Wow, what a classic boomer sentiment. A strong sense of entitlement, the unwillingness to learn new things, the desire for the world to remain static, and the rage against the new. This post might be checking all the boxes.
You might find the hypothesis more convincing if you replace technology (something you clearly care about and are up to date with) with something that's not generally your thing but which changes dynamically, like maybe music, fashion, or architecture

Let's take music. I clearly grew up in an environment where I think I got a rather "acquired", high-brow taste in music.
While I, as of today, do see that some of this taste that I was imprinted with can be a little bit arbitrary, I would clearly say that nevertheless my taste in music is strongly influenced by whether it fits the "taste values" with which I was shaped early in my life, similarly to what I wrote in my previous post:
> So, in my experience it is typically not about the year when something was invented, but rather about whether the invention is a good or bad fit for the values that you were shaped with in your early life.
I find it really hard to relate to people who do that. I never want people to see/hear what I am doing on my phone or computer, especially if it's something dumb or time-wasting. And to broadcast that into the world in a public space?? its crazy how different people are
yeah but do we really need some trash reality-TV for a "shared social experience"? most of TV's programming was garbage anyway and contributed to a lot of what was/is wrong with the society
On a list of cthullian horrors, its one of the less uglier ones. On a scale from mere bad to "reading about it damages yourself", the "nice" is a word describing its location on that scale.
This is fucked and I hate it. Internet is (was?) about convenience and direct access. I understand there are challenges that need solutions, but this ain’t it
Isn't the point of a thermos to put "perishable and fermenting foods" in it, like coffee or tea? Like this could totally have been me, like make a thermos-full of coffee one day, then forget about it only to come back to in some weeks just to open it and have one of my eyes blown off
If you expect that it's rotted, you haven't really forgotten it. That's the whole point: they expected empty containers. Which could happen to you, being (presumably) a human.
Thermos bottles are relatively heavier to their contents than flimsier bottles. That goes double if they're only half full. I have a couple of the recalled bottles, so I just weighed one - 14 ounces empty.
... Would that be good? I mean that soft flat pancake thing they produce. My general approach so far was to aim fora not too soft, not too hard kind of poop. Like a one that slides out of you with minimal wiping needed afterward. Like what would be the gold standard for poop consistency?
