OP should have been about the Jetsons and how much they suck

Qs: Why do they live in cloud cities? What happened to the Earth? Was it destroyed during the Cold War? Is it like Escape From New York where the "surface world" is where criminals and the poor are segregated?

A: gently caress the Jetsons

You never saw the Jeston's movie?

The surface was all kinds of dystopian and post-apocalyptic. There were like little slave animals and mutants and poo poo down there. Everyone living in the cloud city was living in a utopia fueled by exploitation.

That was the Astro Boy movie starring Sir Nicholas Cage.

Except for the ones made in Prague, which are actually funny and imaginative. Even the Chuck Jones cartoons are terrible.

I think his Tom and Jerry cartoons are the only things by him that I hate. With how disjointed they are, though, I just tell myself he was on hella :catdrugs:

No. i think that was the jetson's movie too. The one where pop singer Tiffany voiced Judy.

My dad wouldn't let me see it when it came out.

I remember seeing posters for it when I went to see Arachnophobia, which is an awesome movie.

Edit: Just googled it. The underground dystopia was actually the home of the fuzzy creatures and spacely's sprockets was drilling into their homes. At the end, the furry things agree to be slave labor for spacely while recycling old sprockets.

I still remember when I was a kid I could hear the electronic whine in tube TVs and those anti theft monoliths they put at store exits. It's a really high frequency though, I haven't been able to hear it in ages.

Old capacitors would sometimes make that sound, especially the bigger ones and doubly-especially if they were cheaply made; it's the plates inside them vibrating. CRTs had huge capacitors and if an old crappy one made that whine it definitely made it LOUDLY. You probably don't hear the sound so much these days partly because super-high frequency hearing is the first thing that goes with age (which is why your teachers and parents could never hear the whine) and partly because modern electronics use way fewer capacitors that would be big enough to do that. It still pops up, the cable box that my parents have on their TV does it intermittently, but it's getting pretty rare.

What? No.

It's the coils on the flyback transformer coming loose after a number of years. You're hearing the thing vibrate at ~15.6 kHz. You don't hear it in modern electronics because they don't use flyback transforms to blast an electron beam across the screen.
