Do people just save these screenshots for 6 years and then decide to randomly post them?
-
Someone saw the meme about the screenshot folder that you never look in, decided to clean theirs up, and now we get an extensive anthropology lecture on pop culture, the internet, and the human psyche.

Of course!

Why don't you have your cards stored in a password manager
-
Or just memorize your card number like I do

I had the same card number for ~15 years, then it changed for reasons I forget (same bank, and actually changed more than once). I can still remember the old number. I have no idea what the new one is.
-
And that's fine if you use only 1 or 2 cards. Past that and it gets a little much for most people.
-
Memorizing card number, CCV/CVC and expiration date for potentially multiple cards every few years is a bit too much imo. And if I memorized one digit wrong I'm fucked.

Lots of credit card entry systems are designed to resist autofill, maybe for liability reasons. I find it's worse on mobile.

Jesus, it's only 16 digits long.

Ah 2019. I remember it like it was six years ago.

I once made a cashiers head nearly explode by refusing to give her a phone number over the counter to pay cash for a shirt.
"But I need it!"
"No, you really dont."
"The system wont allow the sale without it"
"So enter a bunch of random numbers, I dont care"
"I cant do that"
"Why?"
"Because then some random person will get texts from us."
"Ok"
"So can I just..."
"Nope. I exchange money for shirt, thats how this works."
"Ummmmmm" Smoke starts pouring from ears

"why would someone burn down our store?"

Don’t forget fingerprints. And rectal striation biometrics.

Ha! I memorized those numbers years ago... I may have a problem...

The pre-modern era did not force a 40 hour work week on top of a commute, household chores and childcare to each person.
We might have far more creature comforts, but we are overall working more hours because we no longer come home with the place cleaned up, a hot meal ready, and kids taken care of thanks to unpaid spousal labor.
Everyone is working full time and the work of a stay at home parent on top of that, and with little to no community support.
The act of 'just buying something' involves a 15 minute drive somewhere and back because nothing is walkable anymore thanks to suburban sprawling and you can't do anything without spending time driving, parking, and walking endlessly in massive stores that are designed to make you get as little done in as much time as possible.

It’s just the re-invention of the mail order catalog.

Not me. Last night I was stopped from making a triple digit purchase of a product I didn't need because the Pay-by-card feature was broken (in Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium) and I wasn't about to set up a Google-Pay or a Sezzle account just to complete that transaction. That's a WIN in my book.
