I remember Death Clock from my middle school times (early 2000s) https://web.archive.org/web/20080510112324/https://www.death-clock.org/

It was popular enough that I was asked to calculate classmate’s death dates for them (not many people had internet yet).

I often do surveys online and the American ones always ask this. They like to lump all people who look alike together and don’t even bother asking where you’re from. They really believe we are split in different species or something.

I started with a clean profile: I never log in to YT so it’s just using a local cookie you can always clear to start over.

Anyways, I just searched a few sciencey things to feed the algorithm and now I’m getting loads of crazy fake “science” and conspiracies and the rest is all extremist right wing bullshit.

YouTube is getting useless.

I wouldn’t take it that far, just as far as my finger can go

I switched to just using toilet paper. Not sure how much safer it is.

I hate those long distance busses. If you sit up straight, the headrest is in your back. If you slouch down to get your head at the headrest so you can get some rest, the question becomes where to put your legs without pain and discomfort.

Why is this downvoted? I tried it out and it works well. It also does image generation.

Sometimes the reading mode bypasses paywalls and popups.

Also make sure to block “annoyances” in uBlock.

For the rest, I’m using the Nuke Anything extension.

I haven’t seen such warnings for years anymore

what’s with these texts without any punctuation where everything becomes one long sentence and you have to read it three times to figure out how to read it I feel like it’s getting more common

I’ll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I’ve used it for many years now.

Many people my age have terrible boomer parents who just had kids because “that’s just what you do”. They didn’t even consider you could just not make babies.

Maybe we just think more for ourselves than the older generation.

Incidentally I just installed a new laptop that came with windows yesterday and damn, windows 11 sucks.

First you have to find a workaround to install without a MS account, then the default Bing search tells you to install Opera when you search for Firefox, I can’t find any settings (everything is a regedit hack now) and then I found a debloat script that claims it disabled Recall. So yeah it can be disabled (for now).

Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

As a poor European:

Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

That’s $0.40 for a cup.

(Or about 9 beers)

Yes, it tastes a bit earthy to me.

I got a tour of the place where they proudly show these cats in the most horrible conditions. Also, it doesn’t even taste good.

hand over to the teacher

Weird. One teacher, so this is elementary school?

We only have to buy our own stuff starting middle school and it’s only pens and paper and such. And a backpack but mine lasted all 4 years.

spend an average of $701 per child

What are you Americans buying for school?

Some notebooks, agenda, pens, pencil, ruler… It’s not all that expensive
