That sounds about right.
I'm not sure most of the people I know have more than 50 facts in their heads.
It's the Alzheimer's edition
Remember when ads had several paragraphs in small print and everybody read them because there was nothing else to do.
and detailed information about the products instead of just a list of vague bullet points that really don't tell you anything so you have to scour the internet to find out if the thing will actually work for what you want or not.
And to think yesterday I added 1 trillion additional bytes of storage to my computer for the same purchasing power as that watch cost when it was new. What a time to be alive.
But did you put 50 things from your head in it?
Error. My head does not contain 50 unique things.
Buffer underflow.
Me too. Me too.
Awww. I had one of these as a kid. I thought it was the coolest thing ever at the time.
And you were right.
Playing Abiotic Factor, and I go "huh that's a neat watch". Three days later, an advert for a decades old, exact same watch on Lemmy lol
Wow, I don't know if I have ever seen an uglier advertisement... And I lived through the 90s Sunny D campaign.
I love it. It's like a dollar store Dali knock off.
