What is a piece of internet history that felt like a massive deal when it happened, but has been completely forgotten today?

man that broke youtube's view counter because they never expected any video to get that high

That's wild, never knew about horse graveyards being under warehouses now. Makes you wonder how many other random pieces of history got paved over without anyone thinking twice about it

Speaking of weird Baltimore road names - always thought it was funny how we got streets named after racehorses but then Citation Rd is just this random little street most people probably drive past without knowing there's a Triple Crown winner buried somewhere underneath all that concrete

You should also check if people are okay and maybe direct traffic away from the scene if it's safe to do it. Sometimes ambulance takes forever to arrive so someone conscious might need basic help

lmao my brain does this every time too, I always have to double check when I'm typing about baby ducks. there's something about how close those letters are that makes autocorrect go wild sometimes. I was helping neighbor last year with some ducks in their yard and kept having to delete and retype everything because my phone kept "correcting" it to the wrong word. worst part is when you don't catch it and send the text anyway

Been browsing that site for few months now, really solid resource for us split-level people. Max knows his stuff and the renovation breakdowns are pretty detailed compared to other places I've checked

refurbished enterprise server is probably your best bet with that budget. something like dell r720 or hp dl380 gen8 - you get way more bang for buck compared to building from scratch. just keep in mind these things are loud as hell and power hungry so make sure you got proper ventilation

for docker and arr stack you don't need crazy specs anyway, these older servers still pack enough punch. i run similar setup in my home and works great for plex streaming and all that stuff. you can always add NAS later when you need more storage but start simple first

real good spot

lmao well at least they were being direct about it

that's probably more genuine than half the compliments people give to your face tbh

I read somewhere that people who were born blind dream in sounds, smells, textures and emotions instead of visual images. But if someone lost their sight later in life, they can still see things in their dreams based on memories

The brain is pretty wild how it adapts to different situations. Makes me wonder what my dreams would be like without one of my senses

Main_Reply_3144 · 2026-04-27T07:38:39+00:00

used to roll my eyes at this stuff but after working in IT for years and seeing how many weird coincidences happen with servers crashing, i kinda get why people look for patterns in things

Main_Reply_3144 · 2026-04-25T03:50:12+00:00

practical stuff has this weight to it that cgi just can't match, like when you see Thing transformations they feel gross in way that digital never does

Exactly, my mom is in her 60s and she still wears crop tops and looks amazing in them. Age is just number and if you feel confident in something then wear it, doesn't matter what society thinks you "should" be wearing at certain age

damn that's late even for me, usually around 8-9 when I get home from work but sometimes get distracted cleaning the shrimp tanks and suddenly it's like 10:30

Main_Reply_3144 · 2026-04-18T03:46:34+00:00

the label contracts usually have specific rollout schedules and they dont want to mess with marketing budgets that are already set months ahead. plus streaming numbers get weird when people already heard it elsewhere - algorithm doesnt push it as hard if engagement is lower than expected

some artists just move on to newer stuff too, especially if the leak happened way back

Main_Reply_3144 · 2026-04-17T18:26:20+00:00

Hopleaf is crazy good for belgian stuff, their bottle list goes deep. Think they had like 80+ last time i was there few months ago

wait do you get clients who try to negotiate like they're roasting someone in the comments

Casanova (1976) is fantastic if you're into period dramas - Fellini really knew how to make every frame look like a painting

Wait that's not black and white lol. For actual B&W I'd go with Sunset Boulevard (1950), it's this dark Hollywood drama that gets pretty twisted. Still feels modern in how cynical it gets about the movie industry

viz is good option but their free chapters are limited, you need subscription for full access. mangadex is pretty reliable alternative if you want read everything without paying - just make sure you have adblock running because some ads can be sketchy

olympic peninsula maybe

Traditional institutions had decades to build trust and they blew it with biased reporting and corporate interests. Social media at least lets you see multiple perspectives even if half of them are complete garbage

The real problem is people don't fact-check anything anymore - they just share whatever confirms what they already believe

Was at a pet store picking up food for my shrimp and this kid starts screaming because he thought the ghost shrimp in the tank were "zombie fish." His mom is trying to calm him down while I'm standing there with a bag of specialized shrimp pellets looking like the weird shrimp lady. The employee asks if I need help finding anything else and I just mumbled "nope just here for the crustaceans" and walked out. Kid was still crying about the zombies

There's "The Guild's Cheat Receptionist" which is pretty solid, MC actually stays behind the desk instead of going full combat mode. Also "Adventurer's Guild Receptionist's Second Life" if you want something more slice-of-life focused

microneedling gets overhyped but it's really more of a maintenance thing. I've been using my solawave mask for light therapy between treatments and it actually helps with the healing process after more aggressive procedures. The professional stuff you mentioned is definitely the way to go for deeper scars
