For fuck's sake dude. Coffee techology hasn't advanced that much in 30 years. What the fuck kind of answer are you expecting?
Reddit Q: In Pulp Fiction, it is remarked the Jimmy's coffee is some "serious gourmet shit." What would that have looked like in the early 90s US? Is Jimmy grinding his own beans? Using some fancy coffee machine? What would a gourmet home-brew look like at the time?

Pretty good. We made a lot of road trips when I was a kid. I need to get out to the corners one of these days.
Stylized map of the US that shows which states I have lived in, visited, etc. and scores them. My score is 167, which seems pretty good. Max score would be 250+ if you lived in all 50 states and territories.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, or Transformers.
A silver android descends a ramp from a flying saucer. It is a still from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still.

If you see this post a vampire
A cartoon vampire looking at his non-reflection in a mirror. He is in a stone castle. Candles mounted on skulls flank the mirror. The image is from a Pink Panther cartoon.

Two frames: First frame, a ginger cat bites a bar of soap in a shower soap holder. Second frame, the same cat snarls with a face of disgust, angry at the world, regretting his decision to bite the soap.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Noah Smith makes a lot more sense when you learn this is what he looks like. And you know, he's a totally normal looking dude, but not someone who should be strutting around and talking as much shit as he does.

We're one step closer to Dr. Schwartzman's vision.
Gary Larson Far Side comic: Picture of a bearded man in a lab coat with a science helmet on his head walking down the street with a number of dogs doing various dog activities in the background. The dogs all have speech bubbles that say, "Hey! Hey! Hey!" The caption says: Donning his new canine decoder, Professor Schwartzman becomes the first human being on Earth to hear what dogs are actually saying.

This is what I see:
Cartoon character Gumball with his "handsome face," all high cheekbones, cleft chin, and which is really not all that handsome.

I'm not religious, but I believe in the Holy Trinity.

The only king I recognize.
A photo of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. Elvis is sitting in a green leather chair, wearing a blue suit, wide-collared shirt and black boots. He has a cigar in his mouth and is holding a cane with a silver top that looks like a scepter. Priscilla is wearing purple pants and a purple top, sitting on the floor next to him.

It's not just that this is grotesque in its inhumanity; it's also stupid as fuck. Only an incredibly stupid person posts some shit like this and thinks it's pithy or insightful.
Musk's tweet. It says, "In most cases, the word 'homeless' is a lie. It's usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with sever mental illness.

This is the most 80s thing I have ever seen.
Football player Walter Payton in a practice jersey hands a football to Phil Collins' young son, who is wearing a red jacket and light blue pants, while Phil Collins looks on in black jeans and a short-sleeved beige shirt. They are standing on a green field, with trees in the background. There is also an English police officer standing in the background.

An old sci fi magazine cover for Zona 84. An otherwise naked, muscular man with a sword, sheld and helmet faces off against a pink dinosaur-like alien with a head that is definitely a dick. It is drooling. A second, tan dick-monster, also drooling, is in the background.

Grandpa Simpson is substitute teaching. He is sitting at a desk in front of a map of the U.S. He points at a student and says “Too much pie, that’s your problem.”
