I've had multiple people call me "an old soul" over the years and I've never understood what they meant by that

Sometimes I wish I had always spoke Dutch to my dog so that I could yell whatever and anyone who hears wouldn’t associate it with the person they might have said hi to earlier on the sidewalk

New favourite "public" transit network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol_subway_system

14 years ago, a recently new Internet acquaintence sent out stickers to people who gave him their address on Tumblr.

Today I found my "OHEY" sticker in a stack of files I thought was empty. Life is good.

The single most annoying thing on social media is when an account just stops being used with no explanation.

Is the reason society has commonly used 🚻 to mean bathrooms/restrooms-but-primarily-toilets because just showing 🚽 can feel unclean?

“Only people born before a certain year will know what this is.”

When I started playing around with social media, so many people—parents, teachers, &c.—were scared about sharing their lives online.

Now a subset of that group are the most annoying users of social media.

Getting a card for someone. Do I… sound insincere and look up a quip to write or write nothing and sound insincere?

Camping. Definitely was awoken by a party on a boat playing music from 4-6am. Campground staff say there's nothing they can do (the lake is not part of the park) and that the police are highly unlikely to come as it's a small lake.

So… who has a boat and wants to start up some freshwater piracy?

BeReal is all about "today" and doesn't even let you see the past.

Old Twitter was all about the newest-at-the-top feed

X still is about what's trending and showing you recent things it thinks you'll like.

Sure, FB and Instagram show you "memories" of today in the past, but the core is still recent content (and 24 hour content on stories).

Even blogs are all about what's the most recent.

Are there any social platforms that are about evergreen content?

Gotta love living somewhere that has health warnings for both really hot days and really cold days. (Not joking; our weather is great 50 weeks out of the year)

Once I got a job that had a line similar to this in the job listing even though it didn't describe me. I don't recommend it.

"If you don't like to work as a team, don't want to give 100% every day, or are looking for a job where you check in and check out so you get a paycheque, this job isn't for you."

I wanted a “real” biking shirt and my wife picked this up at the thrift store.
