I can imagine... "You, c*nt! Would you mind turning left a bit? Thanks!"
I'm surprised nobody mentioned jack plugs yet. Basically unchanged since 1877 when it was invented for phone switchboards, roughly as old as safety pins or modern hairpins (give or take a few decades)
For the uninitiated, Ikarus was a Hungarian bus factory that produced buses to the Eastern block, some of those are probably still running somewhere in Mongolia. The Ikarus 256 was produced between 1974-2002, so in the best case that thing was at least 23 years old.
But even better, someone got to travel on an Ikarus 55 on the same day (1954-1974), which used to be great in their time, but definitely weren't made for 36C summers, the lack of air conditioning combined with the sunshine roof that used to increase the feel of comfort in 1958 created a living hell for the passengers packed into that rolling museum with barely openable windows.
What I never got about this theory is, fine, you run after the Ptadgedrwgydon for 87kms, when it gives up due to exhaustion and you kill it with a stone. What now? You're 87kms away with a carcass that weighs 500kg, how do you get back the food to the tribe?
I had to read the post twice, is the arrow keys the life hack? zu the fold, }} two paragraph and 3) to jump three sentences is. And we haven't mentioned macros yet
There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient's lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes
I don't mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.
There's no fair winning against this policy

Yepp, I always wanted to have a login to a porn site verified with my ID and connected to my home address
The AdBlock arms race is still going on - would have been more precise
But it's also about the MacBook – the series sold 10 years ago had replaceable HDDs and memory units, I upgraded the disk twice in the lifetime and fixed the disk cable three of four times (they had a funny design so that you had to break the cable several times to fit its place neatly). The current laptops are sold with every component glued/soldered to place, and this is getting a trend everywhere. It probably started with phone batteries: my first phone (Ericson GA628 with an exchangeable front panel!) had a battery you could replace in two seconds, now even 2500-3000EUR laptops are considered single-use throwaway items, it's insane.
Looks like a secret fatality move
