How about you mind your own damn business

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

[wizardarchetypes]

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.

I had a similar tv! It was a tv with a built in dvd and vcr because it was in college and I’m apparently old now. But! The dvd player never wanted to play- unless it was Chicago (2002). First, we would put that dvd in, let it start, and then swap it for the movie we really wanted to watch. It got to the point where we would put in the dvd we wanted and sing “he had it coming!!!” At the screen at volume. Fucking worked *every time*

Bizarre.

I miss when technology had real personality, instead of fake ones designed to generate lies and nonsense and spy on you.

We had a Coke machine in the lobby that would never take your first dollar bill. No matter how many times you tried to put it through, it would refuse it. But pull a different dollar bill from your wallet, and it would accept it on the first try.

So one day, as it was refusing my first dollar bill, I opened my wallet to find no other dollar bills. I put the original bill back in my wallet, fiddled around in there for a bit, and pulled it back out. The machine accepted it immediately.

in the 1980s I worked in a mall office supply store (our hottest tech item was a all-in-one word processor with keyboard, tiny yellow screen, and "printer" which was actually just an automated typewriter)

we had a change machine next to the self-service, black-and-white photocopier. one day a coworker made a copy of a dollar bill, trimmed it to actual size, and fed it to the change machine

out came four quarters

they did this a few more times, whenever there weren't any customers or managers around. a few days later, they tried again but apparently the machine service folks discovered what was going on and changed some setting. this clever coworker tried again, this time making a double-sided copy, and voila! it worked again

a few days later, the machine was serviced again, and along with a stern warning from management about how the FBI would become very interested in what was happening if it continued, they told us to keep an eye on the machine whenever someone was near it

sure enough, the anticapitalist equipment stopped working, even with double-sided color copies (said coworker tried again, despite the warnings)

these days that would never work, and if someone were to try, you just know the narc machine would immediately call the cops
