Keep. I miss the days when gift cards were digital and free. Any remaining free services are relics of the past, and the good ones around now want you to pay for the service. And you may be paying for a greater experience, but at this point, normal gift cards are cheaper and still work fine. (For as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!) 

You can still use digital gift cards, but they usually go to digital purchases like digital video games.

 

Keep! I use those a lot at work and home.

Parking garages?

Keep, because without parking garages, you'd have nowhere to park your car.

Toaster ovens?

While I don't use them, I know plenty of people who do. Keep.

Houses made of bricks.

[ExplosionMare 26,019]

Keep, since most houses where I live are made out of bricks.

Dresses?

[KPackratt 1,234]

Keep, because what else would you wear on special occasions?

Car radios?

[Samurai Equine 56,839]

If wifi was universally free, I'd say scrap. But since we don't all have, I'll say keep. When you have no other options left, radio isn't bad.

The multiple types of rice?

[ExplosionMare 26,019]

Keep, cause I like all those!

Multiple types of chocolate?

[KPackratt 1,234]

Keep, since I like various types of chocolate and it's nice to have options.

Self-driving vehicles?

[Samurai Equine 56,839]

Wouldn't say scrap, just hold off until the technology is perfect. 

Hammers?

[ExplosionMare 26,019]

Keep, construction workers still need those.

NFTs?

Scrap!

The word “yeet”?

[KPackratt 1,234]

Scrap, as it's kinda annoying at times.

Gaming laptops?

[Samurai Equine 56,839]

I'll say keep since I know nothing about them. 

Text books?

[ExplosionMare 26,019]

Scrap. People should be able to look up scholarly articles for free, instead.

Self checkouts?

[DubWolf 19,953]

Keep :V . You at least have someone there to monitor if everything is working out right. Usually many people.

AI as it is now?

[Samurai Equine 56,839]

Scrap. I have many thoughts on generative AI as it is, but since we're not here to have a discussion, it's easier to say scrap.

Voice changers?

[ExplosionMare 26,019]

Scrap. Just seems like something to use to be sneaky.

Food delivery robots?

[Avery 1,238]

Scrap.

Keep.

Food delivery services?

[Avery 1,238]

Keep

 

Monday?

[Samurai Equine 56,839]

Keep. I don't have a problem with any specific day; I have a problem with a lack of off-time and a lack of vacation time.

Those multicolor ink pens that allow you to switch between colors?
