What's something you wish would "come back" but you feel like you're the only one that cares? (lemmy.world)

Couple of things for me.

One is tiny croutons. I don't see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it's kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too.

Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that's tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.

Frutiger Aero design

The modern trend for flatness and shape-y icons and such was cool for a bit, but I'm officially tired of it.

I'm just about ready to go back to skeuomorphic pre-rendered 3D models as icons and gradients & textures & transparencies everywhere

Especially since computers have only gotten better at drawing this stuff. A modern PC would be able to render the "Impossible" looks of those old Windows Longhorn Concept Videos without breaking a sweat.

Also -- FUCKING BEZELS.

The current trend with -- Mobile devices in general. Phones and Tablets, is to have the entire front of the device be screen. To the point that people hiss at seeing even the little dot for the front camera (or the notch, w/e)

I find this tremendously stupid, leaves you with far less ways and places to grip your phone, and makes the "I was using my phone in bed and dropped it straight into my nose" scenario straight up inevitable, since you can't grip the thing tightly without accidentally activating something on the touch sensitive screen. Just give me a border of plastic that I'm safe to put my fingers on, dammit.
