The CD-ROM was predicted to replace all paper documents. Instead, it mostly replaced our ability to keep jewel cases uncracked. Did you use CDs that way?

Do you have pics of your 1st phone? 1st smartphone was the IBM Simon. It had email, fax a stylus, but only 1 hr battery life. $899 in 94'. ๐ŸคฏI may have reviewed my Droid Eris back in 2010. ๐Ÿ‘€

Is being an adult just a really buggy OS that we all have to run? Because my task manager is always showing 100% memory usage

coffee.exe helps. What else?

Every single weekday, we hop in our cars, hit the same roads, follow the same route to work. Yet we never really see the same cars twice. It's like a constant, ever-changing parade of metal and rubber. Happy Monday!

Okay so once we're all cruising in self-driving cars, are windshield wipers going to be obsolete? I mean, the car doesn't care if it can "see" through a dirty window, only us humans do.

Imagine if our 24-hour clocks flipped the script, starting at 23:59 and ticking down to 00:01. Do you think we'd squeeze more out of every moment if we felt that sand slipping away? Oh yeah, happy Friday. ๐Ÿค“

Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It

Don't forget, email almost killed the postal service. Then, ironically online delivery revived snail mail to be more needed than ever! Since today is Prime Day, it's a perfect time for an #ad on this epic book on how we can de-shittify the Internet๐Ÿ˜Ž:

I'm a very elaborate, flower-based sentry. Hard-hat wearing cat says I should stream again. What would you want to see? Is playing Fallout too close to home, or Magic: The Gathering, or.... cozy, 'forget-the-apocalypse-for-a-bit' video games? ๐Ÿค“

Tolerating the sound of your own voice on a recording is probably the highest form of self acceptance. Prove me wrong ๐Ÿ˜

If time travel existed, would we then have time tourism so moments in time would get crowded with tourists?

I wonder if bosses might be way more chill about remote work if commute time actually counted as paid work hours... by law.

Iโ€™m not political on here. Not because I donโ€™t care, or don't have an opinion... but because I created my channel to be an open source series and rant-free escape hatch from red/blue pill dumpster fires. Now look at the no drama Robo Llamas.๐Ÿค“
