"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianI think someone mentioned this one a while ago, but I remembered it and giggled a bit.
"Dad, why were people fighting about sexual orientation?"

Why something called 'the LIBOR scandal' means that everyone who has 'bought a house' actually ends up living in a cardboard box.

Why I have a half-repaired double-helix railgun in my garage.
... And this is why I will never have kids.
Smile for me!why would your railgun have double helixes? that sounds completely inefficient.

Smile for me!having a coil is going to cause the magnetic field do some wacky things, though.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'"What's that honey? A save button- no, that's a floppy disk dear. You see, like this quantum micro-drive. What? No, actually it only holds about a thousandth of what this holds and we liked it that way."
"This thing? Oh no this isn't a mini microwave, this is a discman. No, see before I-pods we put our music on cds. Cds? Yup they were like frisbee shaped. Frisbee? Okay they were like small versions of the X-98 discplane the Air Force is making."
"No I can't sweetie, this is on radio. No I can't fast forward, it plays in real time. We could change the channel, channel? They used to have those on TV's. There were about 300 of them, but nothing to watch."

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.My kids will ask why floppy discs weren't floppy. And I won't know.
They'll definitely know what CD's, cassettes and VHS tapes are though, knowing me.

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." TwitterWell, the 5.25" disks were completely floppy, it was the 3.5" disks that went to .
The discs themselves were quite floppy. They just had a hard plastic case to protect them.
hashtagsarestupidGuess I'm old enough to remember the stiff-cased floppy disks, not the older ones.
True story: When I was about ten years old my friend and I were messing with one of the school computers in the computer lab. When you turned it on it would say in this monotone voice "Please insert your floppy disk." But we figured out how to mash the buttons on the keyboard and make it's voice glitch, making it say "Please insert your floppy di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i...." We thought it was the funniest thing ever, until the teacher gave us referrals and we got this big lecture on how we'd be paying for the computer if we broke it.
My tropes launched: https://surenity2.blogspot.com/2021/02/my-tropes-on-tv-tropes.htmlMy school had the 5.5" discs for a while, but they were ancient by then.
When I was in third grade the computer lab got upgraded to all new Macintoshes running the original OS X, and then the very next year it was all upgraded again to Dells, leaving the Macs to be disseminated through the school.
Fresh-eyed movie blogI still remember when our middle school library got Macs back when I was in 6th grade.
God I can actually remember the fund rising our school did to get it's self a Mac.
That's right, one.

Probably the most obvious thing will be the future generations' utter confusion that most phones used to be wired. Or that phones weren't always miniature computers.

Guys, did you ever had to load your video games from a cassette? I mean, like, the audio one. The most important game was "Do Not Sneeze, Or It Won't Load".

We still have more videotapes than DVDs, and use the VCR most often as our DVD player can't record stuff.
I'd probably have to explain the concept of text-based games. And biros (also known as ballpoint pens), and all the things you can make with the springs from them. I hope biros will disappear in the near future, those awful things that I nonetheless buy by the dozen!
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
