@jonah I don't know if you're still collecting examples, but things have become way more efficient -- homes, electronics, appliances, vehicles, light bulbs ... all using much less energy.

@jonah i would not

@jonah Non-dairy cheese and ice cream.

@tristan @jonah Remote-working has come true. Also, the amount of available information in all areas is bigger, though it doesn't translate to more knowledge properly speaking.

@jonah You can easily talk to and get to know people from all over the world.

@jonah I don't have a bed time. Then again, I'm not sure if I had a bed time when I was 3 - I don't know when those are usually established

@jonah Doctors and researchers are finally starting to pay more attention to women’s health, e.g. new heart attack diagnosis guidance finally recognizes symptoms that occur more frequently in women, more women are able to access HRT for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. There are still many, many misogynistic predjudices and datasets in medical research and practice, but it is somewhat better than 25yr ago.

@jonah The indoor smoking ban in public places in the UK

This made a massive difference in enjoying restaurants, indoor events, public transport etc

There are so many things that were better 25 years ago but this is such a big positive change

@jonah personally, I am much happier. I didn't like being a teenager.

@jonah In terms of meeting more likeminded people, the world has become a smaller place for friendships with people from all around this neighborhood we call Earth.

@jonah I have two answers for you.

1) While there is still a long way to go, LGBTQ+ acceptance and inclusion is much more widespread now. I had no choice but to be closeted back in the day in my small, rural hometown.

2) Genetic testing is far more advanced. I’ve had a few relatives diagnosed with cancer, and they all had genetic testing to not only find out what treatments were best in some cases but also to give the rest of the family information about whether we needed to be tested for cancer-causing. genes as well.

@jonah I asked myself this question some days ago and my answer is very mastodon : we have shared bikes systems in a lot of European cities nowadays 🚲

@jonah there are so much more vegan things now
