  • What song lives rent free in your head?

    Jump

  • For me it’s Mountain Town, but yeah that soundtrack is incredibly catchy.

  • What song lives rent free in your head?

    Jump

  • I always have a song stuck in my head, often for days at a time (right now it’s Zorbing by Stornaway), but there are a handful that come back over and over for years.

    The two that come to mind most often are Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John/Kiki Dee and, weirdly, Babaji by Supertramp.

  • What are some foods that LOOK awful but TASTE great?

    Jump

  • Pretty much all seafood. Shrimp in particular tastes fantastic but looks like something you’d try to flatten with a shoe.

  • I really enjoyed SFA, for the most part. It’s funny how people deride it as ‘teen drama’ as if that’s automatically a bad thing.

  • Yeah, in my house growing up we had Win 3.11, then 95, then Me.

    Windows Me was so bad my dad ragequit and switched the family PC to SuSE Linux and never looked back. And, to be clear, Linux back in the early 00s was often not a pleasant experience, but it was better than Me.

    I eventually built my own gaming PC and ran Windows on that, but even then it was a pirated copy of 2000. I only ever encountered XP at school.

  • Apple has removed most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from Apple maps

    Jump

  • Fortunately, no one uses Apple Maps anyway.

  • Umm, where do you put the oil?

    Jump

  • Given they can’t find the place to pour engine oil, they probably won’t know what this means or how to do it.

  • Do you shower facing the shower or away from it?

    Jump

  • Kind of both?

    I hold the shower head in my hand almost the entire time, but when I need both hands (e.g. shampooing) I put it back in the holder and face away from it.

    I can’t stand having the water running directly on my head or face - those waterfall shower heads are my nightmare scenario.

  • I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.

    If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.

    Both quotes attributed to Richard Feynman.

  • No, honey definitely exists

  • The 5-Minute Rule: Why Your 'Toilet Scroll' Is Increasing Your Haemorrhoid Risk By 46%

    Jump

  • Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

    Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

  • Paperweight, an April Fool's Prank from 40 years ago

    Jump

  • Paywalled.

  • Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

    Jump

  • My friend used to bring Game Gear instruction manuals in to school. We’d sit and read them in the playground.

    I never owned a Game Gear but somehow have nostalgia for those games - the instructions created these perfect versions in my imagination that never got shattered by having to actually play them.

  • Wrong answers only - what is this?

    Jump

  • That’s the oft-overlooked TRS-66 Micro Computer System. One of the first home computers to feature coloured blinky lights; prior to that, home computers were limited to using standard E26 bulbs.

  • Artemis II astronaut finds two Outlook instances running on computers, calls on Houston to fix Microsoft anomaly — puzzled caller describes ‘two Outlooks, and neither one of those are working’

    Jump

  • I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it is having some effect on their brand.

  • Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’

    Jump

  • I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.

  • Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’

    Jump

  • The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

    Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

  • Artemis II astronaut finds two Outlook instances running on computers, calls on Houston to fix Microsoft anomaly — puzzled caller describes ‘two Outlooks, and neither one of those are working’

    Jump

  • I’ll probably attract downvotes for this, but I find ‘Microslop’ as cringeworthy as old staples like Micro$haft or Crapple.

    Like, yeah, they’re shitty companies. But calling them childish names just comes across as petty and insecure, kind of like when Trump gives someone a dumb nickname.
