Harvey's

One of the best burger places in Canada. Most memorable for its juicy mouthwatering flame-grilled taste and sizable portions. It's better than McD's, Wendy's, Burger King and all the other famous burger chains out there. Only smaller local burger chains or pubs will rival against the taste of a Harvey's burger. What really sets Harvey's apart is that you're in charge of customizing the toppings, kinda like subway. Their poutines are also bomb.
Harvey's makes your hamburger..... a beautiful thing.

OpenAI

An oxymoron.

One simply does not use the words "open" and "AI" together to describe OpenAI. With Sam Altman's current hostile stance and their uncompetitive pricings (and the fact that GPT-4 isn't open-source), they really should be naming themselves closedAI.
OpenAI? Fugget about it! I'd rather run a localized version of Deepseek on my server than paying a whopping $75/1M tokens for GPT4.5.

X

Pronounced as “ex.” The debatably new “terrible” or “terrifying” name for the formerly known Twitter app, which reminds billions of kids and their parents worldwide of their dreaded years-long school algebra.
Are the days of X numbered if two social media competitors renamed their platforms to Y and Z?

late 2010s

Five years of absolute degeneracy. It ranges from late 2015 to late 2019, with 2017 being peak degeneracy. The focus of this half has primarily shifted to young millennials (born 1994-2000) and the shitty petty interests that surround them. Entertainment and mainstream media has dumbed down significantly at this point to incorporate the values and aphorisms of millennials, which includes stupid words like "woke", "vibing", "mood", "shook", "gucci" and an increasing use of "but" and "y'all" in sentences. Apparently, there is also some odd obsession with neon colors in this half decade.

r/nicegirls

The subreddit that reflects the same experiences that guys from r/niceguys have, but with regards to the opposite sex.
If a guy from r/niceguys and a girl from r/nicegirls got together, they'd honestly make a pretty great couple.... or a pretty bad one

base64

A form of text encryption that is incredibly versatile across various situations. Some of these situations may include, but is not limited to:
-A sneaky way to relay messages to someone without revealing the information at hand
-A way to send URLs in certain messaging apps (discord, messenger) without revealing the website logo and info
-A way to bypass website filters that blocks texts such as hyperlinks
-A way to hide certain information from web crawlers to prevent people from finding it via Google
-Saving all your passwords in base64 (within a password manager) for even more protection
-Annoying your friend by writing all your texts in base64 and then letting them translate it
-Etc.

Google Glass

Something that was once heavily talked (and criticized) about around 2013-2015 but quickly dwindled from the public's eye after that.

Almost nobody remembers Google Glass anymore, that is unless you randomly happen to stumble upon it by chance and all the memories start flushing back. And if you do remember, Google Glass was honestly quite ahead of its time. It really feels more like a futuristic tech you'd expect to see today than back in 2013.

Hell, now that I think about it, Google Glass is a MUCH more better and useful concept than Zuckerberg's lousy Metaverse.

I read some of the definitions of 'glasshole'; yes, privacy would be a central problem to the Glass, however to be quite frank, to think you can identify some random girl and instantly pull up their FB is pure science-fiction. Perhaps a bit more feasible now, but def not possible back in 2013. Today, the concern is still privacy, but it's on the other end of the horseshoe; not for the privacy of others but of yourself. Zuckerberg's Metaverse (and the entirety of Facebook) is a FAR more heinous offense to privacy than Google Glass.

But overall, the pros of the Google Glass heavily overshadows the con(cern)s. I would LOVE to have an HUD with me at all times, where I can see the time and weather. I honestly hope Google Glass can make a comeback in the 2020s. Just note that if Google made a new one, it would prove far more capable of these privacy-breaking features as todays silicon chips are over 500% faster.
Kevin: Hey remember back when Google had that cool futuristic glasses, forgot what it's called
Eric: The Google Glass??
Kevin: Yeeee
Eric: Holy shit that was such a long time ago, I literally forgot about its existence until now.
