    Is this another one of those data mining tricks? Nice try. I’m not giving a bunch of Internet strangers any hints what month & year I was born. What’s your next post gonna be? Correlate this list of quirky words with each digit of your social security number to find your band name?

  • Circa late 1980s I remember our dad brought home a degauser from work, hey anyone remember what a degauser is? It was a magnetic box (VERY STRONG MAGNETS) with a tunnel to slide a cassette tape through, to erase the cassette tape. Well I don’t remember which of us family members decided its storage place should be on top of the TV but what a fun science lesson that turned out to be 😄 If you moved the magnet around the TV in all different places, the distortion on the screen would follow wherever the magnet was, and IIRC the screen distortion wasn’t permanent. The screen went back to normal when you removed the magnet from the vicinity.

    Same. Perhaps it’s by design. The internet used to be a lot more fun than it is now. Perhaps the people in charge of everything have been intentionally enshittifying the internet to break everyone’s addiction. But I thought they like it when we have addictions. The masses are easier to control when they’re hypnotized by things.
