I'm thinking not even of anything specific, but just:For a long time, the longevity of things was more or less related to the time it took to craft them. Houses, books, clothes, furniture... If it's poorly built, or if there's no reason to conserve it, it'll probably disappear.Now, anything digital is both immediate and much, much more persistent

Ah, I've thought about something silly but actually realistic!There's a pineapple on pizza meme. You're on the Hawaiian pizza hate train, share it meme, and maybe have some banter in the comments.Years later, you discover that pineapple on pizza can actually be delicious. Sweet, tangy garlicness whirling around in your mouth, you suddenly feel ashamed! You were wrong. How can you face your followers?The answer is of course who the fuck cares? But you're made to feel like you have to.

@jquillin I was always more of a classic gal with a structured coat (wool or leather), but when I got my first knee-length puffer coat, I realized it made it 10x easier for me to drag my ass outside in the winter 😂 I love the feeling of being wrapped in a huge blanket.I have two now, one bright orange and one beige with an artsy motif. I get regularly stopped in public about them.I'm not very knowledgeable about fashion, but for me, regardless of the type, outerwear should be beautiful/fun!

@jquillin thank youu!!NGL, I kind get it, just because I think there's a vibe with a lot of "practical" clothing that it isn't supposed to be fun, pretty or flattering. I always want pretty things!! Even (especially?) when they're useful!Otherwise, they feel like a chore, one I resist... and then wear uncomfortable outfits. 😅This is also why I splurged on the famous Chloe rain boots, and a cute raincoat that has a matching version for my dog! Makes me happy on rainy days.

Personal web dev pet peeve: when a UI shows checkboxes (implying multi-select) but you can only select one at a time

my parents are living their retirement dream right now - they've been driving through Europe for the last couple of weeks, visiting a bunch of their friends and relatives and nieces and nephews. They started from Madrid then went to the south of France, then Germany, Austria, now they are in Hungary... love that for them

The back of my house is open during the renovation and the neighborhood cats are using it as their headquarters. Once I went there and there was a cat that looked at me like "what are you doing here?" Like bro it's still my house! Or you can pay my mortgage then!! 😹Bf went there yesterday and told me they were having a whole party.

@futurebird @etebur yes you hit the nail on the head. When I've seen Africans denigrate African Americans (some of whom have never stepped foot in the US) it was always based on media portrayals and always about distancing oneself - ie I'm not like them bc I'm not lazy, I work hard etc. (Obviously I always call out this ignorance when I hear it)

@futurebird I've seen videos like that referred to as rage bait! But that's kind of too wide an umbrella

PSA: The demonym for Burkina Faso is BurkinabèBurkina Faso is a name made up in 1984 by our socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial president Thomas Sankara. It joins the 2 biggest languages, Mòoré and Dioula, to mean Land of Honest/Upright People. There is only 1 demonym, and that is burkinabè. Bè means child in Fulani, another major language. Child of the Land of Honest people. Burkinese, burkinabese, or any other demonym is a colonial attempt to dilute our political history.

FuckI hate how unaware USians are of how it feels to have war happening in your own land.Joking about WW3 naively, with the underlying security that they won't be the one to flee, leave everything behind, give up on their hopes and dreams, have friends and family disappear, be maimed, tortured and die - only if they volunteer for the last one.This is a scary subject, don't let the political buffoons convince you it's not

To be clear, I'm not saying all WW3 jokes are bad or that you can't joke about serious topics. But IMO, some dark humor comes from experience and some comes from ignorance, and you can tell the difference
