Lest you think I'm bragging, the one before that was Omegaverse fanfic.
When anthropologists study people who still hunt and gather for their food (e.g., the Hadza), what they do more than anything is... nothing in particular. Not hunting, foraging, building, repairing weapons/clothing/housing, socializing, etc. just... chilling.
Their lives are incredibly hard and I wouldn't trade places with them, but the idea that the natural state of people is hustling is false. People hustled for their food, then rested once they had it. Some days they hunt from dawn to dusk, other days they found a beehive and chilled.
This is an underappreciated benefit of the Web starting out as a bunch of documents, and then becoming an application platform. Even web apps are very text-first. Copy/past and crtl+F tend to work on most pages. And the fact that most views can be accessed via URL is handier than many people realize.
That you know of.
True, but getting some details wrong seems to fit with the theme of the meme.
I like the iNaturalist app: https://www.inaturalist.org/. When I see something I'm interested in whether plant or animal, I upload a picture and it tells me what it thinks it is. And they're trying to collect good data about flora and fauna so there are volunteers who review submissions and agree or correct it, so it's not just an algorithm doing the work. Obviously when you upload it it's a computer making a guess but people usually review the uploads later, and you can get emails with the results of those reviews.
Someone else mentioned Merlin for birds, which is cool because it can do image ID or bird call ID.
Hell yes. I've written a unit price calculator, a tip calculator, a "how many plates do I need to put on this barbell to reach X weight?" app, a "am I connected to the Internet" app, and a few other small things. Other people have already written apps like these. But these apps work the way I want them to, and they were good learning experiences.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Cookout at a park? Reserve a space that has a roof and grill, and everyone else can bring sides?

That's with cause.
