technology related sensory memories from my childhood
sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.
The most baffling Asexual Moment™ I’ve experienced is learning that overly-sexual commercials (like when they advertise a soda next to a girl in a bikini) actually DO turn people on and aren’t just a pointless, weird trope
The sheer irony of losing your adhd meds in your mess and being too overwhelmed by executive dysfunction to clean your mess in order to find the adhd meds that you were going to take to help you clean your mess is…phew
almost all popular fiction about robots: given the chance to abuse something without repercussions, humanity would do so without hesitating, because we’re all just lazy, heartless bastards by nature
me, sprinkling cereal grains across the floor so my roomba doesn’t go hungry: who’s a good boy? 😀 who’s a good boy??? 😀 😀 is it YOU???? 😀 😀 😀 it’s YOU!!!!!!!
