"So I was on the bus yesterday and this random lady kept interrogating me, telling me that I was 'sus'. She said that I was the imposter and how I've been faking all my tasks. I called the bus driver and fucking got off the bus immediately. Crazy SOB."

Get the among us in real life mug.The beloved 3.5mm audio port that Apple unjustifiably removed from the iPhone in 2016 which caused a whole domino effect to happen. Eight years later, and most flagships or even mid-range phones lack this basic port. Apple and other manufacturers fabricate lies such as "waterproofing" to fool the masses into believing it was justified.
Economic and financial gains such as cost-cutting and driving sales for bluetooth earbuds are the main motives for the removal.

Literally nobody:
Apple: "Let's all remove this essential port that billions of people use because we love cost-cutting!"
Interesting fact: LG was the only smartphone brand to have kept the headphone jack on all their phones until their demise in 2021

Get the Headphone Jack mug.First of all, please ignore the definition written by 'Frog.Man', obviously the dude was butthurt towards a Keralan when they wrote that brain-dead comment.
Anyhow.... Kerala is known for its stunning backwaters, beaches, hill stations, and rich cultural heritage. It's famous for its high literacy rate, progressive social policies, Ayurveda, and diverse cuisine. Often referred to as "God's Own Country" due to its natural beauty and serene environment.
This definition, as well as the ones written in 2004, still hold true as of today (November 2024). Nothing has changed much.

"Hey I just got back from Kerala. The beaches were amazing, and the food was so fresh! I think I could retire there one day haha."
"Dude, you should go to Kerala if you're into nature and want to chill for a bit. The vibe is so peaceful."

Get the Kerala mug.GitHub is a massive code repository platform that everyone from programmers to software developers to IT professionals use and depend on. Unfortunately though, GitHub is also one of the most confusing sites to navigate through, especially for the average person who just wants to download a software.
I heavily stand by the belief that software developers should NOT use GitHub as the primary download hub for their end-users. That is very bad practice in my opinion. Instead, it is a better practice to host their finished software on dedicated download hubs such as sourceforge. GitHub is primarily a code repository, not a software repository, and average users nagivating a GitHub repo can get easily confused like I once did.

Average User: Where do I download YouTube vanced?
Dev: It's on our GitHub page, linked here.
Average User: Um where is the download link on that site?? I only see a README.md and other weird files.

Get the GitHub mug.The reason why many phones released during 2018-2020 had a gigantic ugly ass pill-shaped notch on the top of the screen. You can blame Apple for this "innovative" trend. Thankfully Samsung refused to copy it.
iPhone X, along with the iPhone 7, are the biggest sinners in the smartphone world for introducing the notch and removing the headphone jack, respectively.

Get the iPhone X mug.The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.

Well, that is essentially what chatGPT is: an ๐ผ๐พ๐๐๐ผ๐ AI assistant in all its glory! It's here, and it's real!
Yeah yeah I know..... it can do your homework, it can write your resume, it can generate code, it can do this, it can do that, it can take away your job, yada yada.
Most people see chatGPT as merely a tool, which it is. But just take a step back and realize this: for probably as long as 50 years since HAL 9000 made its way into pop culture, sci-fi geeks from all around the world have become deeply obsessed with AI assistants. To them, chatGPT and other LLMs must be a sci-fi dream come true! I know it is to me.
In fact, if you know just a bit of coding and have lots of time to kill, it is 100% possible right now to recreate an AI assistant like J.A.R.V.I.S.
I know this may sound naive, but we are quite literally living in an age where science fiction isn't really fiction anymore, and that is just awesome. You love to see it.

Chatgpt is the reason why/how I passed my college program, successfully landed a job, and started a software developer gig. And man, can you believe they just let us use it for free? Chatgpt is love chatgpt is life.
