Had a gen z coworker once who was a little mind-blown when I pointed out that the squeaky boots episode of SpongeBob is just “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Usually any time I’ve tried to share that fun fact, anyone who’s already familiar with both stories has already connected the dots. It was pretty fun to witness the “holy shit it IS the same story” realization in real time.
I am familiar with the telltale heart, but not squeaky boots episode. However, I can gather that squidward likely was going fucking insane because SpongeBob had squeaky boots.
Very close. It’s actually Mr. Krabs that the boots are driving nuts in that one.
I hate apps that don’t close when you close them, and you have to go through a bunch of sub menus to shut them down, or confirm it multiple times… I also hate when apps have taskbar icons for absolutely no reason. It’s a big peeve of mine
Steam for example.
I was thinking of exactly steam as I was writing this haha :3
I’m fine with apps having this functionality. It’s the fact that it’s the default behavior that I hate 😭
Oh im even one more step further, I don’t mind that the functionality exists, or that it’s the default behaviour, but… the amount of stuff that doesn’t have the option to disable that behaviour, now that gets me riled up
Whatever you do, don’t tell this person about macOS.
It took somebody showing me to finally understand what was going on when I first used one back in college
