My own pet peeve is UI components whose associated action is divorced from the components interaction feedback.

For example, a button that seems visibly pressed (even lights up! Maybe there’s even audio or haptic feedback!) but once you release, nothing actually happens because you were supposed to press it or hold it down for slightly longer.

This even happens with physical controls: in some elevators you can press a floor button such that it lights up momentarily, and even beeps, and yet the elevator doesn’t register the command and you have to press again, longer.

I heard countertop banana stand owners tend to also own banana hammocks.

Than what?

Were they female? 'Cause you know, when you get in bed with four bitches…

It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: “Please do not press this button again. Thank you.”

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!

The last two Dell laptops my work provided me with have little sliders that physically cover the camera. I use them all the time while working from home.

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

The Democratic Order of Planets has a streaming platform, now?

You assume there’s lots of chemicals, but did you check? The process of canning food doesn’t necessarily require a lot of chemicals: a lot of canned food is cooked in the can, after it’s sealed, which kills most of the microbes that might spoil the food and make you sick. And because it’s sealed, no microbes can get in, either.

So, you’ve already tasted lab-grown meat?

Crêpes > pancakes

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

Time is money

I gotta have my naturally sparkling Perri-air

I got COVID twice, and both times I lost my sense of smell. The first time it lasted 3 days, and the second time, the total loss was only for half a day. Both times, one of the first smells I was able to detect was the vinegar in salt&vinegar chips. It’s a strong smell that seemed to “pierce through” the block.

I think someone forgot to go back and edit their question

Distilled water is safe to drink, as long as you have a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

The claim that it “leeches” those minerals out of you isn’t supported by any real evidence.

I used to drink distilled water at home for years with no side effects.
