That the start menu has a search bar. You would think that everyone would know this after almost 2 decades, but too many people still navigate through their computers like it's 1998.

*Lemmings. (I was going to use that as an answer to your post, but someone learning something new never gets me even the slightest bit miffed.)

Most scam products like "power saver" plug-in modules for your home, fake ODB2 gas saver modules for cars or those little stickers for cell phones that are sold as "antenna boosters". Also, anything that is marketed as a "detox" product will piss me off.
All of those products are actively being sold on Amazon, EBay and at some other major retailers or in malls. They are openly sold because people refuse to learn that magic does not exist.
Please. Stop buying these things.
I almost prefer lemons of Lemmy 🍋
Haha, yeah, sorry about that. Came back to Lemmy last week, so I just came up with something. Almost went with "Lemmers".
The scam products also tend to get me pissed as well, it's so stupid and just downright low tbh.

Cannabis is fun and has some medical benefits, like if you're a cancer patient trying to stimulate your appetite, but it also genuinely does lower your IQ.
I don’t object to anyone using that, but:
- smoking it stinks up the whole block/park. You need to get a handle on that.
- it’s a vice, don’t pretend otherwise. Be honest with yourself.
- it does seem like a fun vice

We aren't better than most of the people in the past, we just have better systems thanks to the insane amount of hardwork people put in to make it better and easier to act more ethically (in large).
Like it never made sense that people can just imagine people in the past being inexplicably worse then ourselves today.
That's my biggest problem with the whole "burn it all down" mindset so many people espouse on this platform. If we burn down society, we aren't gonna magically have a utopia. We're still, at best, the same as folks during the so-called dark ages. Likely, we still basically tribal hunter-gatherers, and the only reason we have any semblance of modern life is because we put so much work into maintaining and improving it generation by generation.
Spelling, punctuation, and the use of contractions. The part that really sells the irritation factor is when they try to say they’re correct by making up some definition for what they said or claiming “common usage”. I guess it’s because people don’t really read much anymore. Reading someone else’s words that have been carefully edited, corrected into good sentence structure, and spellchecked can really help get it your own head.
They place the burden on the reader to decipher their made-up vocabulary. It really isn’t too awful, it’s just that people have to have read the correct way something is used yet insist on not changing.

Dandelion leaves are like crack to ducks and geese and you can use them to influence said fowl for your own nefarious purposes

There's a whole community of young men who wear thigh highs and cat ears while they game and design
That if you are not paying for a product, you are the product. If a product you love is free, and/or you use it because it's free, think of what you are paying for it with.

We should live more instead of wasting time at work but we can't because we're forced to get income to live

If the point of getting a job is so that you can eventually retire one day, and you know what you want to do when you retire, you should start doing what you want to do now while you can enjoy it.
Similarly, If you feel like the place you were born in makes you unhappy, move to a different place. There are so many places.

Fundamental attribution error. Wanting something to happen ≠ believing it should happen. When wanting becomes believing, you are fucked.
Too many people think that the world should bend the laws of reality to conform to their ideas. Gamblers are the prime example. They take something solvable by pure math and completely discard the solution, opting for a solution based on their wants instead of reality.
