It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
Tv, The internet, the smallpox vaccine
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
Vaccines. My uncle had Polio as a child and so my Grandmother was still advocating strongly for vaccines before her death at 98. I’m happy to have received my first Shingrix shot last week. It’s amazing we can get a poke, with something that’s completely gone from the body in a week but we will have T-cells protecting us for a very long time.
E-bikes.
I got a couple of electric scooters for me and my gf to fuck around on. Ended up selling my car.
Lasers. They seem to have endless uses from playing with cats, scientific measurements, military, construction, heating, cooling, even used for space-based internet communications. There’s so many more uses that I’m not using.
MRNA vaccines. Not only have they saved millions of lives from COVID, they look like they are going to revolutionize other areas as well. For example, there is a wide-range cancer vaccine under development.
Milk.
Maybe a hot take, but Cyberpunk 2077. I didn’t experience most of the bugs people complained about and I loved almost everything about the game and world. It’s also only gotten better as they’ve patched it.
For me, it could never live up to the hype. But I am glad some people have enjoyed it so much and it has come a hell of a long way since release. I’ve been playing recently but going to wait for the new DLC and restart.
LeBron. He came out of HS as the “chosen one” and dominated the NBA most of his career. He could have easily have crumbled under the pressure and instead ended up being a top 3 all time player.
The polio vaccine.
SSD.
It is way way faster than HDD.
I can’t use HDD-only PC anymore.The Wire. It really is the greatest TV show ever made like people say it is.
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
