At what point in time did a subset of people start calling the desktop computer a “modem” and why? It’s not even an age thing, I’ve heard people in their 20s to people in their like 60s say it.

“What was your biggest impact on the internet?”
I had to check because it’s been a while since I looked, but uh. That’s a lot of users that joined Poliwager Adoptables over the years. :P

My favorite thing about The Game Awards (like every other awards show) is how little I know about modern pop culture video games. I’ve barely heard of any of these games or people or actors(?).

I found my Book It! medal from reading at school and earning Pizza Hut as a kid (they must have used the same copyright for a long time, because I was not reading yet in 1995 haha).

This might be a hot take, but I think a hidden gem of the iPod lineup at this point is probably the 2nd-4th gen iPod touches. They have the good Music app before Apple Music made it bad, they have decent battery life, they have inline headphone control support, and they’re fairly cheap. Up to 64GB!

I should really make a post about all the different Smart Playlists I have and use regularly. I just find Smart Playlists to be so handy and cool. I wish they'd let us edit the rules on iOS so more people had access to them though.

Did you guys know that one of my favorite Pokémon mechanics is breeding eggs? Who would have guessed?

I just got a box of stuff from my old room that my little brother now is in that I apparently never brought to my house, and I forgot about this. This is an amazing find. #Neopets

Google searches for “iPod” are spiking. Sales of refurbished iPods have grown an average of 15.6% per year since 2022.
I surveyed 70+ people currently using an MP3 player to understand why:

It’s also rather interesting to see people at a complete loss at HOW to do any of this. Buying things? Playing them on a computer? On a phone or mobile music player?
It really feels like the early 2000s again in some ways.

1 year since I made a post that I’ve stood by for years and will continue to stand by. Read this thread for some encouragement if you’re debating whether you want to own your music and stop paying monthly to rent stuff you like.
It’s very fascinating to see so many people post about how streaming on Spotify maybe isn’t the way anymore, and trying out things like iPods again.
I never left that mentality of buying music and locally syncing it to my iPods. I’ve been doing it since 2005 when I got my first iPod. Welcome back!
