My mom when she walks in and I'm just staring at the default Windows desktop

Win + d for the win

Like when your mum walks in and sees you masturbating to a blank MS word document.

Like when your boss walks in and sees staring at a generic spreadsheet with an Xbox controller in your hand.

This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn't save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).

That's so sweet!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, since there's nothing you can do on a computer except for browse the Internet.

Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬

Inb4 "stfu millennial" or something? 🤔

My parents thought MSN messenger would store all conversation logs even if I turned that feature off. They ended up paying somebody to scan the hard drive for something that didn't exist.

And then your mom checks the access logs on the router which stores all of your visits in plain text. And why? Because you forgot to use cue vpn ad

That's their own fault for skipping past all the YouTube sponsorship infomercials.

Plot twist: You used celular instead of wifi

Mom's just happy you didn't stumble upon her MILF stuff

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a friend that had this happen to them. It was devastating to see their parents like that.

[–] ItsABarmcake@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That's what they told you? 🤔

Staring at a bunch of empty tissue boxes

Doesn't look like anything to me.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

As a ln early teenager I thought my mother was kinda daft for not questioning why I was using so many tissues and wordless just replenished them.

Well, later in life I understand that she didn't neef to question where she already knew the answer.

"Mom this browser doesn't recorded a history to protect me from companies tracking me online."

I was playing the maze game on screensaver

[–] flan@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

back in my day we found a box of nudie mags in the forest like God intended!

Someone saves history?

[–] llama@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

On windows 98 before clearing Internet history was a thing I knew how to do, I would just click log off and login to Windows under another random username.

[–] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Hm, curious!

I made Firefox focus on my phone my default browser so everything opens directly on it. If I know I will need something later, I will select open in... and Firefox. that way I keep away the cluther of 200+ tabs opened at the same time
