Well kiddo, back in the day when we wanted to watch a movie we would burn a DVD, and we don't want to burn the turkey because it's disrespectful to the bird - plus we try not to burn food in the kitchen

    I wasn't prepared for my son to be my literal mini-me. The amount of items this kid has lost because his head is in the clouds all the time....

    And the memories of my parents telling me to get my head out of the clouds comes rushing in every time lol

    Same about the mini-me thing. Honestly was completely blind sided by how much we have in common. He's only gotten a few nominal traits from dad so far, the rest is like 80% me. He brings back so many memories of my childhood, and I've gotten.... "new perspectives" about my own parents.

    I fully realize I might sound like an ass here, but... do people really, genuinely still have DVD players? Or is it just a turn of phrase, like "dial a number" or "rewind a video"?

    My ps4 is my dvd player and has been since it came out. My parents still have a DVD player and a huge DVD collection.

    They also still have an old tape player but my dad is currently in the process of converting all of our VHS to dvds.

    He just converted all his cassettes so he could have all his music.

    Im in my very early 30s. My dad is in his 60s.

    Different animals come in different formats.

    Domesticated Turkeys have been around for a long time so they are all VHS, not dvd.

    If you want to do this, you need to use a slice of one of the newer hybrid or genetically modified breeds like the Beefalo. They use the DVD format. Although some of the new breeds are on Blu-ray.

    I think it would only show a slice of life.

    I'll see myself out.

    My cousin put a sandwich into my parents new VCR player as a kid. Sadly it broke the VCR player.

    How hard is that to answer though? Just say, "yeah, that's be cool, we should try with ham and pita too!"

    Note: this only works if you use a slice of fairy cake, not turkey.

    I swear this happened with a human head in Wild Wild West (1999)

    There is a game you can play when you’re older called Assassin’s Creed where your DNA contains all of the memories of your ancestors, so you really could see the life of your great great grandpa! Unfortunately, when the turkey died for us to eat him, his DNA broke down and now it can’t be used for memory viewing, so the DVD player won’t work. Do you want to find a book about DNA next time we’re at the library?
