                Yes, if I’m not totally wrong they started posting again a little while ago. But I primarily watched them in my younger years, so they remind me of that time.

                I think there’s some controversy at some point and they never really came back after that. Like weren’t they going to make their own game or something and then basically someone just stole all the money and left.

                  That happened, and they had their own me too and ousted a couple of people. But they are still going strong! They have just moved away from minecraft as their main focus

      There’s a pretty cool youtube channel of a girl digging a basement under her house. So what I’m saying is: there’s a man in all of us

        Yeah thinking about it there’s quite a few YouTube channels that basically revolve around I dug a hole for no reason.

        There’s the one where the guy basically excavated a basement for himself, and there’s also one where someone’s digging a mineshaft for no particularly good reason they just feel like it. They have to get it cleared by the city so some official had to come along and be like “yeah I guess it’s fine, but why?”

            Also Colin Furze who dug a bunker under his backyard and now a car elevator under his drive way

            A secret bunker, no less. A big part of the initial project was to see if he could build a secret tunnel from his house to his shed without his neighbour being aware of it. I think by the time he was on to the car elevator he’d given up on that element of it though.

    I had a similar situation as a kid, but I moved into the attic for the night with flashlights and a gameboy. They ended up calling the cops because they thought I ran away. Then I really got in trouble!

    I was still young when I first stayed out too late one evening fucking around with some friends in the neighborhood and my mom grounded me when I got home. Trouble was she didn’t realize that “grounding” someone is an idiom and I thought she was going to bury me alive. Pretty sure she didn’t understand why I was crying.

      I grew up with that idiom and understanding what it meant, and then I went to flight school where being grounded has a more literal meaning. So my question: Was the childhood punishment named after disqualification from flight status or was the term in use before 1903 with a different origin?

      Different episode?

      Reese and Malcom are throwing a football in the house. Lois tells them to stop.

      They end up leaning out of two windows, throwing the ball while technically ‘inside the house.’

      Reese = This isn’t fun any more."
