Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don't have the connotations of "trailer trash".

The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.

The clubs can be family-oriented so it's not unusual to have kids there too.

Here's where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p's into arcade machines: there's an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.

Physicist: "assuming a spherical year ..."

Oh, wow, I did not realize that!

Eula.

Can't spell "functional" without "fun"!

Oh no! How's the Queen holding up?

Whichever version it is, I hope that one day I can delete a mail, change my mind, press ctrl-z and it will actually undo the last delete and not some random one from earlier in the day.

Some of the American English words used by young people sounds confusing, but are just abbreviations: "riz" for charisma.

Others, I don't know where they came from: "yeet" to mean throw.

Why isn’t step 1 disconnecting them from the electricity?

Skeptoid.

For many people, it wasn't.

Oh, and Harold Halibut. It's stop-motion and heavy on character interaction, with a story that keeps the action mild (on a level with a kid's TV show). A very calm protagonist. Aside from the visual style, all those things are reasons that it got mixed reviews, but could fit what you want.

I had trouble with very long loading times on the deck sometimes, but it's a slow-paced game, so I didn't even mind too much.

I've only played the demo, but Caravan SandWitch has a cozy vibe and seems very chill.

Bikeshedding.

People feel uncomfortable making big decisions, so spend longer on the trivial ones.

This was explained in Roger Rabbit:

Eddie Valiant: You mean you could've taken your hand out of that handcuff at any time? Roger Rabbit: No, NOT at any time, only when it was funny.

I just want to know who put anonymity bars over the sunglasses!

12 and 13 are lucky to not have names.

The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.

Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.

I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I've always liked maps so as a specific example that's an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city's buildings, and even see where my family members are.

Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don't need bags, now.

States probably require liability insurance, but don't care if you can't pay for damage to your own vehicles.
