Based on the available information, the “slipping on a banana peel” gag has been a staple of comedy films since the early 20th century. The first known appearance of this gag on the big screen was in the Charlie Chaplin movie “By the Sea”, where Chaplin’s character “The Tramp” tosses a banana peel on the ground and then slips on it later.

The banana peel gag was soon adopted by other silent film stars like Buster Keaton, who featured it in his 1928 film “The Cameraman”. [3] The gag continued to be used in comedy films throughout the 20th century, including in the 1926 Harold Lloyd film “For Heaven’s Sake”. [4]

However, the available information does not mention any specific 1980s comedy movies that featured the banana peel gag. The gag seems to have been more prevalent in the silent film era and earlier decades of the 20th century. [1][5]

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG’s reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.

Depends on what you are using them for.

E.g., if you maintain a Proton email account because you don’t want your emails mined for businesses to advertise at you, then you give very little info away by your bank finding out about the purchase.

If you use it because you’re engaging in activity that could be considered illegal, then your bank knowing about the purchase is probably the least of your problems if someone starts digging. Mysudo has to respond to a court order just like your bank and has access to all of the same PII

If you don’t subscribe it’s pretty unlikely that you’re going to have legal grounds to sue over anything to begin with

This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.

Haha friends, that’s a neat trick

Something something pot kettle.

Or even better, my experience with them - they can permanently mark you as poor when the person who stole your identity in the last data beach (Thanks Experian!) doesn’t make their monthly payment, thus tanking your credit while you’re entering escrow on your first home.

Thanks AT&T, now my stolen information I never even gave you is probably back on the black market! The cycle continues.

I keep a drive at my parent’s house in case of emergencies. Backup frequency is essentially every few months, but I also have the local portable drive with real-time sync I can snag on my way out.

Hard to argue something isn’t an objectively huge advantage to your business if you’re spending $10b for it.

My only fear in all of this is we may get monkey pawed - if Google stops paying for placement, Firefox loses 90% of its revenue, and the anti-trust case may further cement Chrome/Chromium monopoly.
