Chicken Fajitas. In 1982 when they first came out we had a Mexican waiter who said they won't last. Just a fad. He was definitely wrong.

Vanilla dip n dots are their best flavor yet I never see them being sold. Can't ever be discontinued if you're perpetually the ice cream of the future.

Subscription based services.

But alas, I once again failed to account for the ability for humanity to conditioning itself to literally ****ing itself over.

You will own nothing and you will like it!

I almost started mining Bitcoin back when it was $15-20 a coin in value….then I decided to use my nerd resources at the time to do protein folding instead. I also almost bought some in cash but the exchanges were primitive back then and looked VERY sketchy to be giving them credit card/account info.

i remember my brother trying to sell it to me in 2014 or so. Laughed at him. Now he doesnt work and I do. Such is life.

The conveyor is moot.

The plane will take off.

The Sopranos. When I saw the first ads for it, I thought it looked kind of dumb and had a dumb name.

I had a similar opinion when I heard the premise of Breaking Bad

That's what I thought about the office when I saw commercials for it. Probably the wrongest I've been in whole life. Show rocked

I also thought in the mid 90's apple would never come back from obscurity and Amazon would only ever be an online book store, and beer money was more important. Crap.

I bought like ten bitcoins at fifteen bucks apiece and have no idea where they are now.

That was one of the thoughts I had way back then: they'd slowly get stranded inaccessible for eternity as passwords or digital keys to access them were lost/forgotten. Without knowing how much of a fraction of the mined total that is, you can't say the value of the remainder that is accessible and tradable reflects the true market value. The technology for security is useful though. It uses a lot of power though and that has weird economic consequences.

My daughter's best friend bought some cheap when someone she went to optometry school with told her about it and was encouraging people to jump in.

She looked extensively for whatever login info she supposedly needed to access those bitcoins but had not taken it seriously and didn't put that info in a safe place.

They were worth $17,000 at that point after she paid less than $1000 to buy them. Not sure what they're worth now.

Grocery store curbside. I don't understand why you want to sit and wait 30 mins for someone to bring your groceries to you when you could have gone in and picked everything yourself in that time

---

Im actually surprised anyone goes into the grocery store anymore. So much easier to just swing by and pick them up, takes 10 minutes, dont have to deal with fats and olds blocking the walkway.

I see Yogi Berra saying something like that, lol.

Well, there was this girl in my passenger seat as I was driving. Her dress was incredibly short. I admired her legs which she much appreciated. I then said, "….and I love that dress. The only thing that can beat that dress is that dress with no panties."

I really thought Snapchat would be used exclusively for sending boobies and weiners but now it seems like it's the primary texting app the kids are using. Weird!

Let me tell you what the kids are sending…

That's a real tongue twister.

It was annoying then. You had to click several times just to get a word out.

I remember being issued my first blackberry. It was revolutionary.

Chickens don't have fajitas

The bevel.

And yes, I'm completely serious. When it first debuted in '99 I actually laughed at A) how ugly it was and B) that anyone thought it looked good. We were only 5 or 6 years from when the Association changed the font on the Former Student stickers to that RIDICULOUS cartoon font. It got switched back pretty quickly due to the backlash. I figured the bevel would suffer the same fate. 26 years later.........

Bitcoin

In early May of 2012, one of my big drinking buddies was the company IT guy. One Friday night at the bar, he started explaining Bitcoin and how he used it buy stuff on the dark web, kind of like a token at an arcade lets you play arcade games. He bought all kinds of crap, mostly decommissioned military A/V equipment like digital cameras, video cameras, microphones, etc. AV stuff was his hobby, and he like the state-of-the-art nature of it I guess. He also bought just about everything else on the dark web to avoid sales taxes. From tires to ivory soap, that's where he did his shopping. All with bitcoin.

That night after landing a huge new client and a big ass commission check burning a hole in my pocket...and after drinking my weight in Shiner Bock, I let him convince me to buy 200 bitcoins at roughly $5 a piece ($1,000 in total value). I bought a 12-pack of toilet paper on the dark web just to see how it worked.

A few days later the package of toilet paper showed up on my doorstep, and the fuzzy drunken memory of "squandering" $1,000 on 'fake money' came rushing back to me. I promptly cashed out my 200 bitcoins for roughly $1,000 in cash.

By the way, those 200 bitcoins would be worth over 23 million dollars today.
