Please dear god can WhatsApp add a feature to let you create group chats with an expiry date. I'm drowning in chats with names like "drinks?" which become irrelevant the second said drinks happen

Every time I see a shot like this I try and tell myself to take more photos of boring everyday life. You never know what's going to look unrecognizable in 20 years time

Saw this photo on Reddit which was taken in 1992 and was instantly transported back then! The Tube had such a grotty aesthetic (and smell!) back then. Almost unrecognisable compared to today. This is Bank on the Central Line.

How many strangers have I been blasting J-pop at on the overground? How many friends have had to listen to endlessly repetitive Nintendo Switch sound effects on long train journeys? It's truly too bleak to consider

This past week I have come to the horrifying realization that my wireless headphones -- which I've been using for four years in offices, public transport, and planes -- leak sound like nobody's business

Hi , I’d genuinely love to know how your driver was able to claim that I’m not in, but was able to deliver my item to a collection point just two minutes later?
The collection point is a 6 minute drive from my place, for reference.

I don't think Twitter is ready for every man born between 1980 and 1989 to tweet about Goldeneye 64 tomorrow.

my argument is not that Google's search results have gotten measurably worse over time. my argument is that Google is filling search with half-baked snippets that barely work and at worst obscure the information you're actually looking for

Nepotism in the UK differs to nepotism in the US in the same way that Ricky Gervais’ The Office differs to Steve Carrell’s: It’s subtler, nastier, and arguably more effective in achieving its aims

Thinking about how episode 10 of Andor they had Andy Serkis deliver probably the best written, best acted monologue in Star Wars and then instead of ending the episode, five minutes later they give Stellan Skarsgård probably the best written, best acted monologue in Star Wars

Yeah, iOS really needs to stop asking me whether I care that its first-party Weather app has been tracking my location, because I really, really don't.

one of the worst things Apple did to iOS was add the constant prompts for always allow location access. Yes, I want to let this app always access my location, please stop asking me. It regularly ruins my smart home presence apps
