CRT Nostalgia Makes No Sense

crt nostalgia is really funny to me because it makes total sense why everyone switched to lcd flat panel screens as soon as the tech came along cathode ray tube televisions are full of lead (because otherwise they would give you turbo cancer), they weigh One William pounds (because they are full of lead), it’s very hard to make them big (because they need to contain a vacuum to work), if you break the glass they Frigging Explode (because they contain a vacuum), and if you poke the wrong thing inside them (even when turned off) you will be electrocuted by hundreds of volts. clearly this is superior to the 50 inch 4k flatscreen i can pick up brand spankin new at best buy for a cool two hundo bucks because it makes me feel like christmas in 1998

Два сообщения высмеивают ностальгию по кинескопным телевизорам. Во втором посте перечисляются опасности и неудобства CRT — свинец, огромный вес, вакуум, риск взрыва и поражения током, — а затем всё это саркастически объявляется лучше дешёвого современного 4K-телевизора, потому что вызывает ощущение Рождества 1998 года. EN: Two posts mock nostalgia for CRT televisions. The second post lists the dangers and inconveniences of CRTs—lead, enormous weight, vacuum, explosion risk, and electric shock—then sarcastically declares all of that superior to an inexpensive modern 4K television because it feels like Christmas in 1998.
