A new species of ant was found. What should we name them? Voldermort because Harry Potter.
i think kids also used to have a bit more shame in the past than they do now, because going to the store to play around with stuff was seen as something kinda naughty that you're not supposed to do, not #goals that are being encouraged by their social media
I don't think it's shame so much as barriers. In the real world, there was always a degree of what kids these days would call "fuck around and find out". Be it a kid that was bigger than you, or a grown up who would give you a clip around the ear. That doesn't really exist any more.
Back in the early days of camera phones there was a trend called "happy slapping" where chavs would run up behind people and hit them on the back of the head. But there was always a percentage of videos where they do it to some pro fighter or a plain clothes cop and "find out", usually with a broken arm, a broken nose, or an assault charge. Recently was a clip I saw of a kid taking food from other people's plates. No one did anything, and when one person does leave their seat and raise their voice, there's obviously some handlers/body guards/muscle stepping in to protect the kid, but the clip ends at that point. There are various prank influencers that go to far, but their victim gets hit with a jail sentence.
An obvious one I came across recently is Japanese cars older than 25 years (read up on U.S. import law, foreign vehicles can only be brought in if they're older than 25 years since the 80s'). Any half interesting car that's in their domestic market is getting exported by people who will hoard RHD vehicles as a status symbol
Maybe I'm the problem.
Joking aside, I think a lot of it is simple pragmatism. Cars made after 2008 or so are almost completely worthless. Can't be repaired without taking it to the dealer, computer gadgets that are basically locked down and unsupported, while newer cars have remote killswitches and tracking devices.
Power level, an in-law has a van. One day, the battery died, I don't know why. They changed the battery and nothing happened. A string of phone calls later, and they had to pay £250 for a man from the dealer to come around and reset the computer.
