i sleep in blue jeans AND change into diff ones (extra freak option.)
secret third option in the tags idk
(NOTE: for the purposes of this poll “real clothes”=whatever u would wear outside normally, pajamas=whatever ur comfy sleep clothes are. could be actual fancii pajamas could be boxers and a big shirt i dont care. if you sleep naked idk man)

I don’t think I’ve seen that! It’s clear
It’s cleverness, genius endear:)
I thought I had done

Mecano cats! Checking your cars for pets and doing a dubious job of it!
In recent years, Google users have developed one very specific complaint about the ubiquitous search engine: They can’t find any answers. A simple search for “best pc for gaming” leads to a page dominated by sponsored links rather than helpful advice on which computer to buy. Meanwhile, the actual results are chock-full of low-quality, search-engine-optimized affiliate content designed to generate money for the publisher rather than provide high-quality answers. As a result, users have resorted to work-arounds and hacks to try and find useful information among the ads and low-quality chum. In short, Google’s flagship service now sucks.
And Google isn’t the only tech giant with a slowly deteriorating core product. Facebook, a website ostensibly for finding and connecting with your friends, constantly floods users’ feeds with sponsored (or “recommended”) content, and seems to bury the things people want to see under what Facebook decides is relevant. And as journalist John Herrman wrote earlier this year, the “junkification of Amazon” has made it nearly impossible for users to find a high-quality product they want — instead diverting people to ad-riddled result pages filled with low-quality products from sellers who know how to game the system.
All of these miserable online experiences are symptoms of an insidious underlying disease: In Silicon Valley, the user’s experience has become subordinate to the company’s stock price. Google, Amazon, Meta, and other tech companies have monetized confusion, constantly testing how much they can interfere with and manipulate users. And instead of trying to meaningfully innovate and improve the useful services they provide, these companies have instead chased short-term fads or attempted to totally overhaul their businesses in a desperate attempt to win the favor of Wall Street investors. As a result, our collective online experience is getting worse — it’s harder to buy the things you want to buy, more convoluted to search for info
Cory Doctorow has a similar concept of enshitification:
Here is how platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.…
This is enshittification: Surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they’re locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they’re locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of shit. From mobile app stores to Steam, from Facebook to Twitter, this is the enshittification lifecycle.…
Enshittification truly is how platforms die. That’s fine, actually. We don’t need eternal rulers of the internet. It’s okay for new ideas and new ways of working to emerge. The emphasis of lawmakers and policymakers shouldn’t be preserving the crepuscular senescence of dying platforms. Rather, our policy focus should be on minimizing the cost to users when these firms reach their expiry date: Enshrining rights like end-to-end would mean that no matter how autocannibalistic a zombie platform became, willing speakers and willing listeners would still connect with each other.-Cory Doctorow. The ‘Enshittification’ of TikTok (archive link)
To add to this, I believe Tumblr has evaded some of this because of it having always had a niche audience and an abundance of porn. But the first steps of enshitification on Tumblr are the 2018 porn ban and the release of Tumblr live. Let’s be loyal to the community and not to the platform.
it does feel a little bit like being gaslit that the internet is slowly getting worse in barely perceptible ways- it’s validating to see an article that says, “yes, it’s not that you’re getting old and somehow losing your google proficiency, GOOGLE IS WORSE THAN IT USED TO BE.”
Amazon literally shows you fewer search results if you sort by user reviews instead of “Amazon recommended”, and I remember that it didn’t used to do that
In connection to my hobbies poll and making it a little positive, which physical activity are you MOST likely to enjoy*? *I am STRESSING on the fact that competition is NOT a necessary part of enjoying a physical activity as a hobby (unless you genuinely enjoy that, then go wild)
Running/jogging 🏃♂️🏃
Wilderness exploration (Hiking ⛰️, rock climbing 🧗, camping)
Team sports (Football, hockey, roller derby ⚽️🏑)
Water-based sports (surfing, swimming, water volleyball 🏄🏊🤽♀️)
Individual sports (archery, biking, skateboarding, bowling 🚵♀️)
Cold/ice sports (ice skating, sledding, ice hockey ⛸️🎿🛷)
Martial arts (karate, MMA, judo🥋)
Gym activities (weightlifting, cardio, pilates, zoomba)*
Niche physical activity in my area //Not in other categories
I can’t/don’t do (any) physical activities
The categories are extremely arbitrary and most likely incorrect. Bare with it.
(*) - activities that tend to be done in a gym studio of sorts
