reCAPTCHA
The older reCAPTCHA was simple and modest, it could even humor you with its word suggestions. The newer reCAPTCHA on the other hand is literally evil incarnate. It's more complex and involves matching the appropriate pictures. Can be a complete utter asshole by slowing down the animations and on top of that it won't even let you pass despite doing everything right.
Though, there are versions of reCAPTCHA that work automatically in the background or only require a ✅

Google Play Store
Google Play Store has a much larger selection of apps and games than the iOS app store. It is easier to separate the good apps from the bad. It is also much easier to publish apps, hence the larger and more diverse selection.

Lucky Patcher
A very powerful tool for rooted Android devices. Can completely obliterate all ads and annoying popups within any app or game. So powerful that Google themselves will urge you to delete it.
It is also more widely known for obtaining in-app purchases for free.

Me: *installs Lucky Patcher*
All ads and popups: *instantly vaporizes into thin air*
Me: THANK GOD, now I don't have to endure another one of those stupid "YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS LEVEL!!!" ads

mobile gaming
Mobile gaming used to be really good in the early 2010s, but nowadays they either fall into one of the following categories:
1) Cheap and trashy games that are littered with ads and poorly optimised. These types of games spread like cancer in the app/play store and are mostly based on arcade concepts of more successful titles (e.g. candy crush, coin pushers, bubble shooters, etc). They are often made by some unknown developer with the sole intention of making profit. Many of them have fake 5-star reviews.
2) Pay to win games that are set-up to become nearly impossible to beat unless you pay.
3) Games that adhere to some sort of EXP leveling or reward system. Most of the old titles like fruit ninja have adopted this system, which ruins what used to make these games really fun.
4) Games that claim they will give you money for playing, but are actually a scam.
The days of pure uninterrupted mobile gaming are now gone. The only good reputable mobile games out there are from indie developers, which are mainly seen on the Google Play Store.

Blue Danube
That very iconic classical waltz tune you hear in many movies and cartoon shows (aka the theme from 2001: space odyssey). Very comedic when you juxtapose it with a chaotic situation.

Brontosaurus
A very confusing genus of dinosaurs. Why? Because people first thought the Brontosaurus was a separate genus and species. Then for decades people debunked the dinosaur as just another species of Apatosaurus, but now research yet again proves the existence of Brontosaurus.
So YES, the brontosaurus DOES exist (circa 2015).
So YES, the brontosaurus DOES exist (circa 2015).
People in the early 20th century: The Brontosaurus exists!
People in the late 20th century: There's no such thing as Brontosaurus, it's just a trendy term for the dinosaur Apatosaurus.
People after 2015: Now hold your horses, recent research shows the Brontosaurus actually DOES exist.

All Argue No Accord
Someone whose only purpose in conversation is to argue/criticize about the nuances, technicalities and factualities of a statement rather than simply acknowledging the other person's general point and moving on. The said someone will likely come off as aloof, annoying, condescending and overly skeptical. Such sort of people are often SJWs or pedants and found predominantly on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube comments or some other online community.
Of course don't get me wrong, being the devil's advocate is vital for critical thinking and impartiality, but there are plenty of occasions when somebody's point or remark is better left off standing on its own. Sometimes a chill atmosphere has already been established and it seems rather unfitting to ruin it with an overly sober rebuttal. Sometimes you just wanna shoot the breeze without seriously getting into something, y'know?

EXAMPLE 1: This is the last time I'm posting in that community. I just wanted to share my heartfelt thoughts but the people there were all argue no accord.
EXAMPLE 2:
Me, shooting the breeze: Honestly, I think dreams reflect all of our unconscious desires that we normally wouldn't realize when we're awake, I'd recommend reading a bit on psychoanalysis, it's some interesting shit
Overly sober Individual: The subconscious isn't scientifically proven, FYI. We can only make deductions through empirical evidence such as neurological patterns within the brain.
Me: Ok dude.
