Just so everybody knows, the website weknowmacs.com still exists and still is located to a town near Ketchum, Idaho.

This is disinformation: Everybody knows Mayor Adam West lived in and ruled over Quahog, Rhode Island with an iron fist until he died.

It takes a real class-act to happily play a parody of himself.

He was a true American treasure.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 12 points 1 day ago

Best character in that show by a country mile!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

The IRS continues to be Batman's most feared opponent. They know where the Batcave is.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

It's a cave full of bats. Can you imagine how stinky the giant guano pile must have been? Honestly, I feel sorry for Robin and Alfred.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

The smell alone would drive you batshit insane

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Why do you think Bruce spends his nights hiding in shadows and beating up people? The smell drove him insane.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Phonebooks were wild, can't imagine phone numbers being publicly available nowadays

[-] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

you mean like on whitepages.com?

[-] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Uh yeah...yeah just like that. Can you imagine?

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

They're not?

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 58 points 1 day ago

My favorite lore about Adam West is that he and the guy that played the riddler got kicked out of a orgy once, because they wore their costumes and didn't break character.

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 28 points 1 day ago

Doesn't matter if true or not, I choose to believe this now. Nobody ask for sources!

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

Can't be true. Can't imagine an orgy where that wouldn't be cool.

[-] kungen@feddit.nu 9 points 1 day ago

I thought that's where that guy from Pokémon came from?

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 day ago

it's fucking insane to me that there was no such thing as a billionaire in those days, and now it's like if you're "just a millionaire" you're just small potatoes

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Eh, Rockefeller is traditionally considered the first US billionaire, which precedes the creation of Batman by a bit of time. It is wild that we've gone from becoming a billionaire being a first to commonplace in 100 years.

"Just a millionaire" isn't just small potatoes, it's genuinely suggested to have a couple million in assets in the US to be able to survive old age comfortably. Like bare minimum to be comfortable and not in a shitty home where you're possibly suffering elder abuse and possibly separated from your wife/husband/loved ones.

So many of us are so so so fucked. We need you more than ever, Batman.

From my BIL accountant the rule of thumb is 20x your yearly target. Want to life off of 100k? You need ~2mil in investments to be able to take 100k out every year and (more or less) keep the 2 mil (this is based on long term market averages so ymmv)

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago

Usually 4%/x25 has been considered the rule-of-thumb (and that's based on a study that considered dying broke okay; not based on capital preservation). x20 would usually be considered fairly aggressive (although that depends if you are including other things like SS benefits if you are in the US).

Given the super-high CAPE ratio currently, even 4% would be be aggressive if you want capital preservation. Something like 3%/x33 would be more geared towards that.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Ya you're right. I misremembered. It was 2.5 mil which would be 25x. Either way, the other person's point stands it takes literal millions to retire

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

According to Wikipedia: "West and Ward remained friends until West's death on June 9, 2017, at age 88."

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Sure, that's what Ward claimed. But on June 9th, he said, "finally. It's Robin's turn."
