Kid me (from the 90s) was so jealous of my grandma who had a TV in every room. Now I don’t even have a TV. I just watch stuff on the the laptop.

For me, my earliest inspiration was watching Conan as a kid

I saw a car carrier hauling several cybertrucks at once. Would not want to be driving multiple of them in this politcal climate!

I become ruler of every duck I come across.

Yep! That was my thought as well, especially that we can carry the internet around and talk to pretty much anyone anytime.

My aunt used to work as a “cheese stirrer”

I loved Maria Bamford’s Local Act

Oooh I haven’t checked there, thank you!

Persimmons. I know they’re available at least in the bay area because I had them when I lived there briefly, but have never found them in my regular home in the pacific northwest. I also don’t remember them as a kid growing up in Tennessee.

No, but my oldest son(6) loves them. There used to be an olives stand at the farmer’s market near us and we surprised them by bringing a toddler who wanted olives. We let him try a bunch of different kinds. I will eat olives if I’m drunk and someone gives me a slice of pizza that has them, but otherwise they’re a no for me.

The free popcorn at Les Schwab

He liked them! He just ate 4 of them. Thank you again!

I am not.

I’ve been using this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N9LRCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1. Fun to choose which color or let it change colors on its own.

A night light that turns on automatically as it gets dark. No more stumbling around when I have to pee in the middle of the night.

I feel like it’s similar to social media, but serves a different purpose at least in my use of it. With social media sites like Facebook and Instagram I’m mostly interacting with people I know in real life. To me it seems closer to Youtube, because for both of those it connects me more to larger cultural or artistic things, rather than what’s going on with my friends.

Windows. It’s been too long since I used Linux so don’t remember all the things anymore

Chatting with a close friend

I love this!

Same. It’s so much more bizarre and intense than I realized.
