Yeah I'm vaguely remembering something similar. I have these faint whispers of a memory of my teacher forgetting (or probably, "forgetting") to cover something on the wall during a memorization test.

It's also worth noting that the 9% they cut off was probably the group more inclined to already be using alternatives to Reddit anyways.

Once someone asked if Stephen and Stephen were pronounced the same. Presumably they meant "Steven" for one of those, but the question as written was dumb.

I wager some people want "dumbphones". A phone you open and just dial into without scrolling through apps. A phone with a simple screen that doesn't just gobble down battery life. So, like, a smartphone could fit this need with the right interfaces available.

I get what you're saying, but leaf blowers are also commonly used for cleaning up extra grass clippings from the roads, etc.

Is electric pricey where you are? It's been a while since I calculated, but last I checked, electric was cheaper in my area than gas for most of the electric vehicles.

Hey, every now and then kids have amazing ideas that get shot down by adults with no imagination.

It feels like a weird study. I can't tell if the study, or just the article, was trying to make GenZ look like fools yet again, when the actual results found are "GenZ is like a lot of other people in yet another way".

I suspect a lot of the influencer numbers are pretty inflated.

You came up with the idea of a multi-directional treadmill, or came up with the implementation using spinning/tilting disks?

It doesn't grind anything basically the same way a treadmill doesn't sand anything. You're not forcing anything to stay put on the surface, you're maneuvering on the surface while the surface is counter-moving you.

I wager they're so used to getting away with shit that destroying evidence probably says less about the crimes committed and more about the piss-poor justice system.
