My friend is a multi-multi-multi-millionaire. Her father started a retail giant in my country. She has her own pool building with (i think it’s called) a free span roof. It is big enough to contain 6 copies of the house I used to own, exterior, roof, chimney and all. She spends more money per month heating the building and pool (which has not been used in 3 years) and paying maintenance and upkeep, than most people pay on their mortgage per year. She complained that the cost of natural gas went up 1.2%. She was spitting mad, tearing up the bill, balling it up and throwing it down in a huff. She also has a 30 car single span roof garage with row after row of industrial racking which contains mostly packrat stuff. She keeps that “Quonset” as she calls it, a balmy 20C all year through our -25C winters. And also complains about that cost.
The firstest world problem ever: Bored horny teen boys memed us into fascism through social media manipulation and no one is willing to face facts about it
and no one is willing to face facts about it
What do you mean by this? I think a lot of people can see that things aren’t right with many teen boys.
I drank too much kombucha in a short time period and it gave me a terrible bellyache.
Get those little pressure lines on your fingers carrying bags of groceries into the house.
THEY STIOPED SELLING THESE I LOCED THEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭🐍
The motorcycle I bought to zip around and have fun on is broken, so I have to drive my car instead while I wait for the part to arrive.
I don’t know what’s the most first world problem I’ve experienced, but the most recent was when I tried to use my roasting pan on my relatively new stove today and found that the roasting pan is not induction compatible.
So I put it in the Goodwill pile and ordered a fancy brand pan to replace it.
You could always try one of those adapter plates
I don’t really have a lot of space for more stuff and I did already order another one. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
I want to buy Bionicles.
I cannot buy Bionicles.
I’ve been enjoying these all day with my global south tm popcorn. Keep 'em coming X^D
Going out looks fun but then you try it and it isn’t fun.
I have a weird relationship with numbers. I like some more than others.
I don’t like # 9.
My current phone is a Pixel Pro 9. I’m seriously considering trying to sell it and get the Pixel Pro 10. 🙄
Ack!
Sometimes my 3D printer nozzle gets clogged and if I don’t have a new one I have to order one and use my other two 3D printers until the new nozzle comes
My robot lawnmower keeps getting stuck on my garden beds and I have to walk out at least once a day to restart it.
Does the map not have a way to block the beds area? I block the bathrooms from my vacuum.
Not with my dumb free bouncing worx robot. Next robot will solve that problem though. No wires and use GPS (well… RTX, VSLAM, and cameras/sensors). What a time to be alive.
Oh yeah. I upgraded my dumb bouncy robot vacuum for one with lidar and a base station it vacuums into. It’s amazing and I love it. I even got shorter doggy gates to block bedrooms but I elevated them about 5 inches off the floor so the vacuum could still go under and clean the room.
They’re called bed because the put the robot to sleep.
My first world experience was being born. Entirely downhill since then
The most first world problem I ever experienced was years ago, some games show tips and info during load screens, well my new computer was loading the games faster than I was able to read the tips, the moment I voiced my complaint about it I knew it was the most first world problem I would ever experience.
Variants on that problem have been around for quite some time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button
On some older IBM PC–compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: the default “turbo” speed or a reduced speed closer to the Intel 8086 CPU. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286,[1] 80386 and 80486 processors,[2] from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine’s power and efficiency. When pressed, the “turbo” button is intended to let a computer run at the highest speed for which it had been designed.[3]
With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU’s frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable, due to the reduced time allowed to react to the faster game events. To restore compatibility, the “turbo” button was added.[4] Disengaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.
Its all true, I was there. Its all coming back to me.
The beige. Computers were all beige.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beige_box
IBM’s early desktop computers (e.g. IBM Personal Computer, IBM PC/AT) were beige, and box-shaped, and most manufacturers of clones followed suit.[citation needed] As IBM and its imitators came to dominate the industry, these features became standards of desktop computer design.
