“suggest this less” “show this less” “recommend this less” i hate how across the internet our ability to curate our own experience, hell even our ability to give a definitive fucking NO to shit, is being stolen from us. its infuriating. “okay, we wont show you this as often… but we will still show it to you” MOTHER FUCKER I SAID NO.
All I’m gonna say about this recent wave of UFO nonsense is that it better not be true.
I’m a reverse engineer who has in the past worked for the US government. If it turns out those punks have had a bunch of flying saucers they have been hacking on, I’m gonna be LIVID.
I’m over here tearing down toys and smart toasters and you’re telling me I could have been disassembling a quantum flux ionizer off a centauri warpship? I’ll be so fucking mad.
Okay, but this is genuinely adorable. I love how the first kid, after entering the number, was like “what do I do now?”. I bet the kid was trying to figure out where the “call” button was, because if you’re only used to cell phones, it’s not really intuitive that the call will automatically go through once you finish entering the phone number
These days, the concept of a dial tone is rather obsolete for a cellphone-centric world, so it isn’t a surprise these girls are young enough to be unfamiliar with it or the hookswitch. Only place you see traditional telephones are in office buildings and older homes that still use it.
When dial service was introduced, the Bell System had to put together instructional films to educate telephone users. So many people were used to being able to pick up and tell the operator who to call for them, so you had to suddenly learn where to find phone numbers. They didn’t even have pushbuttons telephones yet, just rotary dial.
That’s so fun! How we circle back on ourselves! This is so wholesome
