IMO, grass-fed butter does taste better. And yet... I do wonder how much of the difference is thanks to the visual contrast ("oh wow, that is very yellow") unseating/loosening our anchored expectation & paving the way for us to taste it anew.

I went backpacking this summer and forgot to tell anyone about it.

@LNKScanner Holy bots in the comments. Makes sense I suppose.

[Ben Danielson @BensCuriosity]

why can't I tweet with the same text effects I use on my iphone?

[Ben Danielson @BensCuriosity]

not that the text effects in iMessage have a great ux by the way -- but the fact that the option is there!

@visakanv @taotechic When my wife and I started communicating better, my writing got worse.

@jonnym1ller It turns high effort things into low effort things. And value follows just far enough behind to create a vacuum and pull humanity forward.

I could spend ten years living inside of 10 seconds and not get bored.

@michelleakin Trying to manifest the Mandela effect onto this scene like some sort of 21st century witchcraft.
