When I was a kid my grandparents were the most mind-numbingly boring people I knew. Sitting on the front porch watching cars go by? Feeding ducks at the park? METAL DETECTING?!?! That was the perfect way to spend an entire goddamn day. Now I'm 42 and that poo poo makes sense. I'm not to the point where I do any of it yet, but I understand the appeal. Getting old is such bullshit.

i never understood why old people liked feeding the birds at the park but the other day I spent a good 5 hours chasing around a bunch of ducks whipping bird seed at them and probably blinded a couple of them and now I understand perfectly

That Louis CK bit where he explains that grandpa would just go for long walks or stare at the back yard because he didn't want to have to talk to grandma is 100% true. Imagine living with someone where you don't have thirty forms of electronic media to distract them.

your grandpa is halfways smart because relying on ~cloud~ providers of media like music is dumb as hell

always have a hard backup of anything you want to keep

that said the dyes in cd-rs fade over time so hopefully he has them stored on something more stable as well

edit: youtube audio quality is mixed as well

If the forums don't get shut down, we'll be seeing a lot more of these threads in the coming decades. SA will be an insulated community of geriatrics in 2030, of 50 and 60-somethings. Will be pretty sweet imo.

I'm 30-something years young and am a heavy drinker so will likely be dead from cirrhosis by then, but it definitely sounds like it'll be therapeutic for the rest of you.
