Ask Lemmy

Except for those that are closest to us, we never would have remembered any of those things anyway; all of it would have been written down in an address book. Now the address book is digital, and is part of an LLM for some reason (selling your data).

If smart glasses with heads-up displays become normalized, you will eventually have married couples that don't remember each other's names.

Finding music and appreciating it more because you had to physically search for it at a store and you only had so much money, so you listened to that album over and over. Talking with friends to hear the music they thought was cool and would recommend something to you according to your taste.

I've honestly been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm not proud of myself.

How to disagree with people politically but remain friends

Bus numbers and it's connections. Growing up in a metropolitan Asian city, I enjoyed taking buses everywhere. To school, to grandparents place, to friend's houses, to friend's grandparents houses etc, I could give routes that went through posh neighbourhoods, or food recommendations along the routes.

It was my super power before Google maps came along 🥲
