I am a millennial and grew up in the time of the family computer being the one computer in the house. My father had an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98 on it, which he replaced some time around 2001/2 (it was a beast of a laptop for its time, but was from before track pads were a thing, so it had the red nub as the built-in mouse). When he replaced it, he let me have the old Thinkpad.

When he was showing me all the cool game demos he collected from mail-in floppys, one of them was for Duke Nukem 3D. It had the entire LA Meltdown part of the game on it. I remember him going into the adult theater, turning to me, and saying, “check this out”. He pressed the space bar, Duke whipped out a few dollars, and said, “shake it baby”. I didn’t understand why a few dollars and a one-liner from an overgrown Bart Simpson would cause a woman to bounce her boobs around, but I think I showed every friend I had those pixelated nipple tassels.

It may have been the first sexualized breasts I had seen in my entire life.

I have been joking with my roommate lately that we’re probably only a decade or so out from landlords putting coin-op toilets in apartments. What a capitalist dystopia it’ll be.

The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard “MAGA” merch is seeing “TRUMP 2028” merch. It’s disturbing how many of those I’ve seen around since the last US election.

There’s an n-word that Republicans tend to use more than other people. However, it is in terrible taste to use it.

I remember hearing apple cores were poisonous when I was in elementary school, and that was before reddit existed. But yes, it is bullshit that they are poisonous.

Looks like the guy from Eraserhead if he was dropped a bunch as a baby

God, I miss how amazing the Internet used to be

If he died of old age tomorrow, his followers would probably think it was a deep state assassination. There would be no convincing these nutjobs that an old, unhealthy person like Trump could die.

I feel like the kinds of people who assume every pepe is a symbol of hate are very similar to the kinds of people who assume that all metalheads are satanic. Some are, and some aren’t. It’s an overly reductionist view.

Man, I love frogs. The alt-right can’t take Pepe away from us.

I have watched this man explain the refrigeration cycle, where he dicusses what latent heat of vaporization is in so many videos, so many times over, and I still could not tell you how it works.

But that doesn’t mean he’s not good at explaining it, it just means I have too much of a caveman brain to understand it.

This is definitely one of the best YouTube channels. I should probably consider being a patron, tbh.

If Republicans remove term limits, it would be amazing to see Obama instantly get reelected for a third term in 2028.

That being said, the USA may not get another legitimate election (help us).

If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.

The kind that sits way, way, waaaayyyy up north by the Canadian border.

It for sure is The Sun, but if you look closely at the logo, you will see it actually says “The U.S. Sun”. So it’s an American offshoot of the British newspaper and the domain OP was accessing is likely hosted in the U.S.

My office uses a Konica Minolta printer and using it is so convoluted

“If he keeps it up at this rate, his as will fall off entirely!”

Because you are training for languaging and grammar daily, you can write for a while without confused.

I was just about to comment that it all makes sense now. Since Musk has no friends, he hasn’t unlocked empathy yet. Someone just needs to befriend the guy, somehow.
