I don't mean to sound like such a boomer but... it's a few seconds of a scare. When I was a kid, my mother woke me up on New Years and made me run down the icy road in my underwear at midnight while her friends fired roman candles at me. If we had tiktoks back then I would have been a viral star.

ASMR to me seems like weird fetish poo poo.

Believe it or not it really is a reaction that some people get. I know because I used to get it all the time when I was a little kid. Episodes of Painting with Bob Ross would trigger it for me and I would get this weird sensation of pulsating "relaxation" that would start on the crown of my scalp and pass over my entire head. I would just be completely zoned out and zombified. My parents thought it was weird at first but then figured out they could use it to make me calm the gently caress down when I was being annoying.

At some point I stopped having that reaction and now Bob Ross just sounds like a whispering hippie to me same as anyone else. The closest sensation I've felt to ASMR in my adult life was when I was in a wreck and the doctor gave me the really good pain pills.

Edit: Though I guess it must have turned into a weird fetish thing at some point. I can't imagine people with actual ASMR are sustaining all of these video creators.

... isn't the "a-ok" sign a white power thing now?

Not really. That was some sort of own-the-libs plot. "lol let's trick libs into thinking the OK gesture is a racism thing by being racists and doing the OK gesture all the time." Kinda like tricking someone into thinking their house is on fire by setting their house on fire.

It fizzled out at some point.

Strictly speaking it was a white supremacist thing but they were just doing it to stir poo poo and that probably shouldn't be the default read on that gesture.

What! Someone here called me out on it. So it's a-okay to use the a-okay sign again?

e: what if it's upside-down so it looks like an M -- an inverted W

Apparently there's a whole section of a Wikipedia article about this very thing: OK gesture - White power symbol

I guess it got more traction than I realized but all the examples are from the Trump years.

Seems to me that if I owned something worth several thousand dollars that I continue to pay for on a weekly and annual basis, an object that I also require to get me to work every day, that I'd remember exactly where I left it at all times.

Are you sure you clicked right? I know for a while they've been playing those games where the update notifications are designed to get you to agree to the upgrade when you think you're just lazily clicking through another 10 update. I really hope they're not starting to actually force them.

I would yank the drat hard drive out of my computer if that happened. I just built a new gaming PC that's apparently compatible with Win11 in some way my old one wasn't because Win10 has been reeeally pushy about upgrading. Hasn't actually forced anything yet though.

Apparently cows are really curious. When I was a kid one of my friends lived on a dairy farm. One day they were milking the cows and his dad demonstrated this by hanging his coat on a wall the cows had to walk past to leave the milking parlor. Every single cow stopped to check out that coat.

Are you not American? Hard R is a pretty well known term on this side of the Atlantic.

I can see how someone would mix it up. It's an allusion to a slur but when you think "R slur" there is more than one. And because we're trying not to say exactly what it means there's room for confusion.

If someone is trying to not say or do hurtful things and they get mixed up that doesn't really feel like a problem.
