That people are smart.
Most people are abject morons who still believe in Iron Age mythology.
I was answering this as a dev and designer. That’s why this is more work.


Oh, then the dipshit is definitely going to try it.


For your layout preferences, colours, other UI options, states (what ‘back’ means), things like that, usually.
If you have an account, what page you were on last, your history so it can give you related items, and other ‘convenience’ features.

Hey man, I’m busy. Future Me has way more time, and they’re already angry at me, so they can deal with it.
(JK… I’m pretty good at documenting my shit now.)
I am not yet high enough for that
‘Oooohhh, future me can deal with that.’
Now I’m future me, you dick.


Fascists, Musk fanbois. That Venn diagram is nearly a circle.
