Floppy disk. Fight me.

Voyager error. It’s a gif of Star Trek, I think.

I think you have them backwards, surely the Charizard is the granddad

How does that work? Colored e-ink?

Don’t know, never been :P

I meant her. Mike and his guitar; Sarah and her violin; The computer and its speakers.

“its” is comparable to “his” or “her”, not to e.g. “Dave’s”.

Going to concerts. It’s too loud and it’s crowded, I just don’t see the appeal.

And while we’re at it, dancing. It’s unnatural, I tell you!

When a country goes to war, internal conflicts (i.e. left wing vs. right wing) are forgotten, or at least put on hold, and everyone is suddenly on the same page.

you kid, but there’s no shortage of steam games where steam (a launcher) updates the game’s launcher

I haven’t seen them, but based on your description, I think this xkcd explains how these movies were conceived:

Dang, I definitely remember this scene and it’s been ages since I’ve seen this show.

Fascinating!

Nah, my .de means nothing, it was just an arbitrary choice of instance for me.

Was changing your name not possible back then, or were you just not aware that it’s possible?

… a calculator, an electronic translator, an alarm clock, a video games console, an infinite DVD player, a spirit level, a personal weather forecaster, …

oh and I also think it can make telephone calls

I’m out of the loop, is that a thing? Best I know is that it’s highly manageable with treatment, not cured.

Wait, how old is consumer satnav? I am pretty sure it was available (albeit not too commonplace) when I was a kid in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. I really do take it for granted… As long as my government doesn’t deliberately scramble it for security reasons, which happened a lot in the past year.

Considering how many asterisks you need to add there, I wouldn’t say teleportation is “inevitable”.

The word you’re thinking of is ‘user’.

It’s impossible to know how long such a change will take to diverge. I guess my weeks/months estimate is baseless, I’ll grant you that. But some changes will have faster effects than others.

For example, if you remove a very famous person or someone from royalty, it will change the news cycle, which millions of people read all over the place. Each person who reads or would have read the news about it would have their life slightly altered, so this one change causes millions of differences over a large area. With so many changes, it’s likely that one of them will turn out more significant.
