Oh yeah I got my inches wrong 🤦‍♂️

3.5" floppy (left). Those badboys actually were floppy. Not sure about the other.

I remember my parents planning long journeys using some piece of software (AA branded I think) that would print out all your turns, intersections and distance between them (in the late 90s).

In the mid 00s when I needed to navigate myself, I would plan it out on a map (Melways crew rise up!) and write myself prompts on paper in big writing with arrows so I could glance at it while driving.

Basically exactly like modern sat nav but without the live traffic.

Real talk: is this a legit sign of adhd (ie if you relate to this should you start gathering evidence from other data points?) My wife and majority of my friends from my 20s have been diagnosed in the last few years as adults, as well as my elder daughter (and the younger one literally can’t hear if she’s reading, so i have my suspicions…)

And then this is literally me irl…

Maybe I’m not perfect, but I think it starts to get into the idea that the distinction between plants and animals isn’t as clear cut as people imagine it’s well worth it in the long run.

Up until ‘imagine’, I think this was just word for word from another comment i made on lemmy before. Weird app-specific autocorrect?
