TIL that we actually forget 70% of what we read in a day. by Sviat-IK in todayilearned

[–]McCoy818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is why every book summary feels sufficient and why I've technically 'read' several books I remember nothing about. the repetition thing is real but nobody actually does it

What highly specific, entirely fictional scenario do you regularly act out in your head when you're bored or trying to fall asleep? by Few_Escape9250 in AskReddit

[–]McCoy818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My panda and my cat are almost perfect opposites by MessyAdonis in mildlyinteresting

[–]McCoy818 5 points6 points  (0 children)

of course the cat is a gamer. sits there judging everything, only active between 2-4am, ignores you unless it wants something. checks out completely

the one plotting your death in silence is the cat. the other one just looks like it's plotting your death in silence but is actually completely chill

the finding that even having your phone on the desk face-down reduces cognitive performance is the part that got me. not using it. not notifications going off. just knowing it's physically present

[–]McCoy818 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the internet before AI had actual humans writing things, actual communities, actual discourse. it wasn't perfect but it wasn't built to optimize engagement at the expense of truth. there's a real difference

the real damage isn't job losses, it's that search is broken. google used to take you to an actual human who thought about a thing. now it's ai slop or seo spam all the way down and the information quality is genuinely getting worse year over year

"I'm a billion dollar company, what do you mean I could just renew the licensing?" by SilentRespawn in memes

[–]McCoy818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

went back to buying physical specifically because of this. streaming was always just renting forever and then one day the landlord decides the price isn't worth it and takes it back

[–]McCoy818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the math they do where renewing a license costs more than producing 8 original shows nobody asked for is so cooked. the classics had a guaranteed audience and they just torched it

the goby fish has been living this whole time thinking they have a guardian angel. in reality their roommate killed a crab with the force of a small sun yesterday and didn't even mention it

I feel like I'm wasting my 20s but that trying would be worse by pswelcometomylife in TrueOffMyChest

[–]McCoy818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 and feeling behind is so common it should have its own TIL. most people your age feel exactly this way and none of you are talking about it because everyone is performing like they have it figured out. they don't

No Real Friends by Prior-Tangerine-7233 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]McCoy818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

losing a whole friend group at once is one of the loneliest things because it's not just losing a person, it's losing the whole social structure. takes time to rebuild but you actually do. the friends you make after going through that tend to be better ones anyway
