That’s not “cross-dominant”, you are simply a lefty who has adapted to living in a right-handed world, just like me. I can’t use a computer mouse or fire a gun left-handed, but only because they rarely made these things for left-handed people when I was growing up, so Ive only ever used then with my right hand and struggle to switch sides.

That said, my aim with a mouse and a gun are awful because I’m not right-handed. I have a feeling that I would do a lot better with these devices if I was more accommodated in my childhood.

The processed meats are not what make the Mediterranean diet healthy. It’s one of the least healthy components of the diet.

I strongly agree, which is why I use a single 65" 4K gaming TV, instead of 4x 32" 1080p monitors arranged in a grid. You get the same screen real estate, minus the bezels.

0/10

One out of the 3 monitors doesn’t match, and none of them are OLED (or even IPS).

That damn “warranty void if removed” sticker. I wasn’t allowed to tinker with the old family Win3.1 PC until 1999 because of that damn sticker, and only because we finally replaced the old dinosaur with a shiny new Windows 98 SE laptop.

The irony is that I regret my decision. 11-year-old me thought it would be a good idea to take the entire thing apart without knowing how to put it back together, so I never did. It would have been nice to still have it around to relive childhood memories…

On the bright side, it sparked my interest in building my own PCs, which I was finally able to do in 2008 after saving up my money. Core 2 Duo E8400, 4GB of DDR2 800, and a Radeon HD 4850. Built it powerful enough to run Crysis. It couldn’t run most games beyond 45 FPS, but back then that was good enough for me. These days even 120Hz no longer looks as smooth as it used to. Can’t wait for the day when we finally get blur-free 1000Hz OLEDs

You won’t find these people online, but I can assure you that they exist in numbers.

You don’t mind the stench? Their washers are notoriously stinky because water gets trapped where it shouldn’t. I had to clean mine every week.

I don’t think I have that because I recall music the same way. Usually it’s just the chorus or a verse playing on loop, though, and the actual song never sounds exactly how I remember it.

True, haha. I’m the oldest and my youngest sibling was also born in 1995. She had all the things that 90s kids had, thanks to hand-me-downs. Cassette Walkmans, N64, Windows 95, flip phones with black and white screens + no camera, etc.

That’s a fair assessment. She is the youngest and her asshole siblings would never let her use their game consoles. She didn’t get her own until age 10.

But to be even more fair, I didn’t get my first console (N64) until I was 9. Some kids were lucky enough to have parents willing to buy them expensive electronics at a younger age. Neither of us were that lucky/spoiled. But my neighbor who was one year younger than me had a SNES and a PC. I didn’t get my own PC until 2004. Until then everyone except my dad had to share the living room computer, and it had the shittiest GPU in the world—GeForce4 MX 4000—which was basically a scam card. But it was good enough to run Driver and Spider-Man (the one based on the first Tobey film), so it was good enough for me. Half-Life 2 was out of the question, though.

No I can picture things in my head, just not as a vivid image. Images in my mind are vague and detail-less. Like dreams. Mostly I remember the emotions associated with the memory, not what my surroundings looked like at the time.

FWIW I have ADHD, so asking me to remember anything with any sort of detail is already a challenge enough as-is.

Dude it’s the same meme. You’re being pedantic.

“NSFW” simply means anything you wouldn’t want your boss to see over your shoulder if they so happened to walk by. It doesn’t have to be pornographic.

Why do the best memes always have to be morphed into a shitty anime version?

Speaking of brains, my girlfriend claims that when she imagines something in her head, she sees a detailed image in front of her, as real as real life. Meanwhile thoughts in my head are just concepts and words. I mean I can imagine what something looks like, but it’s an abstract of the basic concept of the thing, not a detailed image in my mind. It takes a strong psychedelic for me to be able to picture something in my head with detail, but according to her apparently I’m the weird one.

Who’s the bootlicker that tried to remove one of them?

What do they look like?

Millennial, here (1988) and this is just my early-to-mid teen years, which I consider part of my childhood.

Showed the meme to my GF who born in 1995 and she couldn’t even relate to half of this starter pack. Her era was Wii and DS, not GBA and PS2. Her first phone was an iPhone.

First their phones, now this? Does LG only want to be known as the company that makes great TVs and shit appliances?

Yes. You are.

It got even worse when COVID hit. I could have sworn that 2019 was just last year, yet here we are, and the 2020s are almost halfway over. It literally feels like I’m missing an entire decade of my life.

Technology seems to be behind 10 years as well. I mean we’ve had 4K monitors for over a decade now, yet you still need to spend nearly $2000 for a GPU powerful enough to run games at that resolution and a modern refresh rate. Meanwhile back in the 2000s, we went from 480i gaming, to 720p/1080i, to 1080p, all within 5 years. Smartphones from 10 years ago were black slabs running Android or iOS, and today they’re black slabs running Android or iOS. Windows 10 has been around for almost a decade now too. Back in the 90s, we went from Windows 3.1, to Win95, to 98, to Me. Advancements in technology and software come in small, incremental improvements, when not too long ago a new life-changing thing was coming out every 2-3 years. The only tech I’ve noticed keeping up with the times is internet bandwidth. In 20 years I went from dialup to 256kbps to 3Mbps to 15 to 30 to 80 to 500; now I have Gigabit internet and my monthly bill has never been smaller.
