I started using Twitter in earnest at #pycon 2008 (Twitter was small enough and techie enough that PyCon was trending over SXSW).

I started 3d-printing something related to The Expanse, and 30 minutes later Twitter suggested following one of the actors from The Expanse.
Entropy is the reason you can install the last item in a gargantuan chain of dependences and everything works, but uninstalling the first item in a gargantuan chain of dependencies results in a trash fire.

Today, for the first time in years, I checked out physical books from a physical library by handing a physical card to a physical librarian. It felt like some kind of historical reenactment.
