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.
What are you talking about? Fireworks for potato salad??

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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]AI, the only people hyped about it are corporate heads, and people trying to get into the industry via grad school pipeline.
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.
-
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.
it destroys the body, and i only ever seen white people work in trades, so i suspect as to something to do with how they are only hiring those people too.
-
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.
Having eaten all 3, Five Guys is the best. But hey, that's why everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Yours just happens to be wrong.

Grad school. Unless your getting a professional degree with a license that protected by the state and the profession is well established and compensated, don't waste your money and time if you could see yourself doing anything else.
Hell... Undergrad might be sliding into this category as well.

Your environment would give a Victorian child a seizure.

Elves. They're the vanilla ice cream of fantasy races. Oh wow an elf archer daring today arent we, let me guess smart? attractive? tall? skilled?
Goblins on the other hand they deserve more hype. They're awesome I love those little guys.

Nirvana.
The band.I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.

Pussy until i got 14
I'm concerned that you have somehow acquired 14 pussies. I think you should turn yourself in.

I will also never understand the fascination with streaming. Just play the game, nerd.
Sometimes I just don’t have the time to play so I leave a streamer on in the background while I work and look at that screen every once in a while to catch s glimpse of a game that’s nostalgic and comfortable.

Having multiple monitors. My boss now has three. One is dedicated to displaying their calendar the whole day.
As someone who never understood multiple monitors, one day I just got a second one and now I feel working without a second monitor is limiting.
Having said that, I can’t see a use for a third monitor at all (not to say it’s completely useless. I’m sure some people find it useful).
