| 0:15.6 | Welcome to Dear Internet, the show where a group of friends come together to answer the internet's wildest |
| 0:21.1 | questions. This week, we're talking about stepmom's Christmas tree graveyard, the tragic state |
| 0:27.7 | of Sipson subreddits, and a romantic Christmas gift. I'm Jennifer Cheek, and with me is Tim |
| 0:34.2 | Lannie. Hello, Jennifer. Nick Fristow. Hello, Jennifer. And Michael DeMorrow. Hello, Jennifer. Hello, my little listeners, it's 2025. Happy New Year. Happy damn new year. We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. And number one, right off the bat, I got to say, a belated birthday to our Christmas birthday boy, Nick Bristow. Thank you, Nick Bristow. Oh, thank you so much. Nick Bristow. Yeah. Thank you. I usually do a tweet on X.com, but my excuse this year is that I don't like X.com. If you did, I didn't see it. Yeah, my, my posters. |
| 1:11.2 | Oh, I mean, I totally did a tweet. Yeah, he did it. I saw it. I know, my poster spirit is very low these days. Like, why? Like, why would I post there? Because, like, now blue sky is definitely, like, better than X was. but it reminded me like, even when social media sites are not like |
| 1:30.1 | actively full of trash, people are still really annoying. Yeah, yeah. I get a couple of replies. |
| 1:36.1 | I'm not going to mention in case they listen that. Just make me laugh so hard. It's just like, |
| 1:42.0 | it's, it's just like, it's, it just feels like blue sky is, |
| 1:44.4 | it's not, |
| 1:44.9 | like some people are saying, it's like, oh, it's like, 2013 Twitter, 2014 Twitter's like, no, it's kind of like everything. It's like we have 2014 back. We also have 2009. And then we also have this insane new version that's all like a melting pot. Yeah. Or a gumbo. excuse me. |
| 2:00.2 | A cosmic guzmo. |
| 2:01.0 | A cosmic gumbo. |
| 2:02.9 | That's really funny to look at. |
| 2:04.6 | Yeah. My only issue with Blue Sky really is that, like, when I open the app, I want it to be at the place I left off on. And then when I hit, like, load new tweets. Why do it? It just goes all the way up to the top and then I have to scroll back. |
| 2:18.6 | You gotta scroll backwards and then just maybe remember where you stopped? I mean, that's mad. Oh, no way, bro. Start at the top. Yeah, I agree with that. Because it's like maybe it's been like two days since how long ago. Like, you don't need to leave me at two days. But I miss all the good content if I scroll the top. |
| 2:34.5 | I've got to see every post one by one. |
| 2:37.5 | And then I scroll to the top. |
| 2:34.5 | I've got to see every post one by one. |
| 2:37.5 | And then I have to judge each one of them. If you want to scroll to the top, that's fine. But just like, you know, leave me where I was. And then I'll decide. If you like to scroll a position, you can keep it. Because like in the past on on x.com, I used to like, like if, like, like if I was a couple days behind and be like, all right, let's start over and go to the top. But I still want my position. Hell. No, Nick, I think you're valid. That is a concern that had not entered my brain. But I've seen other people talk about that too. And I was just like, it bothers me every time I open the app. Yeah. Really? Everyone uses things differently. |
| 3:08.4 | That didn't even occur to me. |
| 3:09.3 | I feel like that used to bother me when it would happen because it does feel weird |
