Alarmed by the intimation that the bloke has been cremated or compacted somehow.

    was at a flea market, there was a machete, i jockingly called it a pocket knife, because it fits in a pocket,

    put it in my pocket, it fit.

    felt bad for my daughter's who will likely never get proper pockets.

    who do I need to hack with my pocket knife for them to get normal pockets?

    WTF, dude, get out of my pocket!

    My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I'm chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.

    Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there's more to it.

    Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.

    I hate when people have boomboxes too

    Yes. At least the person with a boom box brought quality speakers.

    Also, their sick roller skate moves timed to their music are pretty great.

    Edit: Plus, it's not inconsiderate, because everyone loves "Wham!" (Classic 1980s music, from the last time I saw a boom box in public.)

    TBF, the stereo speakers probably sound better and are certainly capable of being much louder than my phone speakers. But yeah, miles better in every other capacity.

    How big are your pockets?

  • source
  • [–] 10 points 1 year ago* (9 children)

    You cannot fit three sets of headphones in your pocket without them fucking up your phone or your wallet.

    You absolutely positively 100% cannot fit a VHS player inside your pocket.

    And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system (quality meaning the frequency response, phones just physically can't get the low end without a separate speaker)

    That's a good thing. You don't remember guys walking down the street, or getting on the subway, carrying a boom box on their shoulder, loudly blasting distorted music you don't care to hear.

    Now they just pump it directly into their ears. Let them destroy their own hearing, not everyone else's. They make Bluetooth speakers if you need to broadcast your music to a group.

    And technically most of it would fit inside your butt. There just isn't a market for butt phones.

    The Walkman and other tape players were so much superior to CD players for portability and convenience. Batteries lasted a lot longer for portable tape players than for CD players. Tapes could be remixed easily so you could bring a specific playlist (or 2 or 3) with you. Tapes were much more resilient than CDs. The superior audio quality of CDs didn't matter as much when you were using 1980's era headphones. Or, even if you were using a boombox, the spinning of a disc was still susceptible to bumps or movement causing skips, and the higher speed motor and more complex audio processing drained batteries much faster. And back then, rechargeable batteries weren't really a thing, so people were just burning through regular single use alkaline batteries.

    It wasn't until the 90's that decent skip protection, a few generations of miniaturization and improved battery life, and improved headphones made portable CDs competitive with portable tapes.

    At the same time, cars started to get CD players, but a typical person doesn't buy a new car every year, so it took a few years for the overall number of cars to start having a decent number of CD players.

    Kinda miss having discrete tech devices to be honest. In the era of non-replaceable phone memory trying to juggle space to hold it all on one device sucks.
