My partner and I have an amazing relationship. We love each other dearly. We love to fall asleep cuddling. Even though he is 6’4” and I am 5’5” we regularly alternate who is the little spoon. But it is more accurate to describe me as a backpack when he is the small spoon. 🤪

He snores, so on nights when he is the big spoon, I often struggle with the decision to stay cozy in his arms or roll away (which usually happens at some point during the night).

I like to snuggle and hate his snoring (it’s not sleep apnea, just plain ol snoring), AND sometimes I’m gassy. So on nights when I’m experiencing the trifecta, I’ll just fart. I try to be discreet and let it out slowly. But I still do it. To be clear, it’s not gross farts. It’s just little toots. If ever I felt I big one coming then I would roll away and go to the bathroom.

I’ve never told him that I do this. If he’s awake and I need to fart then I will roll away or go to the bathroom. We each have no problem farting in front of each other generally.

I only do it when he’s actively snoring in my ear. I don’t do this maliciously, but I like cuddling, and he’s asleep so I argue that it’s a victimless crime.

But I needed to get this off my chest.

What prompted this question was someone in another post (and maybe another sub, I can’t remember), where in the comments people mentioned movies that have aged well. Many people commented or upvoted comments about Terminator 2. I just rewatched it, definitely enjoyed that experience. A trip down memory lane.

Anyway, now I wonder what is the oldest movie that uses special effects that have aged well. They don’t have to be perfect. The example I shared certainly was not perfect, but I would love to find more movies like it. And again, specifically, I want to know the oldest movies that have special effects that have aged well.

Thanks in advance ☺️

[edit: I apologize for being vague. This definitely is subjective! So even as I think of this, I struggle to objectively narrow what I meant by my original question. I will try to add this (but I recognize that it is still subjective): when I say that the special effects still hold up well, I mean that the special effects looked realistic when the film came out and even today the special effects looks reasonably realistic.]

My idea for the post and comments would be to avoid paragraphs of stories about why the items are useful or how difficult it was to find the right item.

Maybe the format could be something like

**MUST HAVE ITEM IN BOLDED ALL-CAPS** (*your type of vehicle in italics in parentheses*) - seasonal/weather indicators to show when the item is most useful as relavent via emojis ❄️🌸☀️🍁 - finally one sentence (ten words or less) description for why it’s useful.

I’m hoping the post could be a useful and ever-growing guide for our community. But I really hope the post can be pinned to the top for easy reference.

What do y’all think?

**to bold text:** surround text (first word and last word) with two asterisks [ ** text ** ] 👈🏼 but with no spaces between the text and the asterisk.

*to italicize text:* surround text (first word and last word) with one asterisk [ * text * ] 👈🏼 but with no spaces between the text and the asterisk.

For some reason formatting is not working for me, at least it doesn’t appear to be working for me, but I still like a recommended formatting guide for the post.
