Unironically probably a bigger gain for society than 90% of birthday parties for adults, which are just excuses to drink heavily and waste a night doing nothing.

Me and the boys still do shit like that. When we are playing a game together one of us will just long form explain something we know a lot about during downtime.

"Alright, I need you all to pick an approximately 90 second scene from an anime or video game, and explain why it's the best one of all time for any specific category, like spectacle, storytelling, art, hype, whatever.

The TM 31-210 manual appeared as an "Easter egg" in the 1995 CGI animated film, Toy Story. In the scene where Woody is trapped under a blue plastic box in Sid's bedroom, it's possible to see behind him a document titled "TM 31-210 Improvised Interrogation Handbook", a clear reference to the actual document
