    Meme source: 2009 movie, Race to Witch Mountain.

    To me, who saw the original Escape to Witch Mountain in the theater in 1975, this meme is fresh.

    The movie may be that old, but that doesn't say anything about the meme.

    This meme also isn't +100 years old:

    This one is really fascinating TBH. It's like they did this after a lifetime of scrolling 9gag.

    I really understand how people with otherwise good lives get to an age where they no longer want to live forever.

    I kinda take solace in this a bit. I'm 38, got young kids, and I don't generally stop to think about my mortality but when I do it's always with the thought that I'd miss stuff, mainly related to my kids and them growing and us all being a family. But presumably the rigors of life just become life, and you get to a point where you're okay saying "Welp, that's enough!" Perhaps I'm just rationalizing my future fears or something, I dunno, but that's my hope, that I'll reach an age where I can comfortably say I think I've seen it all, or seen enough that I can go peacefully into nothingness.

    Obviously the darker alternative is that I've seen enough pain and I can't take anymore. But I am not here for that! Good feelings only!

    I still use my CD player. Especially if I've forgotten to turn bluetooth on and can't be bothering with flipping my phone out. Fiddling with a bunch of plastic and easily scratchable CDs is much better.

    I used to have the same thing, until someone broke in and stole it. Ever sense then I had burned CDs in the car. My current car has MP3 ability so I have 300 songs on a CD.

    None of my current cars have a cd player. I can only consider that a bummer through nostalgia. The cd is antiquated as portable music.

    I still use CDs, it’s a way to own the music, and it doesn’t play ads. Oh and no subscriptions

    No, I get that. I dont do it myself, but if I did, id buy the cd, rip it, and then store the cd in my home so it doesnt get all fucked up from repeated use. Classic Ipod or even usb stick didnt have a subscription.

    Word, same, I like owning the physical format. Though it feels more of a collectors thing to do now but I like listening to albums. Sort of a lost art but you can stumble on less played songs and keep growing that playlist.

    I like and appreciate the extras that physical albums bring, as well as the freedom and reliability of physical media.

    But even as an old guy that's all about connecting with the physical world and stimulating all the senses and all that, when it comes to the mechanisms of listening to music it's hard to beat FLAC albums on the Jellyfin server. It takes up so little space.

    Brilliant!! Why didn’t I have this before? I have a 2005 ‘modern classic’ that has a cd multichanger, and the glovebox has a cakebox cd stack in that could definitely migrate to this Sun visor

    Those sun visors (and pretty much any soft case or sleeve type holder) absolutely devoured CDs. I had one too, everybody did, but I only let mine eat my burned CDs (mostly mixes I crafted with cross-fades and normalized levels using foobar2000 and a pirated copy of SoundForge) and carefully curated MP3-CDs. Scratched? Who cares, I burned multiple copies to pass around and trade with friends anyway.

    One day I will find out what film this meme is from.

    Nothing hits better on a drive than a good mixed CD. Even making a playlist on your phone, which is basically the same thing, is totally not the same.

    The one thing I like about streaming music from a service like Spotify is that eventually I will find music I have forgotten about or never knew existed, and it happened organically. Unfortunately , that is a one thing CDs cannot offer.

    This is where the classic ipod was king. Shuffle All legitimately shuffled everything you had ever put on the ipod. Spotify algorithms fuck that right up -- shuffle Liked Songs is still automatically curated and serves up the same shit for months on end. That is not shuffle.

    It kinda can but not as easily.

    Back when I just downloaded everything under the sun on Napster/Limewire, I'd make highly curated CDs of known-hits as well as ones where I sprinkle in some random songs that were in my downloads that I'd never heard before. Not exactly the same, but I've definitely listened to a CD I made and been like "what's that song?! I love it!".

    Plus, for road trips, everyone would usually burn a CD or two of their own to swap in (a precursor to "pass the aux cord") so there was some novelty/variety.
