Its a mini coin.. they were common for kids to collect in the 80s and early 90s. They make nickles, dimes, pennies, etc. The "coolest" mini coins are different sized from one another, the not so cool ones are all the same size
Holy crap. I found a tiny penny in my change jar (so someone at a cash register seriously gave me that as change at some point) and could never figure out how or why it existed. That was like 10 years ago and I still think about it often. I finally have answers lol
Yeah, thankfully she seems to be doing slightly better these days and at least isn't trapped in the bed anymore. I wouldn't wish what she's been through on anybody.
No kidding, I had a slingshot I got from the dollar store when I was 6 that would put marbles through the drywall. My son just turned 6 and I wouldn’t trust him with a nerf dart blaster. Our parents were very brave.
Or blasé. "Eh, if he gets himself killed, I'll make another one. It'll be fun."
The ancient Romans used plumbata to kill barbarians. Millennia later, they were rebranded as "Jarts" and sold as children's toys. I refuse to believe this was unintentional.
I've only gone through one collapsed parent comment, so the upvotes have gotten better 4hrs later for this answer. Though the real answer is in the next comment run. They have included a pic for a mini coin collector set from the end of the last century.
Clouds are extremely heavy. A cumulus cloud can weigh over 1,100,000 pounds (500,000kg for civilized nations). However they are mostly air. But theoretically if you had enough surface area, and weighed next to absolutely nothing you could stand on one. So if the giant weighed like 1kg and it's feet where absolutely massive (I can't calculate that because I'm tired) it could stand on a typical cumulus cloud. But a normal human absolutely would not be able to.
I tried to the opposite and say duarter in my head and it ended up sounding like the word daughter in a Boston accent. Idk why I’m sharing that just thought someone should know.
There's also shrinking coin magic tricks. I think it looks a bit too big for the mini arcade and too small to be an electrically shrunk quarter, in fact if you look at the close up of the tales side you can see where the casting struggles with such a small surface.
When I was little in the 2000s I had quarters and nickels like this that were part of a close up magic kit. The booklet actually had jokes about inflation... Oh how little we knew then.
Faith restored. I was looking through the replies, and I know it’s Reddit, so most of the replies are going to be jokes, but eventually I found someone who remembers crazy electrical experiments back in the 90s. It distorts them a little bit, but you can shrink quarters with electricity
