I’ve definitely re-watched old Adult Swim stuff. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 in particular. (I need to include Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law in that mix)
I’m kind of in the same boat, thought I’d be programming but figured out early on that sitting at a desk coding for 8+ hours a day just wasn’t my thing. Turns out I’m happier doing all the other IT grunt work e.g. setting up servers, backups, dealing with the network/wireless/firewalls, even provisioning and supporting user desktops gets interesting.
Left my apartment window open once when going out, came back that night to find a pigeon just sort of wandering around. It clearly had no idea how to get back outside.
Took me a bit to corner it and catch it but I did manage to get it back out the window.
Twitter/X was easy for me, as soon as Musk touched it I closed that account. Wasn’t too active on there anyway.
Still on Instagram but planning to close that soon. Facebook is a bit trickier with all the older friends/family on there that probably won’t move elsewhere. Then again most of the friends/family I see regularly already stopped posting/commenting on Facebook so there’s a lot of dead accounts on there.
Left Reddit during the API exodus.

MISUNDERSTOOD INSTRUCTIONS, CAN’T BREATH.
Would notice immediately when I go to work, too much of a strange coincidence for most of my office to be missing.
Plus I guess you’re saying they still exist? So it would be sort of like being in an office full of ghosts still going about their day, I’d keep seeing invisible people answering calls, printing stuff to the printer, etc.
PS - This is all assuming I make it to work, just walking to work in the morning would be a disaster if I keep bumping directly into invisible people in my building, out on the sidewalk, etc… so most likely would notice something is wrong long before I make it into work.
Never did that on purpose.
In fact it wouldn’t even had occurred to me to try to do that speaking spanish - The school district I went to growing up is about 60% hispanic so most of the teachers knew at least some spanish.
I just tip the amount I would have tipped if it was something paid. In practice that only happens to me in bars if the bartender gives me a drink on the house and I’ll always tip in those situations. Always tip your bartender :)
Could probably launch my own line of bagel chips (or bagel crisps), I’d never need to buy the main ingredient.
