They are all over Europe. I have three or four within walking distance. And they can hold some amazingly large items, too.

Yeah, the 90s were a good time for movies that could not have been mainstream in any other decade. I'd place Judge Dredd, Demolition Man and Total Recall in the same "corny, but excellent" league as the 5th Element.
Then you had unofficial double features of sorts: Smoke/ Blue In The Face, Casino/ Goodfellas.
12 Monkeys needs to be mentioned as well, it's probably the most palatable movie on my list.
In the "disconcerting, but unforgettable" league, I'd place As Good As It Gets, The Crossing Guard and, of course, the grisly "8 mm."

Oh, yeah. It unofficially spawned "Friends," too. Also, if you watch the music videos of the OST songs, you'll find many (all?) of them have a "Singles" movie poster hanging somewhere. What an amazing level of coordination.

The next iteration of gaslighting is already here: That it's no big deal anyway since you can just use an ad blocker. Riiight, let's all just turn our eyes away to make the monster go away. Surely, it'll get bored and stop listening and recording, and surely, it will not sell its collected data off to banks, insurance providers, the government, law enforcement... right?

Normative nihilism is going to get us all.

Needs more "amazing." Seriously, screw these corporate ass monkeys.

What in the world is going on with Elsie's hand in the "second of the five photographs?"

Depends? Liquid nitrogen can freeze a lot of vibrational degrees of freedom in place, but if you want molecular rotations to stop as well, there's no way around He.

After I had turned off the webcam in my system settings, my boss twice commented on the shirt I was wearing while WFH. So then I glued two layers of duct tape over the entire upper rim of the laptop, and it never happened again. They did, however, seem inexplicably distraught when we had the next Teams call.

Once they touch the factory floor's floor, plastics become filthy and cannot be used for high-quality applications - food wrappers, anything with body contact. Oils and heavy metals are the biggest contaminants, a plastics-producing company I used to work for concluded. They either sent it all to a recycling factory or used it for very low-quality stuff like trash bags.
Now with post-consumer plastics, not only are they extremely heterogeneous, they will also have even worse contaminants like mold which proved to be very resistant to cleaning, a EU study concluded. So you might want to pyrolyze them like you do with crude oil, but there's just too much O, N, S and halogens, so the output will be too corrosive, but also too heterogeneous for it to make economic sense.
