- Auto playing and unrelated videos that play when I open a website.
- Ads in apps that needs 100 close button clicks to skip, each of which is a z-index bomb that takes you to play store to install their crappy app.

Apparently, concrete blocks are a thing to be mad about

fucking steven king with his fucking stupid ending to the dark tower.
Fuck that trumpet.
When people say "We cannot do that because of GDPR/insurance". I do not know, why these two "reasons" trigger me so hard, but: you dismissed an idea within microseconds, because you ever read the GDPR or the insurance conditions? You really know all the court rulings and intricacies around those of the last decades, to know within half a second, that something is not feasible?
Really, those are just magic words which for some reason makes everybody go "yep, that must be true. We can't do anything anymore, because of insurance or GDPR. That ist how the world works".
So there's this discounter chain. Their toilet paper store brand is called Happy End. Goddam it. Just writing it ticks me off. I don't understand why anyone would do that. I go out of my way to buy TP elsewhere. Am I really the only one? I can't be the only one. It's such a terrible pun. Why are they not rebranding? FFS
Messenger's ui makes me burst a nerve
Ui being off by a few pixel, like microsoft calculator.
Shit observational comedians harvesting this thread for material
That vacuums are so terribly loud and whiny (and unnecessarily tiny space heaters). Older vacuums used to be bigger and run slower, but in my experience vacuumed as much or even better. Nowadays they put several kilowatt motors in there that somehow don't do as much but produce immense noise and heat.
If someone vacuums with their window open I can tell from over 100m away by the whine. Fuck that.
I used to hate vaccuming because of that. I'm glad to have an actually quiet vacuum now (a Henry). They're rare, but they do exist.
People who chew with their mouths open should be fucking euthanized.
Obviously, I don’t actually think that, but as a misophonic person who was brought up right, it drives me fucking insane when people do this.
Also Misophonic and 100% agree.
All unnecessary sound bothers me. If you're doing a thing that doesn't need to make noise but choose to do so it's going to annoy me. For whatever reason though chewing in particular drives me to madness.
Broom dustpans don't need a fucking lip. You're sitting there repeatedly sweeping the same dirt into the same pan instead of a simple one and done because that way if you hold the pan up perfectly level like a fucking sociopath the dirt doesn't fall out.
Timezones are fucking dumb and I hate them
Unfortunately we need them: https://qntm.org/abolish
I am glad someone fleshed out their arguments some, but I still don't agree. I think they are fundamentally missing the point. The sun position and a "time" do not, and I would argue, should not, be coupled.
I understand why we have timezones, but I've never heard an explanation for leap seconds that was particularly compelling.
I know that years and days don't exactly match up, but as far as I'm concerned, whoever it is that's being inconvenienced by the Earth being a few seconds out of rotation can go figure out their own workaround instead of messing up a million peoples' daily rollup scripts.
Good news for you, the CGPM decided in 2022 to abandon the leap second by 2035.
I think you mean daylight savings time is dumb & you hate it,(?) which would be understandable.
Time zones however are part of nature.
Hating daylight savings isn't weird, it's dumb and everyone knows it's dumb.
Timezones are arbitrary lines on the map that were made when trains were new and there was no good way to coordinate otherwise. We are way past that, everyone has an automatically synced and precise way of telling time on them pretty much at all times. The "time" is an arbitrary number. Noon is not when the sun is highest in the sky most of the year unless you live near the equator, midnight is rarely "the middle of the night", 9 to 5 should be deleted, and have one universal time would be one step closer to uniting human kind.
Timezones are fucking dumb, it's not the 1800s. I'll fight to the death over this.
I've argued for this before, both on Lemmy and elsewhere. Nice to see someone else with the same take.
Do you also get the impression that people who disagree with you almost always fail to understand the argument?
Absolutely, I'm probably going to do a YouTube video or a podcast or something with a friend of mine soon, this has been a multi year debate and we got into it over the weekend about it lol
