You know how Meta keeps trying to push its AI tools by randomly selecting photos and showing what it would look like with an AI filter? You have not lived until Facebook, without warning, shows you a completely unsolicited, “kawaii” version of your dead father.

I think a lot about the fact that my mom thought AI was called "Al" (as in "Weird Al") until this year and just never questioned it too deeply.

Had a dream that someone invented an "On This Day" app, but it instead listed every milestone your parents had achieved at your current age (down to the day), and this may be the worst nightmare I've ever had.

Getting 100% on this particular Sporcle quiz has been my white whale for roughly a decade now. I finally managed it, while simultaneously never identifying so hard with the "...Now what?" moment at the end of Finding Nemo.

I think something we don't appreciate enough as a society is that for the majority of human history hearing a particular piece of music was only possible if you could find someone in a public place/event playing it, owned an instrument/knew it yourself, or were rich and could employ a musician.
