What is something you never understood the hype for?
-
Apple, especially when it was considered a “luxury brand.”
It still is considered that, for reasons.
-
Twitter or any “microblog”.
I don’t understand why “following” a person/organisation would be interesting. I would rather follow a topic/community.
wrote last edited by [email protected]You can do that. But certain voices carry extra weight within communities.
I followed today's Formula 1 race on both Threads and Mastodon. Both platforms allow you to follow topics and that's what I did. But then I follow the people I find interesting as well
-
Having multiple monitors. My boss now has three. One is dedicated to displaying their calendar the whole day.
When I was a CAD draftie, multiple monitors were a godsend.
-
Two at least. I am an accountant and constantly comparing at least two things. I have never been able to work on a laptop, need the multiple screens.
That’s a use case I can agree with. Iff the two things you’re comparing actually take up the width of 1 monitor, each.
-
I find multiple monitors better. The physical separation helps in creating mental separation, allowing me to focus on the currently important areas and ignore the periphery.
Started working on double monitor setup still in the 90s (two big ass crts) and never went back. I tried some ultrawides, but always default to 2x instead.
If you want to ignore the periphery, anyway, why do you need to see it in the first place?

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.

Because Apple is a marketing company

Agree. When I was on Twitter I followed local bars, restaurants, and music venues for info on events and happy hours. No humans.

The Harlem Shake, it didn’t help that I could never figure out what it was..
Pretty good with the fries, animal style.
-
Most superheroes.
EDIT: SJW admins confirms that I've been down voted by Superman and Spiderman
Personally superhero movies aremy crowning achievement as far as willing suspension of disbelief goes.
It's fine that superheroes have powers and/or levels of combat expertise that would be impossible to achieve at their age WITHOUT superpowers. That's just how it is.
That they solve all major problems by punching people and acting as less murderous COPS, though? THAT'S what I have to force myself to overlook in order to enjoy the escapist silliness I'm watching
-
I had an iPhone once, but realized I couldn't get a torrent client and decided I'll never use Apple again.
Also if you go to like China, you wouldn't be able to download a VPN app, whereas with Android, at least you can tell a friend who lives in the west to email you a .apk file.

Vtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.
Also I don't get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you're competing with everyone else for their attention.

Sports, cars, motorcycles and a lot of music genres. All things that men are supposed to like, even though I consider myself quite masculine.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yea it's decent, but what really takes the cake is that it's far better than what you can get at McDonald's and (at least in my area) it's cheaper than McDs
Their double double combo is like 10$ compared to McDs pitiful BigMac combo at like 13
It's not worth flying across the country for like some do, but if I have a choice between McDs or In-N-Out....

It's expensive and recognized. That's about it. The UI is neat, I guess.

Oh, for sure I'd rather it over McD's. I just don't think it's amazing like a lot of other people seem to think it is.
-

This is what I don't get, the UI looks so dated and messy to me. Everything looks like it came out of the 90s and never evolved.

Then you go to the east coast and they claim Five Guys is the better In-n-out and holy shit it is definitely not. Even more overpriced and not even as good as a burger king. Sheesh.

Those are interests. I wouldn't call it hype.

Very overpriced. Free peanuts tho
It's not better, it's just what's available. Like Sbarro when you're not in NYC and the local pizza sucks
