Honestly, I'd agree that sitcoms on the whole tend to age poorly, but there are some that have stood the test of time. Like another commenter said, Golden Girls still slaps, but the one that I think has shockingly aged the best is The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Despite being over 50 years old, I was laughing so hard at basically every episode, and it only gets better as it goes on.

It's relatively progressive politics for its time have also ensured that it stays relevant, like the episode where Phyllis finds out her brother is gay and she's just relieved that he's not dating Rhoda. That aired in like... 1972 or 1973. That kind of casual acceptance could almost be considered radical for the time, and the women's rights issues it occasionally brings up are still relevant.

But I think the biggest reason it's aged so well is that it's so character focused. It never gets overtly political like Maude, pop culture references are relatively uncommon, and the character writing is so strong to the point that even the supporting characters get good development.

Don't forget Richard Harris, Kenneth Branagh, Jason Isaacs, Alan Rickman, and Gary Fucking Oldman.

The Harry Potter movies were stacked.

Not real, but certainly creative.

Yeah, my friends and I always used Forgotten Realms lore as a base in homebrew settings and then just do whatever on top of it, like that one time we had chocobos in a campaign LOL

What's your favorite cut of human meat, and who are you looking to murder and eat next?

So... straight hair gets greasier the longer it goes without being washed, right? There lots of reasons for that, a few being brushing, combing, running your fingers through it, or just the oil running down it. Well, the curlier your hair is, the harder those things are to do. In fact, oil often won't run down the strands at all on very curly hair, so you'll be left with an oily scalp and increasingly dry hair. Shampoo is inherently oil stripping, and if you put it on curly hair that's already lacks oil, you'll just make it even more frizzy and awful. Hence, a lot of people with curly hair forego shampoo.
