How old is this tweet though

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least three years. I saw it during the covid quarantine

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, it's from 2022 april: https://twitter.com/Ciara_BK/status/1515504916600606720

But some places still had quarantine at that time.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 months ago

Sorry, you're right. 2020 did a number on my perception of time. God damn

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 11 months ago

What about ISO-8601?

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it's just Americans that put the year at the end.

My Nephew: "What's a fax machine?"

Me: "A landline network of low quality printers people used to use to do invoices and file for divorce."

My Nephew: "Landline?"

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 46 points 11 months ago (3 children)

So my oldest kid was grounded from her iPhone one time. Feeling generous one evening, I told her she could use the desk phone in my office to call friends on. It's an old school red landline with no frills. Just buttons to dial the number and an actual bell that rings. The kind that's only an upgrade from a rotary disl. It's mostly for emergencies and never gets used.

Anyway, she sits down at the desk, stares at the phone, and is like, "Ok. What do I do?" It took me a second to realize she was asking how to make a phone call. I told her to pick up the handset and dial the phone number. The whole time she's just shooting me looks like she doesn't believe this is actually going to work.

[–] v81@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Sounds like she's rarely out never noticed you use it either... Which makes it interesting both because of the uncommon UI and workflow, and she has not had regular observations to learn from.

For those of us that have operated both it's a non issue.

But think of how you'd go about it with zero knowledge. I bet most would try dialling the number without lifting the receiver.

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is she used to contacts and doesn't know how to dial a phone number even on a smartphone? Or just unsure because it works a little different.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

All I get is ads and scam calls, might as well disable the phone app at this point.

And the name of the kid: Albert Einstein

“Why don’t you send it over on a dinosaur?”

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Which one tho? AOL or Hotmail?

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I still have an aol and hotmail address. I use them for trash website and services that i dont want to give my main email address to. I wouldnt dare open my aol inbox. I might get covid or something.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] frunch@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Still remember my login id! Lol

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Still use hotmail to this day, mainly to register in games and such, gmail for more important stuff and proton for banks.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, my hotmail account is my junk mail collector. Whenever something requires an email addy, that's what I write down.

Wild world that we live in. I have a junk phone number, too

[–] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I have two Gmail accounts. One for important stuff, that should send me notifications, and one for all the other things - though I do unsubscribe from junk.

People I know who still use Hotmail get an insane amount of phishing emails. It's actually scary. Gmail does its job.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

OK, but did they smash though?

[–] variants@possumpat.io 20 points 11 months ago

That subscribe button probably
