A kitchen towel?
What is a tea towel?
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?2·3 days agoYeah those are all pretty valid. Going cashless requires a lot more from society than just giving everyone an app.
Or like the one bar I go to is still kinda lawless haha, a PBR is $2.
lmao you should see how cheap liquor is in asia.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?2·3 days agoRegarding 2 and 3, theres a qualitative difference between the chinese government mandating corporations respect privacy and not retain or use biometric data and the US doing so (with the EU somewhere in the middle, usually), and what they have historically used that data for.
Regarding 1, in the event of a total societal collapse where not even phone towers are running, I’m not sure how much utility money would have.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?2·4 days agoCrazy that this technology still exists. Half my credit cards don’t even have raised numbers.

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?2·4 days agoSure, nothing is lower tech than locked box with a slot in it, except maybe accepting IOUs, but most businesses that handle cash today still go down if power goes out, cell service is a little more reliable though.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?21·4 days agoOh yeah, no in America or Europe, if everyone used an app to do basic functions like buying food, it would be exploited to make everything worse, no shot that it would be regulated in a way that favors the people rather than the banks.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?2·4 days agoWechat and Alipay do all that except the not keeping a record of transactions. There’s tons of food places where the entire payment system is just a printed QR code and they just tell you how much to pay so there’s nothing that can go down except the phone network and wifi.
You can also just give people money, which seems like it shouldn’t work with a credit card because it’s technically a cash advance. There’s been a dozen times where a store that requires everything go through an app so they can make you click through 3 menus advertising discounts if you buy more items wouldn’t work because I didn’t have a Chinese number or something, and the employee would put in the order, then I’d give their personal account the money.

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?3·4 days agoWhy would it be a failure? I loved never having to carry anything but a phone in China.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?31·4 days ago🇮🇳 obviously.

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyzto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Netanyahu Says It’s Antisemitic For Israeli Soldiers To Describe Their Own AtrocitiesEnglish15·9 days agoThe first pm of Israel was a genocidal terrorist. This is the status quo for states built on genocide.
He has a way with words, but only for the dumbest purposes. “This has not been touched by human hands” -Trump Describing McDonalds.
