It doesn't matter if it's a shovel or a dishwasher. I want solid, simple quality, not the latest soon-to-fail technology.
Social media is now a massive part of everyday life, shaping how we communicate, work, and even relax. It helps us stay connected, discover new ideas, and share moments instantly. At the same time, it’s changed attention spans and routines in ways we’re still figuring out. And here’s a wild thought: it’s only been about 28 years since Google started. Imagine navigating life without quickly searching for answers. No Google Maps, no quick fixes, no late-night curiosity spirals.

Can’t Be Doing That Now Thats Fer Sure
Mel in Georgia 39 minutes ago
When my cousins were teens they toilet papered their own living room. My aunt, who was by then well off, gathered up the toilet paper and re-rolled it because it could still be used. My mom thought it was the perfect and hilarious example of the frugal mindset of those - like her family - who grew up poor!
So many things we once thought were impossible now feel completely normal. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are perfect examples of that shift. AI is no longer some sci-fi concept reserved for movies. It’s woven into daily life through virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. From recommending songs to answering questions, it quietly helps us all the time. In healthcare, AI assists with diagnostics and imaging. Advanced models have also pushed huge leaps in language processing and image generation.

I'm so old that we used to have blackboards. Now, if you're used to BLACKboards instead of WHITEboards or smartboards or whatever, and you don't know why they got rid of blackboards, hold on your chalk erasers: They were radioactive. Yeah, as the GRADUALLY phased them out, they never told you why, did they? Turns out slate is way more radioactive than any ocean water in the Sea of Japan ever was. Of course, so are bananas. (Yes, bananas actually are used as a unit of measurement -- of radioactivity!) Of course, slate is way way more radioactive than bananas.

AI is no longer a sci-fi idea limited to futuristic movies. It’s deeply woven into everyday life, often in ways we don’t even notice. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa help manage schedules, answer questions, and control smart home devices. Recommendation systems power what we watch, listen to, and shop for online. In healthcare, AI supports diagnostics by analyzing medical images, detecting patterns, and helping doctors make faster, more accurate decisions. Advanced AI models have also driven major breakthroughs in language processing and image generation, making tools like chatbots, translation apps, and creative software more powerful and accessible than ever.

Wearable devices have also changed the way we think about health and technology. Smartwatches and even smart rings track steps, heart rate, sleep, and stress levels. They gently remind us to move, breathe, or rest. Some can detect irregular heart rhythms and alert users early. What once required doctor visits and machines is now sitting on our wrists. Technology has become personal in a very literal way. It’s like having a mini health assistant with you all day.

Even movies and TV shows once imagined these advancements long before they existed. Films like Avatar showed worlds powered by technology that felt impossible at the time. What once felt like pure fantasy now feels closer to reality. Looking back, it’s fascinating to see how imagination predicted progress. The future we dreamed about slowly became the present. And honestly, it makes you wonder what today’s fiction will look like tomorrow.

It’s truly fascinating to see how far our world has come in such a short span of time. Technology keeps pushing us forward at a speed that still feels unreal. And yet, there’s something incredibly comforting about things from the old days. A familiar sound, a forgotten gadget, or an old TV show can instantly bring a smile.

We had this and graham crackers on Sunday mornings at our Unitarian church classes and then spent the hour discussing human rights, listening to comedy albums, or doing other outrageous "liberal" things.

You know you're old if you can remember a time when you could write down the name of a cartoon penguin and not be censored.

You can still get them, I saw an ad online the other day touting it as something new.

My mother had one, but the slider was slightly beveled and food got stuck under it so she threw it out

When I first met my husband he played me this, and he also had Tibetan throat singing on CD. He’s lucky he was so hot!

Oh my God, I had SUCH a crush on him, and I was too old to be having crushes on sexy rock stars at the time.

I Miss Unloading My Groceries On To One Of These
I swear these conveyors were better for actually getting stuff out of your cart. The round conveyor and the grocery cart formed this little corner that provided better access to the groceries in your cart.
With a standard conveyor belt I feel like I’m always having to lean/reach over the handlebars/child seat and it makes picking things up more difficult. I can’t even reach the things at the front of the cart leaning over like that.

I miss having actual checkouts open so you didn't have to check out and bag your own price-gouged, shrinkflated, c**p quality food.

Sometimes you'd get the cop frequency. Is it a felony if you tell a cop trying to get you off their radio to go suck it?

Of Course I Wore Tube Socks
Roxy222uk 8 minutes ago
What do Americans mean by tube socks? I used to think i t meant ankle socks but these are knee high, so I don’t know.

These silly striped socks were very popular in the mid-late 70s in the US. I have no idea why. I think they started out as sports socks.

"I dunno, Davey". It was always on Sunday mornings. That and Rocket Robin Hood. I hated both because Sunday mornings meant getting dressed up for church.

Sunday morning, it was the only thing on other than church services…

We should make our own European version. They are fun, it's just that so many of them are local stuff.

BP please fix your effing site. I can’t scroll past #5 without the page refreshing and pushing me back to the top. The ads are also hijacking users to error sites. This is on iPhone - it must be 10 times worse on desktop.
