1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Good

 

Facebook is also dealing with a massive culture war and has issue attracting younger users because of it. Young folks don't want to be on the social platform where boomers yell about their shitty ideals/politics when they could be having more fun on a platform the older audience doesn't really understand like TikTok or what have you. They're now fighting a war of attrition haha

 

It's true. My 10 year old nephew told me no one uses Facebook anymore lol

 

They're entering their myspace era

 

From the mouths of babes....



Really though he's right. Kids beyond a certain age don't want to be on the same social media site as their parents... and frankly Facebook's targeting motivations are design more for 18+ users too... but most of those under 25 aren't interested in staying in the trap, they recognize what it is.

 

I think Facebook has a shelf life, I hope we can learn lessons from it to apply to the next Facebook.

 

Having your first quarter of loss in daily active users isn't a good sign.

A lot of people I know that left FB have stayed on Instagram, though

 

narrator: they wouldn't

 

Oh they will, it won't be us learning but those who design the features and algorithms will absolutely address what they missed this go around.

 

I think Tom was smarter to sell it off earlier though before it tanked completely.

 

Plus he was everyone's friend, MySpace wasn't evil... it just wasn't lasting... maybe that's because it wasn't evil.

 

Narrator: And with that, 0xDEADBEEF lost the last shreds of his optimism in a fizzle of sadness

 

Oh god I forgot about the top 8 and the deliberation required to figure it out

I hate scraping permatex from around dowel pins

 

I just pull the dowels… they usually come out without much fuss

 

What do you use to pull em?

I never thought of that cause I just assumed it was an interference fit snd they pressed the pins in

 

Dudes living his best life now that's for sure, traveling the world on that early retirement the $580mil got him

 

Sold it in 2005 too, for that much. To News Corp I think
