As someone who struggled with analog clocks into my twenties, being able to see the hands move gives me a better sense of time passing and I remember reading stuff that supported that. I have a better sense how much time I have left for something looking at analog vs digital basically and it's a fairly common experience apparently

iirc, there were some statements from companies (Microsoft?) that we won't have to worry about AI's effect on climate change because it'll also come up with the solutions
It's a style of bidet actually. I had one in a house my family lived in as a kid. Never understood it, installed a hand bidet instead and that one was left unused just sitting next to the toilet

Aaaaand I just realized the joke is she's chastising him for "acting helpless" when that's probably exactly what she's doing... Had to come back to comment once it hit me

I think this is quite the popular opinion, even among people who enjoy social media. I feel many people just accept this is the current state of things. But yeah, the evolution happened as the stress to monetize increased, so anything to keep people on the platform.
If you post something that makes someone stay on platform long enough to see an ad or two, wonderful! The algorithm will bless you with exposure and the emptiness in your soul will be filled with likes.

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?
Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.
