I drank too much kombucha in a short time period and it gave me a terrible bellyache.

I don't know what's the most first world problem I've experienced, but the most recent was when I tried to use my roasting pan on my relatively new stove today and found that the roasting pan is not induction compatible.

So I put it in the Goodwill pile and ordered a fancy brand pan to replace it.

[–] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could always try one of those adapter plates

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

I don't really have a lot of space for more stuff and I did already order another one. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

I cannot buy Bionicles.

I feel like this is an any world problem T_T

I have a weird relationship with numbers. I like some more than others.

I don't like # 9.

My current phone is a Pixel Pro 9. I'm seriously considering trying to sell it and get the Pixel Pro 10. 🙄

The most first world problem I ever experienced was years ago, some games show tips and info during load screens, well my new computer was loading the games faster than I was able to read the tips, the moment I voiced my complaint about it I knew it was the most first world problem I would ever experience.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Variants on that problem have been around for quite some time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

On some older IBM PC–compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: the default "turbo" speed or a reduced speed closer to the Intel 8086 CPU. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286,[1] 80386 and 80486 processors,[2] from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine's power and efficiency. When pressed, the "turbo" button is intended to let a computer run at the highest speed for which it had been designed.[3]

With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU's frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable, due to the reduced time allowed to react to the faster game events. To restore compatibility, the "turbo" button was added.[4] Disengaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.

Its all true, I was there. Its all coming back to me.
The beige. Computers were all beige.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige_box

IBM's early desktop computers (e.g. IBM Personal Computer, IBM PC/AT) were beige, and box-shaped, and most manufacturers of clones followed suit.[citation needed] As IBM and its imitators came to dominate the industry, these features became standards of desktop computer design.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 21 hours ago

Every time I wonder why they decided to call a button 'Turbo' if fast was the default mode

I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm sorry you have to live this way

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 17 points 1 day ago

Can you still call that living

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 18 points 1 day ago

I'm trying to hang in there.

Sometimes my 3D printer nozzle gets clogged and if I don't have a new one I have to order one and use my other two 3D printers until the new nozzle comes

My robot lawnmower keeps getting stuck on my garden beds and I have to walk out at least once a day to restart it.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago

They're called bed because the put the robot to sleep.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Does the map not have a way to block the beds area? I block the bathrooms from my vacuum.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not with my dumb free bouncing worx robot. Next robot will solve that problem though. No wires and use GPS (well... RTX, VSLAM, and cameras/sensors). What a time to be alive.

Going out looks fun but then you try it and it isn’t fun.

There is no quickfix for the Mercedes auto engine shut off when you stop in traffic so I have to manually turn it off everytime I start the car or else the .5 second delay when I release the brake to press the accelerater gives me anxiety

Not mine, but two collages of mine.

Over lunch we were discussing what we cook for dinner most nights etc.

The two of them live together and said that they don't cook they have a food delivery service that delivers nutritious hot home cooked meals to their door every night at 7pm

They complained that on Wednesdays the food isn't as good as other days.

My job is like 8 miles away from my house, so during the winter, I don't get to have the car cranked long enough for it to fully warm up by the time I have made it to work, so if I forget to use my remote start then I have to drive a cold car to work.

My backlog of Steam games that I haven't played through is kind of overwhelming.

Some highly-replayable games, like roguelikes, make it worse, because they soak up time that isn't going towards finishing the finishable ones.

The problem I'm dealing with right now is kind of a first world one in that I'm unable to ride my electric bicycle because the speed sensor is malfunctioning and the sensor from my other bike is incompatible as it's a 4-pin one and the other bike uses a 3-pin one. I do have a 3rd bike too but it's not fun to ride due to lack of electric assist.

The ac in my chem class was a bit too cold and I forgot my sweater.

Handheld game consoles are too big and heavy.
Games are too long.
