I definitely had a translucent tape player and clock radio in 1995.

fun followup of the day: a "factoid" is something that isn't true, but is presented as being true. go ahead, look it up!

Microplastics are stored in the balls.

Interesting. I might research that on the toilet tonight, or just drop the word factoid from my vocabulary.

Regardless, clowns still have to go to college, while politicians do not. Fun fact of the day!

i wrote it on the toilet before bed, so that seems apt.

Technology design peaked here:

I guess it's very much a matter of taste.

Ten years or so earlier, you could still get a TV where the sides of the case were made of wood. Wood, metal and black plastic throughout. Physical buttons that went 'clunk', a physical slider to adjust the volume, a metal dial for tuning.

To me, that was peak design.

We were all tempted. It's okay.

It was just a nibble!

Pretty sure it was actually that transparent phone everyone had in the 90s.

Never forget what they took from us

[clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Translucent products had been around for a decade prior to those iMacs. If anything, they marked the beginning of the end for the trend.

You're a fan of the half-transparent aesthetic? I'm not.

Literally just got a semi-transparent Xbox controller. My kid loves looking at the rumble motor moving inside.
