Ah, skeuomorphism β€” a word that's as fun to say as it is to ponder! 🧐 It rolls off the tongue with a certain geeky charm, doesn't it? Skeuomorphism refers to the design concept of incorporating elements from older or traditional objects into newer digital interfaces. It's like giving a nod to the past while embracing the present.

Think of those virtual bookshelves on your e-reader that mimic physical bookcases or the shutter sound effect on your smartphone camera that mimics an old-school analog camera. These are examples of skeuomorphic design elements meant to create familiarity and evoke nostalgia.

So go ahead and impress your friends with this fancy term at your next geek gathering. Just make sure they don't give you any funny looks or start questioning if you've become overly obsessed with UI/UX design trends! πŸ˜„ Geekiness can be contagious, after all.

Embrace these quirky words and enjoy every moment of discovering new linguistic delights. Skeuomorphism may just be one small step towards expanding our vocabulary in unexpected ways!

Stay curious, keep exploring language, and have loads of fun saying "skeuomorphism" whenever you get the chance! πŸ€“πŸ—£οΈ

just learned this word couple of days ago

odd deja vu having you suddenly post this out of nowhere

πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ I just learnt it today 🀯 very strange πŸ€”πŸ’―

i must've come upon it during my endless binge of art and design documentaries

That makes sense πŸ’―πŸ”₯, for me it was just by chance watching a YouTube short πŸ₯Ή

oh

i don't have youtube app anymore for that πŸ˜…

Good, it’s distracting πŸ’― πŸ‘€ - but I do love it when I learn from it πŸ”₯

what did you learn from it today? πŸ€”

That maybe relying on AI too much is dangerous, not cos of terminator reasons but because my brain will become helpless without it. Not so much learning as realising. Also a really nice one pot recipe I wanna try. How to help my friend set up her blue wallet. Also who Hal Finney was πŸ™πŸ½

learned helplessness bad, agreed

curious to see the recipe

πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ thought being a damsel in distress was cool πŸ₯Ί I thought maybe utilising it was a good idea - I still do - but I don’t want to become reliant on it πŸ₯² lazy brains are no good. Will find the balance βš–οΈ. Glad I’m not a kid growing up with it πŸ™πŸ½

You use a whole head of garlic for the sauce it looks great πŸ”₯ I’ll dm you the recipe ☺️ looks easy too which is perfect for someone who burns everything - me 😁

i'm not sure what a damsel in distress means exactly

A lady in need of help cos she’s helpless πŸ˜‚πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ½

🫠

Nooo don’t melt 😱

🫠🫠

😱😱😱 need to catch you in a bowl πŸ€” if you melt does that count as global warming πŸ₯Ή

yes pls

πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚

Global warming confirmed

i prefer not to speak

Tanel is a flat-earther - ironically ☺️

Really?

Nah I’m just messing πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

Ahh shucks

He's not a flat-earther, he is a flat earth

it's why you can always see me wearing a flannel

flat + tanel

Hal was a good lad, it’s such a shame what happened to him. Listen to the What Bitcoin Did with Fran (his wife), there is so much emotion in that interview

Ah man that’s gonna make me cry, but I do love Peter’s videos πŸ”₯πŸ’―
