What is something you never understood the hype for?

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.
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

Original question by @[email protected]
Poekmon: It came out when I was in highschool doing band, theater, occasional sports, a summer job (fulltime), and a parttime job otherwise so I just never got into it. To me, it's a glorified paper-rock-scissors simulator with extra steps and zero nostalgia.
VTubers: it's just uncanny valley to me. I'm also super sensitive to audio-video sync issues and avatars seemed to always be slightly behind the couple of times I tried to watch it.
Shorts (and entire social media like TickTock, reels (I think it is called?), etc.): the forcing of vertical video is one reason since I'm almost always watching things in landscape (95% of the time on a TV, monitor, or tablet). I also just want to see more of the same topic, typically, and it's over and now I have to pay a mental context-switching fee.

The notion that working in the Trades is so great. Coming from a guy did a lot of construction work, trust me it can really suck… also most of the guys in that line of work are assholes.
most of the guys in that line of work are assholes
Can confirm

I think it's just some people have realised it pays well.

When it first started there wasn't much like it. It was like playing life sized Legos. And the resource requirements were so like you could just about okay it on a potato. And not even, like, a big russet or King Edward potato. I'm talking one of those little bite sized red ones
These days I just use it to diagnose my nephew with autism

I don't care who the government sends, I will not waste my time with radio talk shows rebranded as podcasts.
I am guilty of chucking Second Wind and Friends Per Second on the TV when there's nothing good on since they talk about good topics and bother with presentation for a viewing audience, though.
Podcasts exist for people that work alone all day and need something in their earholes to keep them from thinking about how much life sucks.
I personally prefer DnD actual play podcasts to keep me mollified

"Reality TV". Could anythjng be more contrived yet obviously "make it up as you go along"?

Potato salat. Just fucking weird when they have fireworks for that stuff. Don't get me wrong, it's fine, just not worthy of fireworks. A little dance maybe.

If you want to ignore the periphery, anyway, why do you need to see it in the first place?
Focus.
Say I'm working on Photoshop. I may need to use the palettes, tool presets, brush catalogue, alerts, etc, but then I may want to ignore them and focus purely on the image.
3D - I can put references on secondary screen and peek at them every now and then, but not have them distract me while modeling and texturing.
I can put tools like calculator, notepad and timer - all accessible, but all out of the way.

I ask this as someone currently eating some, when did they have fireworks for this stuff?

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.
Culver's is so much better!

I can watch sports I don't play. Like football(both American type and what we call soccer), MMA(although I haven't watched anything in years), basketball(but only NCAA), hockey, the occasional baseball game. I'll make an exception for boxing and tennis, those are watchable even when I was deep into them. But golf‽ How does anyone watch that? I get walking the greens, and hitting it every few minutes yourself, but watching someone else just seems so boring.

Because Apple is a marketing company
They're a dongle company.

This was not a response I expected, I thought the only people who didn't like multiple monitors were ones who never tried it lol
My peak was like 8 monitors, I'm at 6 now, but I can never go back to a single one long term. Whenever I do it temporarily for whatever reason it's agonizing
There no way you're actively using 6 monitors at the same time. How many of this are just storing windows you don't look at for an hour at a time.

I actually don't know, only read it from reddit/lemmy that his rich parents died or something and now he wants revenge against the criminals that killed them?
also why he has a no kill rule, he doesnt want anyone to end up like he did

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.
It's a lot better than other fast food burgers. But it's a pretty basic, straight forward burger. It's fresh ingredients, done simply. And it's why everyone loves it.
I know of a few places near me where they serve nearly identical burgers, and I love those too.

listened to multiple neil young albums 3 times over and i still dont get why hes worshipped. only albums i even liked were some of harvest and his buffalo springfield stuff

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.
I enjoy watching and chatting in smaller streams sometimes (like, a couple hundred in the chat at the MOST, usually < 100), it’s still parasocial, but tends to be WAY more chill. If it’s a stream with thousands of people, I don’t see the point in chatting, it’s passive entertainment at that point for me, personally!

In-N-Out. Tried it. It's OK.
I remember when In-n-Out first came to Texas, and the line to try it had the entire highway backed up for miles; People couldn’t even fit in the parking lot, and the line had literally backed up all the way up the highway exit and onto the highway.
Tried it like a month later, and wasn’t impressed; If I just want a fast food burger, Whataburger is better.
