I don’t think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they’re annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

There’s a street light outside my house, I swear I’m going to open the hatch and install a gpo if I ever get an electric car.

Some places you’re not supposed to plug anything in unless it’s tested and tagged. Unlikely to be an issue in a public area, but if you’re somewhere that the power getting tripped would be a safety issue then best to ask first.

I’ve been bleaching and dying my hair different colours for the last few years (because I didn’t go to the office for two years and then no one cared).

Because lots of productivity tasks, including coding, involve looking at a reference material while creating the output. I’m frequently looking at a database structure on one window, an API document on another, and coding in an IDE.

You don’t necessarily need two screens, but it helps to have enough real estate to view two or more applications at once. Personally I use a 50" 4k TV and tile things in halves or quarters - which is the equivalent of having four 1080 monitors.

I know more than I ever need to about American drip coffee machines, and yet I don’t want one and wouldn’t know where to buy one here in Australia eveb if I did want one.

I could eat for a week in what I’d costs to buy one McD meal. It’s wouldn’t be a very varied diet for the week but it would probably be healthier than the one McD meal.

I make a curry of: tofu, green lentils, pearl barley, pearl cous cous, pumpkin, potato, onions, and whatever else is in the vege drawer of the fridge. Then I cook it in a laksa paste with coconut milk. it’s delicious and keeps in the fridge for at least a week with no meat.
