Sears: think Walmart but without a grocery section LONG before Walmart. Used to be catalogue only. Big box warehouse basically
K-Mart is cheap, shitty Target, basically. Always felt that way to me, anyway.
So the joke is that most normal babies come in a kit from the Sears catalogue (or box store) but Calvin was a cheap, Store-Brand deal that’s almost as good for half the price!
Explain like I’m Calvin is a community like Explain Like I’m Five. Only instead of providing a simple easy to understand explanation, it’s explained in a silly nonsensical (and incorrect) way. Much like how Calvin’s dad often explains things to Calvin.
Does the fediverse have any Explain Like I’m Calvin communities?
There is an explainlikeimcalvin community on lemm.ee
Edit: it’s empty at the moment
Instance agnostic link: !explainlikeimcalvin@lemm.ee
I guess we should start posting there.
I really miss r/shittyaskscience on Reddit.
