Unfun fact: due to growing up with tablets instead of normal computers a lot of kids nowadays don’t know how stuff like directories work.
More worryingly, shoving them in front of a tablet every time they’re being difficult means they don’t learn how to regulate their emotions.
Difference between my daughter and her cousins is night and day. Few studies confirming this correlation with violent outbursts later in life too now.
Tried giving it her on a plane once and she had no idea what to do with it and sat and played with her toys instead, so not that intuitive. She has a mechanical keyboard hooked up to a Pi instead.
Also your link is broken
your fault, and THANKS for doing this to the people that i’ll need to have take care of me when i’m old and feeble. water? like, in the toilet?
We’ve made tech way too accessible - and now we’re paying the price for it.
Back in 1995, we got our first family PC. Dad was never able to use it; despite our efforts to teach him. Couldn’t grasp left and right mouse button, much less concepts like directories, installing software, drivers, etc.
But on his iPad? He can do almost everything: e-mail, Facebook, watch TV, YouTube. And get subjected to boomer brainrot. Just like a toddler.
Is he more tech literate? Absolutely not. In fact, he’s regressing if anything. But we’ve made it so easy, even my completely tech illiterate dad can now argue with strangers on Facebook or post dumb shit on YouTube.
And it fucking shows. The amount of goddamn complete idiots online is shocking. I miss 1995, when you had to be a nerd to get online. It filtered out a lot of folks who simply shouldn’t be online.
Velcro is just so much better, why the fuck do we use laces?
Aesthetics and tradition I’d say. Maybe there’ll be a generation that couldn’t care less about tying and there’s a big flip.
And then their kids have a hipster revival of laces and yearn for a nostalgic time they never lived in while saying they were born in the wrong generation lmao
Hopefully it comes soon enough
I’m so lazy and I never untie my shoes so when I put them on again they are damaged a bit, and then end up not lasting for long. Apart from that, it works surprisingly well. Do people do that do?
My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they’re usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it’s probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.
If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.
Doesn’t the alcohol attack the fabric and makes it go white or something?
I’ve only done it about 5 times so far and I don’t see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It’s only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.
If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I’ll come back to your comment to let you know.
Great then :) if not sure if it could do that. It know it tends to happen with plastics but I always fear it could happen to other things
Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I’d let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I’d recommend that instead.
