Understandable. I have a strong aversion to lots of foods based solely on the texture, but thankfully, mac and cheese is not one of them!
Also very subjective: I would not say cheese sauce is good on its own. I only eat it with tortilla chips, pasta, or Taco Bell’s nacho fries.
Doesn’t cheese sauce + pasta = mac and cheese? Do you not like mac and cheese?
Never heard of this banana milk, but it sounds gross to me.
I thought the first link was going to be “and it starts right now” jet pack guy.
Not sure of Lemmy etiquette - Do I just paste the link? this guy
Edited to make the link look nicer
Interesting, I have had a nearly opposite experience in the past.
At one retail job I had, if you needed a shift off, you had to find someone else to agree to cover your shift. That was basically the whole process of getting out of a scheduled shift. Take a shift off, fine, but it was the responsibility of the worker who needed a shift covered to get that shift covered.
It can definitely come in handy speaking on the phone in all sorts of situations.
At a job once, I was on the phone with a customer and was spelling something or giving a string of letters (can’t remember what exactly), and I was having trouble thinking of good words to use. “D as in… duck” not realizing that could’ve sounded like B as in buck or T as in tuck. “F as in…” (don’t say fuck don’t say-) “fu… fun.” “V as in… Vin Diesel.”
Customer was laughing, so I think it went well.
100% agree. Same experience here with YouTube and YouTube shorts. I waste far too much time there.
My dad, a boomer, has been watching videos, reading news and listicles, and playing games on his phone more and more lately. 10 years ago, he was still using a flip phone, and just a few years ago (and tbh even still today) needs help using/navigating his phone and there internet.
But yeah, I’ve noticed him getting sucked into it - he probably uses his phone more than I use mine, since I’m on my computer more than my phone (unless we count my phone playing my music in the car and while at work, but that’s not exactly the phone use we’re talking about, so I wouldn’t include that rn).
Similarly, my grandparents, also boomers, are doing more on their phones all the time. For boomers specifically, it could have a little to do with retiring during this age of technology and finally having the time to explore something that seems more difficult for them to grasp.
TLDR: big word dump to echo the sentiment and show that I’m experiencing the same things as you.
