So I drove for the first time in almost a year, and I had a little moment when getting into my car. After starting it, I reached behind the right side of the steering wheel and grabbed for the gear shift... only to grab nothing but air. Then I looked to my left and saw the signal/windshield thingamabob and thought for a good few seconds, asking myself if that was the gear shift. I motioned with my left hand of shifting the gear and thought, "Nope." Instantly felt weird making that motion with my left hand... Finally I remembered that my gear shift is on the bottom right where the cup holders are lol! :haha:

So yeah, that was definitely a thing that happened today. :derp: :lol:

Pardon my ignorance, but they still make cars with gear shifts behind the steering wheel? I thought those were a thing of the past these days... Or is that just because I only know how to drive automatics?

We own a suv and truck from 2002/2003 respectively, so their gear shift is behind the wheel. My car was manufactured in 2013 and has the gear shift at the bottom. I just had a brain fart because I used to sometimes drive the older vehicles for any off-road stuff.

Yeah I'm not sure if I'll remember how to drive a car when I go back to the US. I haven't touched a car since in a year, I drive a motorbike over here.

They still do make manual cars, but very few people know how to drive them. I think manual cars are cheaper because of it, and are slowly being phased out.

I'm waiting for self-driving cars. :bounce:

There are like, one or two users who clearly go through and click all the eggs and hatchlings in my main tab every so often, and I'm just so confused. Why me? I generally keep things I don't want to grow out of my main tab these days so it's not a big deal, and I get free clicks for my eggs, but I'm just. Really confused.

I will admit that since I broke snaplinks I just go through and use that feature where if you click on an egg, MS shows you all the other eggs that are in the same tab as that egg and click through eggs that way.

Right, but that feature doesn't show hatchlings, and my hatchlings are getting clicked too, which is the part that particularly confuses me. Also often times I haven't posted my eggs anywhere yet.
