Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?
  • This reminds me of this ice cream I used to buy as a kid called the Snow Storm. I've eaten it over the years and one day the packaging slightly changed with a new emblem that stated now made with real ice cream. That's when I started questioning all ice creams. Nowadays I'm more aware of ice cream as opposed to a frozen dessert or treat which a lot of "ice creams" now have on their packaging here at least in the US.

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • Using shift + scroll wheel to horizontally scroll in a UI. Whenever I see my project manager going all the way to the bottom of the application and dragging the scrollbars to move horizontally it just kills me a bit inside haha.

  • TIL When a person receives a kidney transplant they don’t take out the old kidneys, they just shove em to the side and leave em in there.
  • Transplant patient here! Started with my 2 and then got 2 more added in my mid 30s. Later they took 1 of the transplanted ones out because it was clotting.

    Score so far:

    • 2 original kidneys that have basically been so damaged that they provide no filtering.
    • 1 working transplant that is doing all the work and being a champ!
  • Games that stuck with you
  • For me, it's Beatmania by Konami. I first played it as a highschooler in the late 90s and it's totally changed the way I visualize music. I will never not think of music as notes falling towards a line because of it.

  • The mask ban shit is unreal.
  • Both my wife and I are immunocompromised (kidney transplant and cancer). We wear a mask because getting sick really sucks and it's not just COVID. We're glad most people got used to the idea of seeing others in masks because here in the US it wasn't a common thing like it is in Japan. I never expected others to continue wearing them but we get harassed often for wearing ours. It's so frustrating now that I simply yell "she has cancer" whenever someone confronts us. Some go as far as to tell us to "stay home" then if we're so scared. We're just trying to live too and sometimes that means us wearing a mask when we're out.

  • The mask ban shit is unreal.
  • I was at a theme park yesterday and got harassed because my wife and I were wearing masks while waiting in line for rides. I have a kidney transplant and my wife had cancer in 2016 so we're both immunocompromised. Just whose fun are we ruining?

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • I think this is the case where certain people simply can't see it here the difference.

    I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that's in the 1000kbps range is not straight up "clarity" in the sense that something like an instrument is "clearer" but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn't matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don't have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.
