I remember when IMDb was fully free and it was normal to download the entire database to run locally on one's own computer.

The most famous weekly newspaper is probably The Economist. I myself am quite fond of NZZ am Sonntag.

The weirdest part of living outside the US is the number of people who still obsess over the US.

Do you honestly find it weird that people all over the world obsess over the one country in the world that constantly sends its enormous military all over the world?

Used to be, back before the enshittification, that you could view a thread of just your own tweets and not see a thousand nazis and bots. That was back in the days when a profile had its tweets in chronological order instead of bullshit nonsense

what the fuck is a “chapter book”?

It's a kind of book for children who are learning to read, which unlike a picture book (or, to some extent, a comic book) consists primarily of text that the reader must read in order to get the story.

Unfortunately I’m not sure something like that exists,

Well, that's exactly why such an app was what I wrote as my reply to the question "What app/program do you wish existed […]?"
