For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I like this so much. I don't know why but seeing technologies from different eras combined like this is like drugs to me.
I do too. One of my favorites was seeing someone playing fallout (don't remember which one. 3?) on an era appropriate TV.
I personally enjoy this stuff a lot because I'm someone who doesn't like to get rid of any tech. I still have all my old phones, consoles, TVs (I still frequently use a 720p plasma). I like seeing old stuff get repurposed and continuing to work.
There’s not really a great word for it either. Vaporwave became a “cope” for like technology out of time. Apparently this is a nickname for the trope but I don’t like it: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchizoTech. Schizo tech to me is just literally doomscrolling TikTok while ignoring everything around you
