Propaganda here boys. Japanese aren't having kids, there is no youth.

Yeah. This shit comes around once or twice a year. It’s something to make the younger generations feel special and distanced from their predecessors.

Has to be. The Japanese still use fax machines

Back in my day we extruded our own polyester film, coated it with our own rust and cut them into discs free hand! All that for 170K of storage!

You think it's bad that the save icons have floppy disks?

A while ago, I was wondering why the usual icon for "database" (upright cylinder divided into multiple horizontal slices) looks like the original flowchart symbol for drum memory, further refined to look like a 1960s hard drive, you know, one of those washing machine sized units. But then again, if you have a serious database, chances are it's running on some several layers deep virtualised replica of a 1960s system

Nice try Satan, but my start up is building ads into car start ups. You can't switch gears until the ad is done.

My startup is building ads into ad startups. You can't ad before you finish an ad.

It is only mid 2020s and people already asking such questions. Imagine late 2030s or even 2040s.

In the UK the image on signs for speed cameras is a old 19th century bellows style camera

Maybe it's time to change the save icon into a USB drive.

Is it really so bad if it’s just a legacy icon?

These days I'm starting to see more and more of an arrow pointing down towards a hard drive, a file folder, or an outbox bin. I feel like that's a suitable replacement.

to me that means "download" rather than "save." if I'm using an online editor, "save" might not download anything.

Because it is hard to put there Jesus. He, same as floppy, died to became a save icon. /s

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I worked with an engineering software that was developed by a Christian team, they put a cross as the Save Icon. Cuz Jesus Saves. It was a good Dad joke so I had to let it slide.

Dad joke, lil joke, ghost joke 😎 The Holy Trinity of jokes.

That's a fictitious character.
Actual vending machines are never in this state.

Higher probabilities are:

purchased drink stuck before getting to the bottom
and
did not detect money that entered
