I absolutely love the design but I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that this goes against the very purpose of wrist watches: you can't just turn your wrist and look at the time.

I know it's just a press of a button, but if only one of your hands is full (depending whether you're right or left handed) then it gets annoying rather quickly.

As for the Rolex obsession: I've lost several watches, but every single time I just re-bought my cheap Casio. I love it and it does the job quite reliably. Also, I personally dislike analog watches.

The surprise egg company gets monopoly and nobody can stop them

Kinky Fat.

The exhaust pipe is quite coarse.

I know this is more about the P/F West/East divide, and does a great job at it (and I find it great otherwise), but this is more like how to spell than how to say. Unless you speak every single language there, it will only leave you guessing about that C being 's', 'k', 'ch' or 'ts' (or some other unexpected sound).

Well, they just say s(h?)am first. I wonder if it means something like nut, or it's just some weird prefix that helps modify the meaning.

Bush/Condi/Kofi/Rice conversation vibes

Thanks for context, this is indeed horribly childish.

Ahhahaha, thanks for the context! This is hilariously bad from his part.

Alright, I just woke up so I might not see the obvious, but apart from the almost surreal butt licking, what is the sign (proof?) here that this Dittman's account is actually Elon's? Sorry, I have never used Twitter or X.

Don't worry, give it a few years and you will only hear the sound in films.

I wonder if it's (about) the same in every country but I stopped watching it a long time ago (over a decade). If it got even worse then there's no way I'm ever going back, but it was too much for me below that 30%.

I was fine with it back when it was just one ad that you could skip.

I was fine with it back when it was just two ads that you could skip.

I was fine with it back when it was just two ads, and you could skip one, and the other was 5 seconds long. 10 was a stretch, but I'm patient.

Without an adblocker, now it's playing an unskippable, 10+ seconds long ad at the start AND at the end. Some ads are as long as 20 seconds. If the video is long enough, it dares to abruptly play an ad right in the middle. You can't skip that one, either. We're back to television content-to-ad ratios - the exact thing I was happy to dump once there was enough content on YouTube. I was patient. That wasn't enough for them. They can suck a beehive.

I'm not an expert Chinologist, and it's a huge country, so it might vary, but AFAIK tipping isn't really a thing in China.

WOW. When the app popped up your comment, I saw the first sentence and I tried to guess which of my comments it was a response to. Then I went like "no way".

No matter how hard you try to come up with some surrealist bullshit, chances are someone had thought of the same and went like "this is a great idea".

First they buy and place the piano, THEN they build the house.

The current climate crisis.

I have no problem with Steam. I was mainly talking about games that only (don't) come out on Epic Store, but maybe I wasn't clear enough.

It's always available on the high seas.

Haha, I had no idea there were; I just remembered seeing this one, and had to look it up. But now that you said, it could have been either.
