Why the fuck do cars still have analog speedometers? Surely digital ones would be more accurate and much easier to read without looking away from the road for too long.

  • My 2019 Jetta has a 100% digital instrument cluster. It's currently broken...just a black screen. It's neat how reliable analogue instruments are.

    • Do you think Technology makes us more lonely...?

    Jump

  • It sure does. There's a lot of research in the study of New Media that points to the superficial nature of how we connect online. We're sharing banal content to weak-ties constantly. It's not real human connection. On social media we are often just staring at everyone's highlight reel. It's unhealthy. You should read, "Alone Together" by Sherry Turkel.

    But it's not all grim. If you read about Participatory Culture you'll see there's an upside to New Media technology, which is the ability to be content producers, not just consumers.

    Social media often fails to connect all 7 billion of us in any real, meaningingful, human way. We're all just really busy being alone together.

    • What are your best unique dad jokes (like something you came up with yourself and didn't find online)?

  • Why did the booger break up with her boyfriend?

    He was just a fling.

    • What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?

  • Alan Watts contextualizes our daily lives as the outer, "fine spray" at the edge of the big bang --still exploding. Planets "people-ing" and your daily schedule, relationships, accuisition of goods, etc. is just the complex late stage of the big bang explosion. The explosion is chaos but as time goes by order slips in and creates "complexity". This is all still an explosion.

  • Ryobi.They're cheap and work fine --no problems yet. Their bits and blades are garbage tho.

    • Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?

    Jump

  • This is 100% real for young people. It's sad and stupid. At least they can easily figure out who will be a crappy friend.

    • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • I have a feeling the concept of separate instances here on Lemmy with throw off a lot of non-techy people. When they can't figure out how to sign up or why they need to pick a server you've lost the huge majority of the population. Maybe it's a good thing.

    • How old are we here?

  • 3

    • How are new communities created on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I did not check the actual website. So that explains it. Thank you.

    • How are new communities created on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Ok, thanks. My instance is reddthat.com (relatively small I believe) and I don't think I see a way to create a community. I will reach out to the instance admin and see if that is currently by design.

    • Why are gym rats called rats instead of Gorillas?

    Jump

  • "Rat" insinuates that they are always there and can't get rid of them. A gym rat is someone who is always at the gym.
