The issue for a long time was that there is no markdown standard, so everyone had their own version of it.

CommonMark is gaining ground, so hopefully markdown will be the same everywhere soon

Japan doesn't have paper towels or air dryers in their bathrooms.

Why?

Because everyone carries a handkerchief to dry their hands. They even sell them at airports when you land.

I've been trying to bring back the handkerchief in the States, but not as many places sell them

Yes, it's intentional. It represents the difficulty in keeping one's balance. For reference, check squat toilets:

Nah, they'd still be extinct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon#Hunting

After being opened up to the railroads, the town of Plattsburgh, New York, is estimated to have shipped 1.8 million pigeons to larger cities in 1851 alone at a price of 31 to 56 cents a dozen. By the late 19th century, the trade of passenger pigeons had become commercialized

Even if adjusted for inflation, 31 cents a dozen doesn't sound like a lot, but then market saturation happened and your prediction came to pass:

The price of a barrel full of pigeons dropped to below fifty cents, due to overstocked markets. Passenger pigeons were instead kept alive so their meat would be fresh when the birds were killed, and sold once their market value had increased again. Thousands of birds were kept in large pens, though the bad conditions led many to die from lack of food and water, and by fretting (gnawing) themselves; many rotted away before they could be sold.

Those who don't learn from the past are something something

Some of us aren't exactly desirable and I refuse to marry someone for purely financial reasons, I want to, you know, actually love the person I marry...

Sadly, some are:

So it came as no surprise when a new study by CIA Landlord recently revealed that Tinder users who specify that they own a property in their profile receive 57% more matches than those who don’t.

🎶Not because I own property🎶

🎶Or because I'm such a hottie🎶

The way parents can stop this is by asking the school whether they had a license from Disney to show the movie.

The permission slips are just proof they showed the movie to a large group of people (most likely without a license, because what school has a budget for that?)

Oh, y'all still have wait staff?

We have "digital kitchens" now: https://stories.whataburger.com/whataburger-debuts-new-digital-kitchen-all-the-flavor-with-more-convenience/

Same wait without the staff, tables . . . or blackjack

Saw a recent video from America's Test Kitchen where they recommend temping baked potatoes and docking the skins: https://piped.video/watch?v=iG7wEqs9j4E

In the comments, someone said they had potatoes explode after baking, letting them cool for a bit, then re-baking.

Personally, I don't usually bake enough potatoes to justify turning on the oven, so I microwave them; which is notorious for for getting food everywhere without adequate supervision.
