People who back into parking spots: Why?

The steering axle is in the front. So if you back into a parking space, you turn around your back axle. This makes the alignment considerably easier, especially for tight parking spaces or crowded parking lots. If you wanted to park front first in that situation, you would have to correct several times because the turning radius is too big to get the car straight in front of the spot in one swoop.

THANK YOU! It has become a pet peeve of mine. I think it's supposed to reference "no one asked". But if that's the case, the meme should be

Nobody: "Hey I'd really like every music video to be shot with a fish-eye lens".

or

Everyone:

It doesn't make sense.

OLED displays certainly could, but there is no baked it app that wakes up the screen only if you have a message, blink in different colors or frequencies depending on the message and use the low power always on display api.

Yeah, you can glance at your always on display and make out the little symbol. But that's not an adequate replacement to the notification LED. If I had to guess, it was removed to drive up engagement with your phone.

Ich fahre jeden Tag über eine Autobahnüberführung zur Arbeit (und wieder zurück). Durchgezogene Linie, Gegenverkehr nicht einsehbar.

Ich werde so gut wie täglich an dieser Stelle eng überholt und es war schon so oft dermaßen knapp, dass ich schon überlege, einen Youtube Kanal für kleine gopro Videos zu erstellen.

A big one for me is Youtube Revanced. It has become invaluable for me as it is actually better than Youtube Premium because of the SponsorBlock integration. I'm also able to still be logged in and have access to my "watch later" list and feed. Both of these things can also be achieved by Firefox with full extensions support on Android, but the App's usability is higher and supports 60FPS video out of the box, unlike the Firefox solution.
