I replaced the clock on my phone, because I didn't agree with the privacy policy of the old one.
"What's privacy?"
Now im wondering if my clock is spying on me :(
Only time will tell.
The president of the USA just released a video where he is flying in a fighter jet dropping shit bombs on US citizens.
I swear to God, this is true.
You forgot the part where he's wearing a crown...
And that he was dumping shit on no-kings protests, while wearing that crown
"Poland is asking germany to build more tanks"
And "Poland is inviting German military to protect it's borders".
"Where are you?" is a pretty new one.
Only in the specific scenario of being on a phone call. Historically a perfectly normal sentence in other contexts.
Even in the communications context. We've had two-way radio comms for a really long time. Walkie-talkies have been around for almost 90 years.
You're right, while it was less common than today, it would have made sense in some contexts.
10 codes are from the 30s. 10-20 is where are you.
"Donald Trump is President of the USA."
"This is Donald Trump's second time in office, and this time around, his administration is using AI generated videos to mock protesters who are outraged by his policies responsible for kidnapping innocent people and implying he should be in office for eternity."
If you told this to someone 50 years ago they would have put you in a mad house.
The reality TV star?
Then who's vice-president, Jerry ~~Lewis~~ Springer?
(if this 50 years ago in 1975)
OH YEAH!? .... One of the future US presidents will be George H. W. Bush!!!
The Director of the CIA!?
YEAH!!! ... then his son George Bush will also become president some day!!
George Jr? ... the alcoholic!?
There's actually a pretty good example. In the tv show Two And A Half Men, Charlie Sheen attempts to do laundry. He asks "how will I know when it's done". Jon Cryer then responds "It'll call you on your cell phone", facetiously.
I do not only get a notification on my phone, I get one on my watch. So 50 or even 20 years ago saying the washing machine would call you when it's done or answering the doorbell with your watch were insane statements. Today that is very possible.
Well German Lemmy waking up is my cue to go to sleep

"What's the WiFi password?"
Reading that 50-years ago; "Who is Wiffy and why does he require a password?"
"I'm getting sick and tired of having to pay for multiple streaming services that I'm going to start pirating movies again through torrent."
I got two
While running a speed test on my fridge, I discovered it was involved in a Denial of Service attack that took down the Fox part of Disney's library, which explains why some of the Marvel movies weren't loading on my phone.

We truly are living in the future.
Slide into my DMs and we can Netflix and chill
I'm so tired of the President of the United States doing commercials for his private line of cheap Chinese products from the White House.
"how to kill a parent without killing the child?"
This is a programming qustion, right?

Meredith tooted Signal is down because of AWS
My phone is acting weird. I think I need to reboot it.
"Apple or Android?"
i like floorp, it's a fork of firefox.
That's a modern day tongue twister
You gotta wonder what the answer to this question is, when asked 50 years ago.
It really makes you think.
Hmm mmmm!
Anyway, "I'm going to nut" is my answer.
Can I plug my book in to charge?
Sorry I’m still charging my cigarette
Just google it.
"Send me a text" 50 years ago meant a telegram, snail mail, or posting a personal listing in the local newspaper classified ads. Computers were largely just at universities, and at that point in the microprocessor evolution, personal devices were about as useful as a base inference generative AI model. That is 8080 age.
I love Dubai chocolate while playing with my labubu
