      Based on what I know about what teens did at drive-ins back then, it didn’t really matter.

      People weren’t there for the show. At least not the one on the screen.

        Basically, it’s an outdoor fuckatorium.

                Nine months later? I suppose that would be an okay name under the circumstances.

                  I mean, human gestation is 10 months, but yeah pretty much.

                  We say “9 months” because it usually takes about a month before a pregnant person can test positive.

                    Yes, because “pregnancy” has traditionally been dated from the FIRST day of the last menstrual period.

                    (I’d like to know more about why that tradition hasn’t been updated to fit the facts, but I’m not saying you’re wrong.)

                    Ovulation doesn’t occur until 2 weeks later, then there has to be both fertilization and implantation, and as you say testing positive isn’t going to happen for another 2-3 weeks, which of course is what turns a “6-week” abortion ban into a 1-week ban.

      And who’s parking at the front, along the right facing the rest of the cars?

        Parking at the side or front is for when you drive there in your own car, and then get in your friend’s car for the movie.

          This whole thing is a giant monument to how bad cars are for society. Like instead of having theater seats for your ass, we have seats for your car. And then these other people, they can’t even bother to carpool, pick their friend up. Instead the friend drives there in their own car, and then goes to join you in your car. Did anyone ever stop to think about how crazy that is?

            Have you ever been to one? Most people do carpool, but on a lot that size theres plenty of room for a few people to have to join late or maybe only make it to the second or 3rd film(most weekends there are 3 movies that play.

            Thursday nights were carload nights and you would cram as many people into a car and pay 35 dollars for everyone to watch 2 movies, possibly 3 even
