Also I'll throw in a music one too: I don't know and I've never knowingly heard a single New Kids on the Block song.

So many! Never seen Ghost or The Bodyguard, for example. On the TV side, never seen any Sopranos or Babylon 5.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Look, I like Taylor Swift a lot (folklore, evermore and Midnights especially!) but maybe three of the songs on the new album are ones I might add to my rotation. How do I tell this to my Swiftie friends who love it??? (Also the songs don't seem to fit the album esthetic wtf)

Proper cleanser and a warm washcloth are the easiest/best way to get me to wash my face. It's so easy and feels so nice!

Love to tick on my chore tracking app that I've vacuumed the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom today when I've actually just pressed a button on my roomba.

I did not know Patricia Routledge had died, I thought people were just doing best of all memes or something. RIP to the queen of good memes, a thing she probably knew nothing about!
