Symbolism

[revan343@lemmy.ca]

They're good for rough terrain, so ironically a tractor is one of the less silly things to make hover

[iceman@lemmy.world]

And designing your hover trtactor in the style of 2000 tractors is as much symbolism as the floppy disc.icon.

I respect all the science and research in hostile design, but then I rember the chilli peppers, just trying to keep safe from mamals by simulating the feeling of fire in their mouths...

Also tyres destroy the crop they drive over

[ilikeboobies@lemmy.ca]

Not a d scimmy?

[pardal@lemmy.world]

Wow... I never made that connection. I feel stupid AF.

My favourite are the kids excited that their mom 3D printed the save icon when she showed them a floppy disk.

Teach him how to manually specify his interrupts and to tune his extended RAM so he can play games.

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Downloading is a type of saving

[moody@lemmings.world]

Evolution doesn't really work that way though. Peppers didn't evolve spiciness to keep animals away, they essentially randomly developed a mutation that made them unpalatable to most animals, and that increased their odds of survival. It's not doing X for Y reason, it's X happening with Y as a consequence.

[sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml]

You got me there it does make sense for a tractor

[schmidtgenetics@lemmy.world]

That’s the program, the burn button ITSELF is a flaming Disc.

[schmidtgenetics@lemmy.world]

Yeah the program, but buddy said the burn BUTTON, that’s a flaming disc for a play on that pun too.

Two different icons, and OP specified the wrong one.

[stevedice@sh.itjust.works]

There's KDE software (might be a Linux-wide thing, idk) that changed it to a down arrow pointing to a rectangle. I don't like it. I really don't fucking like it.

[qaz@lemmy.world]

Those icons probably come from the default breeze dataset

[sockpuppet5@lemmy.world]

And so will the hover (unless anti-gravity).

[dev_null@lemmy.ml]

Which never happens yet everyone repeats it as if it's a common occurrence.

I like the joke, but let's not pretend this is something that happens.

[trainguyrom@reddthat.com]

I want to say the game Soviet Republic Workers and Resources uses the exact iconography I described including for cloud savings vs locally but I could be misremembering

[tomenzgg@midwest.social]

By that argument, it looks like an SD card.

I'd argue that the insanely satisfying stim toy shutter of the floppy keeps it unique, though.
