Kolanaki, in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I think it would be pretty easy to blend into the future than the past. Though I don’t think in either case you’d necessarily be outed as a time traveler. The past, you’re a witch. The future, you’re just a crazy person.

Khanzarate,

Nah the future, you’re like your grandparents who don’t know how to Google, but so much worse. Technology has progressed so far, we wouldn’t recognize it, but it’ll have been taught from. Society will be so fundamentally different that we don’t even have the context to discuss it here. The past, we can make suppositions, and while some will be wrong, we have some idea of what it’s like, but the future, we’d be like a Napoleonic war veteran running out of gas in his car because he can’t read the dials, didn’t know what gas is, and can’t use a gas pump because he has no bank account and cannot open one without a social security card.

Technology still needs to be designed to be used. Think of all the technology that still retains its basic form and only the material it’s made of significantly changing. The Boomers that call for annoying tech support questions are just refusing to learn a new skill.

toast,

Yeah, I don’t think spoons, and sandwiches, and socks are going to change that much. Most ‘tech’ changes a couple of times in a single lifetime (this was true even several hundred years ago), but the basics stay largely the same. Language is how they’ll catch you

kent_eh,

Who knows.

Maybe sandwiches have been completely forgotten and you can make a nice little business out of making perfectly ordinary sandwiches.

jedi, in What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would

Smart glasses.

otter,

With locally processed data

manualoverride,

*Contact Lenses

AnonStoleMyPants,

Ah yes. Can’t wait to get ads injected straight into my cornea. While driving my car. Wonderful.

uberkalden,

The premise was if they worked correctly.

manualoverride,

Well it could work really well… but capitalism will always be capitalism.

manualoverride,

Ha - they wouldn’t do that! It’s not like Waze puts a full screen ad up every time you stop at a traffic light… oh, wait. Damn you capitalism!!!

Cyborg eyes.

Enjoy your macular degeneration fleshbags.

manualoverride,

You only need one to be cyborg eye… the other one can succumb the way nature intended… to diabetes and television.

Yup. Don’t care how heavy or ugly it is either. I’d probably buy the apple headset thing if it was cheaper, ran Linux, and wasn’t made by Apple. Can’t wait for the technology to come down in price.

swordsmanluke,

I’m with you.

In fact, I made my own. It’s fugly and dorky as hell, but it’s everything I want and nothing I don’t.

I used a VuFine LCD eyepiece and hooked a raspi Zero W to it. Input via Bluetooth keyboard. Not a lot of screen real estate, so I went full CLI and wrote my own TUI with widget support so I can have an “active” app, plus a bunch of passive data widgets.

My forearms are is going to be so strong

TheMinions,

Similarly, I’ve always wanted the “wrist computer” from Chuck season 2.

satan_6661, in What makes video games addictive for you?

I game to avoid my crippling depression and mask it with by not climbing up the competitive ladders. The feeling of winning one round after you lost 2 in a row is one thing that keeps me going. I do it for the Dopamine, the achievement progress and the battle pass that sometimes isn’t worth it.

Corkyskog,

Depression + feelings of dopamine issues could be adhd, ever get checked?

satan_6661,

I’ve got autism, not sure if it’s adhd though

Who diagnosed and when were you diagnosed? If diagnosed as a teen or adult, your even more likely to have both.

From the NLM

According to the scientific literature, 50 to 70% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also present with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

You can even find higher percentages cited from less sciency sources.

satan_6661,

I got diagnosed at 19 so maybe, who knows.

@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you don’t see someone for it (symptoms, like depression) you really should. Take care of yourself, I know it’s not fun, trust me I am learning how to do it myself. But in the end it will payoff.

Whatever your dealing with won’t get any easier as you get older, take it from me.

TheBananaKing, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Steel radial truck-tyre soles. Sick of wearing through them in a few months.

Fits my weird-shaped feet (wide fitting, deep through the instep).

Uppers squashy enough not to destroy my feet after an all-day hike, but hard-wearing enough not to fall apart.

backhdlp, in Why has YouTube introduced support for multiple audio tracks for videos only now?
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Wdym “only now”? It’s been a thing for like a year now

Alto, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes

DarkMessiah, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Basically indestructible soles and insoles in terms of wear and tear, and an indestructible in general toe cap. Soft enough insoles to cushion, but firm enough to support. Light enough to use everywhere without feeling like I’m walking on King Kai’s planet. Self-tightening laces and mouth. GPS tracking in case I can’t find them or someone’s stolen them.

AnonStoleMyPants, in What makes video games addictive for you?

I play with friends. It is out hang out time. That is the addictive part. I can’t play single player games at all, always get bored after couple of hours. Solo online games are pretty much the same.

pan_troglodytes, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

they’d be like sandals, but with a lot of cushion - like walking on a porpoise. my palanquin bearers would wear them.

Jimbabwe, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Secret pocket in the tongue to hide your drugs like my circa late 90’s Chad Muska éS that I tore to shreds skateboarding like an IDIOT!!

I’m old now and don’t need to hide my drugs in my shoe anymore, but those shoes were cool as hell

Globulart,

A limited run of 2023 muskas came out last month FYI. Could probably grab a pair still…

Jimbabwe,

Woah forreal?!

Globulart, (edited )

Yeah when I looked earlier they had most sizes left in the UK, not sure where you’re based but a quick Google should get you there.

Jimbabwe,

I’m buying a pair. Thanks dude you’re my hero!

I mostly play idle games nowadays and for me it is numbers go up and bigger numbers get bigger.

SEND_NOODLES_PLS,

As someone who’s having a bit of difficulty finding great incremental games, would you mind giving aome recommendations?

sparky678348,

Clicker heros is old school at this point but still a legendary experience

safesyrup,

The best clicker on pc i ever played is NGU idle. On mobile i really liked exponenntial idle a lot

Koordinator_O,
@Koordinator_O@lemmy.world avatar

The ones I currently play are Melvor Idle, Idle Skilling, Stone Story, Idling to rule the gods and Legends of idleon. If you like somewhat more complex Idler i’d recomment Idling to rule the gods and Legends of idleon. Melvor idle is pretty simple. It is basicly Runesscape if it was a idle game. Idle skilling is simillar to clicker heroes kinda and Stone Story is just visualy interesting with its ascii art. I think all of them are at least worth a try. Idling to rule the gods is the one I played probably the most. My current run is 5 or 6 years now.

Koordinator_O,
@Koordinator_O@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I forgot about Kittens game. Pretty good too if even some times a little repetetive though + Home quest. Both are city building idlers if you are interested in such games as well.

I want some.

BennyInc, in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

100% dirt and water repellant. Just stay clean and dry all the time.

Wumbologist,

The monkey’s paw curls. Your sweat is forever sealed within the shoes.

SgtAStrawberry,

Well it forget to make the shoes dirt and water repellant, but otherwise I have those. Not to bad if it isn’t to warm outside, grate autumn/spring early winter shoes.

Gamers_Mate, (edited ) in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

The ability for them to easily be repaired and recycled unlike the throw away shoes companies make now.

9715698,

It’s possible to buy repairable shoes. They are just not as trendy or cheap as the mass produced fast fashion counterparts.
