    How hard is that to answer though? Just say, “yeah, that’s be cool, we should try with ham and pita too!”

    There is a game you can play when you’re older called Assassin’s Creed where your DNA contains all of the memories of your ancestors, so you really could see the life of your great great grandpa! Unfortunately, when the turkey died for us to eat him, his DNA broke down and now it can’t be used for memory viewing, so the DVD player won’t work. Do you want to find a book about DNA next time we’re at the library?

    Well kiddo, back in the day when we wanted to watch a movie we would burn a DVD, and we don’t want to burn the turkey because it’s disrespectful to the bird - plus we try not to burn food in the kitchen

    I fully realize I might sound like an ass here, but… do people really, genuinely still have DVD players? Or is it just a turn of phrase, like “dial a number” or “rewind a video”?

      Kind of, I’ve got a Blu-ray player, which I’m not using as I’ve also got a PS5 that can do that now.

      We’ve got a DVD player and a VHS player. And a Nintendo 64, game boy color, etc.

      We’re a bunch of millennials with our treasure trove of old technology.

      My ps4 is my dvd player and has been since it came out. My parents still have a DVD player and a huge DVD collection.

      They also still have an old tape player but my dad is currently in the process of converting all of our VHS to dvds.

      He just converted all his cassettes so he could have all his music.

      Im in my very early 30s. My dad is in his 60s.

      We’ve got a PS4 and a USB dvd-rw drive.

      But then, we’re old.

      Edit to add: my ex had a moment of horror realising the age difference when I said I had tons of cool music and she realised I didn’t mean playlists online.

    I wasn’t prepared for my son to be my literal mini-me. The amount of items this kid has lost because his head is in the clouds all the time…

    And the memories of my parents telling me to get my head out of the clouds comes rushing in every time lol

      Same about the mini-me thing. Honestly was completely blind sided by how much we have in common. He’s only gotten a few nominal traits from dad so far, the rest is like 80% me. He brings back so many memories of my childhood, and I’ve gotten… “new perspectives” about my own parents.

    Different animals come in different formats.

    Domesticated Turkeys have been around for a long time so they are all VHS, not dvd.

    If you want to do this, you need to use a slice of one of the newer hybrid or genetically modified breeds like the Beefalo. They use the DVD format. Although some of the new breeds are on Blu-ray.

      Didn’t they do that old timey thing where they thought you could see the last moments of your life recorded on your eyeball?
