The Amazing Pizza Machine: Theme Park and Buffet in Nebraska

[@s_r_w_4977]

I have trauma from the Amazing Pizza Machine because when I was little my dad got my sister and I all hyped up to go and then we walked in, my dad saw the prices and then we walked out 💀

[@agnoopinni]

There there that does sound tragic 😢💕

[@whereisthebud]

thats so lame of your dad but i get itt💀

[@embarrassedcap]

disappointment is my least favorite emotion, I'm sorry to little you 🫂he should have done like my dad this one time. instead of taking us somewhere that would cost money, he told me and my younger siblings to all get in the car, and our destination would be a surprise! we all kept trying to get hints out of him. annnnnnd he took us to a cemetery 🙄

[@amberbridgeford8088]

This happened to me as a child too 🫡

[@Berryations]

Lol I’m sorry I’m laughing- this is such a messed up story!!!

[@Uniquelyneek]

That was a perfect time to go there. No people, people-ing. The dream. I love y’all for bringing us into places we are never going to see in our lives..but it’s great to know they exist.

Yes, my mom also prefers my little brother. Whenever we talk, mom just wants to talk about my brother. (Almost always; I have complained and she has gotten a little better. Last time, she didn't mention him at all.)

they should add another option that costs $1.50 and it's one ride on the frog hopper

Oh my god I remember going on the frog hopper as a kid and once I hit the top I started screaming and crying so they had to stop it with a bunch of other kids still on it lol

"sigma" is a compliment. Alpha is leader of the pack, beta is a follower. sigma is an independent type who doesn't need a follower, it basically popped up when MRAs started to realize that there are cool fictional male characters that don't have followers (James Bond, John Wick, etc) but they wanted to pretend to be them, too, so they needed a word for it.

noticed in this vid, and past videos you guys are hyper aware of your volume levels so as to not spoil things/ places for other people. That’s unironically a rare and beautiful quality in today’s world. PS- I’m also afraid of “youths” and being randomly bullied. I was bullied so much as a slightly fem/ nerdy child that it’s an auto-trauma response to this day at age 34

[@rachelflora8059]

I used to work in an arcade and we had the cut 2 win game as well. Basically it is preset to win after a certain amount of tries. You would still have to get it close to the string, but if it isn’t set to win yet it will go further or not close enough to it. So people do win, but every 100/500 etc. uses, whatever they set it to. So if you ever see any staff just ask if someone has won it recently. Most of the claw machines are preset the same way.

Skee Ball (or Ice Ball) was invented in 1908, and marketed by 1909. They were 32 feet long initially, until they were actually shortened in 1932 for use at a tournament, and they stuck as the shorter length.

[@TradHomemaker]

I cleared out a cicis claw machine for my nephews birthday and taught the littles how to get toys. I trained them to stand on either side of the machine and tell me if I'm lined up right. One of the kids started getting good at it. In total we cleared one machine and got two from another. Every kid got a toy and I got a rainbow ball for myself 😂

[@JNB520]

That's amazing 😂!.

[@TradHomemaker]

@JNB520 one of the big tricks is to check the claws. Most machines have loose claws that won't pick up anything at all or anything past a certain weight. From there, you just pick the right size toy in the best location to pick it up. Most machines won't work, so when you find one that does, GO FOR IT
