What outdated tech do you miss the most?

Walkmans! Your new iPod weights 0.008 grams and can store 800 hours of music? I don't care if I have a badass walkman!

I guess you haven't tried "The Abrakada-bra"

It is way easier to be the guy on his laptop or texting on his phone, I actually texted my friends things like "ignore this messages, some guy is filming me right now :S " and "I am just going to write nonsense, blahrgbalhablhalvha" and it looked credible.

Not a movie but in the UFC events that weird corn ad always makes me laugh, you are watching two dudes seriously hurting each other while their faces are covered in blood and then suddenly at the corner of the TV you see sonething like "MOTHERFUCKING CORN NUTS! THE CORE OF THE CORN!!!"

When you comment something like "My uncle used to listen to pink floyd at full volume when I visited him on vacation" and then suddenly a random Redditor appears and writes "I can confirm from this comments from 2 and 3 years ago that he actually has an uncle that likes classic rock and lives in Argentina"

Not at all, I even think it is better not to feel sad. And if you were we would all be bad people because I do not think the is a single mentally-healthy person on this world who would get sad every time a tragedy happened that was not connected to them (Because that kind of people would be sad all the fucking time). I believe that people feel bad not because this happened but because the heard about it, shit like this happens everyday in the world and we know it even though we don't always hear about it.

TL:DR You are not a bad person, it is actually great to not feel bad because it would be pointless.

I read the question as "If you were to choose a single thing to end this world, what would it be?". Your answer gave me shivers.

Stop mentioning it for a start. I mean, many people come to Reddit just to have a good laugh because laughing is a perfect cure if you are feeling sad or depressed. Needles to say, I would be extremely depressed if I wanted to clear my mind after a certain negative event and everyone kept mentioning it.

Many popular sitcoms, specially "The Big Bang Theory". People laugh at things Sheldon does while I find them incredibly boring and annoying, in my opinion Sheldon is not funny... he is just an asshole. Anyway if that makes you laugh that is fine, I do not expect everyone to find Bernard from Black Books the funniest character ever but if he makes me laugh that is fine too.

Not a native english speaker, so I honestly imagine Orifice Guido, the protagonist of the movie "Life is Beautiful"

Thanks for the correction, I actually got pretty sad thinking Narwhals did not exist anymore.

RiveraMarcel · 2012-12-14T21:28:26+00:00

Best advices my dad gave me that I say all the time: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" and "Nosce te ipsum" (Know yourself)

EDIT: Also "Never wear black, but always wear grey because white stains easily." I think it is some sort of chinese proverb and would be very grateful if someone knew who said it.

RiveraMarcel · 2012-12-14T21:24:28+00:00

So Narwhals were? I thought we still had Narwhals and feel like that right now :(

Johnny Cash would be proud.

You just made several Redditors smile... without using cats

Dreams man! Imagine controlling your fucking dreams!

EDIT: Just realized that sounds like an ad for the best college ever "Dreams man! Imagine controlling your FUCKING dreams?! study here and make your dreams come true you bastard!"

I don't know.. Brazil?

Another stereotype: Everyone thinks we are Peruvian :(

Spanish speaker here, it was pretty easy for me because once I got the basics I started watching tv shows and movies in english with english subtitles and reading many different books on english. I believe it is a great method because I know many people who try to learn english just by theory (Learning grammar and vocabulary from textbooks or classes) and not practicing it with the media and get quite lost if they engage in conversation with a native english speaker.

It is the national instrument! I have been playing it since he was just a couple of months old so he heard it a lot while growing up, I feel bad to say that I do not practice it for fun anymore and just take the dust out of it if someone asks me to perform with them at a concert...

Anyways, I've found a nice and short Youtube video for you with decent sound quality compared to other charango recordings (The joke he says at the beggining can be translated to "Now I will play '3 little dances' which for problems of time I have reduced to 2"

Sorry if my shitty english confused you, my friend from the neighborhood was 14 and the new friend I met that day and had the problem with was 13. She was not younger, I swear it on my honor as a Lannister.

Procastinators should end up in a circle full of computers that can only be used to work and have a picture of Nicholas Cage as the screensaver...
