When websites could theoretically track me.

I keep my browser on "delete all my cookies/cache/local storage/history/everything (except bookmarks and addons, basically) every time I exit" mode. And I never log into anything without closing out of my browser entirely first to get rid of anything they could use to correlate "you visited this blog" with my specific Google (or whatever) account. When I'm done with whatever I logged in for, I close my browser entirely again.

My phone browser doesn't have a "delete everything on close" feature, so I just use the "delete all data on this app" feature liberally.

The sky, clouds, atmospheric optics, stars, satellites. People should look up more.

I'm the kind of person that knows exactly how many stucco stalactites are on the ceiling of my bedroom.

What's happening in the area, I.e. a view of the overall scenery. This vast perspective is different, and it's like looking at a live painting. When I'm on the move, such a observer perspective shrinks to few tens of meters, which kind of makes sense.

I don't think this is anything most people don't do however. I do remember places quite vividly though, and I practically never get lost. People however in the scenery, I forget in about a minute.

When the light changes from green to yellow most of my community somehow fail to notice the change in color or from what lights it's being emitted, it's baffling to me. If the intersection isn't passable you don't enter when the light is yellow, sorry to delay your trip 1 whole minute, but the gridlock you cause delays everyone's trip, and causes more assholes like yourself to block the intersection at a yellow light, and cause more gridlock.

Not blocking intersections when at a stop on a street.

Birds.

Which way the wind's blowing, if ya catch my drift...

You know when you are walking or doing stuff be it outside or indoors and you pay attention to that ceramic tile in the floor or the wall or you pay attention to that wooden veneer door or a tree or bit of paint or rust and you start noticing a pattern and you end up seeing a face?

Yeah that too

Head shape. Nose shape. I also pay attention to whether or not people have level collarbones, or collarbones that slope downward as they near the shoulders. I often notice what eye color people have. My eyes are grey, and not really a blue color. It’s really rare when I meet someone who has the same eye color as me.

The kerning between the number 1 and other numbers.

The effect of computer software on human culture, especially on cognitive development, crowd collaboration skills, methods of democracy, and economic systems. We had such a great start until ~1983: My answer to "Who invented the modern computer look and feel?" on Quora
