maynard.

OTP: None in particular; his romances never seem to last.

nOTP: Scooby or Scrappy.

Random headcanon: The franchise's inconsistency about whether or not he's a vegetarian is true in-universe too. He switches back and forth between being a vegetarian and letting himself eat meat sometimes. But he always eventually goes back to vegetarianism, for the same reason his original voice actor Casey Kasem was a staunch vegetarian – his love of animals.

Unpopular opinion: I have no desire to ship him with either Velma or Daphne. I like them as friends.

Song I associate with them:

The "Scooby Doo, Where Are You!" theme song.

Favorite picture of them:

Illustrations by Cory Godbey for the novelization of Disney's live action Cinderella, titled "Have Courage and be Kind: The Tale of Cinderella". Retold by Brittany Candau.

Kinda makes me wish for a whole animated film in this style.
