What is something you never understood the hype for?

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

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.

Culver's is so much better!
I had one for the first time the other weekend. It was...ok? It tasted like a handful of other fast food burgers I've had.
Lots and lots of people working there, though.

hyping content creator as the goal for younger people to become? these people arnt really good models to follow and you hear them get into some kind of drama and find out they are pos: sniperwolf, mr beast, siderman. also liek to mention most current creators are often rich/come from wealth themselves, so it doesnt help people who arnt as rich as they are.
and then people still defending PEWPEWDIE? why are people still trying to give his previous support of bigotry a pass, just because he had a child now.

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]when i was in MS, a girl classmate said it was just picture on paper. the current hype/pandemic is due to scalping pokeinvestors trying to gouge prices over it. the pandemic just made everyone stayed home and play pokemon all day. funny thing is nobody said anything about MTG when i was playing HS, and yugioh was hot sht when i was HS, and it was too risky to play it, because people were stealing it from other people.
it got some resurgence due to people capable of plahying it online.
people do criticize the prize mechanic is archaic and should be done away with, i much prefer a life point type mechanic instead. -
The MCU and most specifically, RDU’s IronMan.
Who would you cast as your perfect Iron Man?

Mr. Beast.
turns out hes a POS like witht he people associated with.

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 grew up and have put my fair share of time in the trades. They do pay well but if you don't get out of the field, you trade your functioning body for money.
The one thing I can't wrap my head around is why everyone wants to work so much overtime. Even unions are rocking 50-60 hour work weeks and then claiming they treat you well. It's looked down upon if you only want to work 40.
and its also mostly to a specific demographic too, and not the one people want to associate with,hint hint.
