The bbc made a 13 year old boy trade his Ipod for a 1st generation walkman for a week

"It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape."

I understand if it was around 50 years ago, but I was still using cassettes in my early teens. heck, I just switched to buying cds only recently CDs were for special bands

If he's 13, that means he was born in 1996. so he'd be able to learn bout things like CD's etc by the age of say 8. that's 2004. by 2004, who the FUCK uses cassettes anymore?!?!! ngahahahahaha!!!

you're starting to sound like those whiney jiji who prefers to sagat kelapa using the traditional sagat instead of just going with the machined stuff. dude.

having said that. when i was younger i had this unhealthy fixation with typewriters. i remebered typing a whole buncha shite and smelling and touching the paper. nowt like that feeling i tells ya............

My point is, he's talking like its obsolete and even though its on its way there, its not. *I* used tapes in 2004! tapes ARE STILL BEING SOLD.

and thats completely off. thats like whole chicken and sausages. would you stop buying actual chicken just because they have it ground and packaged in a neat tube? plus you don't know how hygenic machined kelapa is. unless you buy the machine yourself. and unlike the cassette, that old thing isn't sold/available at mass.

told abah about it and he was all "I should write on that. I've lived through the entire thing, from zero to now." and he went on to reminisce about the time when they used slate in school instead of books and if they got the answer right, they'd compare who has the longest checkmark on their "papan selait" (he only realized they've been saying 'slate' when he was in form 6 lol)

question: you find a box at the door. inside is a severed limb. ruling out a peen, what limb is in the box?

[ringhelediel]

well to be fair to him, there' iPods and blurays and all that fuck, why the hell would he even bother knowing bout some soon-to-be-obsolete technology? i mean. i could see cobwebs down the cassettes isle. if they still have one haha

[avieyal]

tape-cd is an evolution. which is why your kelapa analogy doesn't fit, like chicken sausages in kari (which you technically could, I guess, in darurat.)

because if I didn't rule out peen, you're likely to say peen.

and they pealed the skin from his head back. and i saw his intestines. I was thinking "his intestines are in his head?" yeah throw it my way lets see this intestine-head-handless dude.

and I just realized I dictated the outcome dammit. okay forget the limb. You open the box and you find an organ, body part. It would be..?

[ringhelediel]

tpae-cd=sagat kelapa+ mechanized sagat. they're both technological evolutions. like analog to digital. you're displacing the whole point of the sagat analogy.

and chicken sausage in kari is fuckin eew/.

owh haha. two separate things, that. dayah's in school/

yes u did. brain. why?
