I drove a Tiger Tank and it was stopped by a small picket fence.
The French could’ve saved so much money on the Maginot line, and could’ve had a very nice garden-like aesthetic if only they had known the potential of the small, white picket fence
What amazes me is that we pretty much are converting, just very slowly, one thing at a time. In school we all learn the metric system, and it’s used all over in industry and government. At the supermarket, everything is labeled in both systems, and some things have started trending towards metric as the default. We are all used to the 2L bottle size. The old fifth of a gallon bottle, though some still call it that, has been replaced by the 750ml bottle. More recently the 20oz bottle has been phased into the .5L, mainly–I’m sure–to shrink the amount while keeping prices the same, but still it’s progress in this regard.
I think the transformation will be effectively complete when highway signs use kilometers. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.
I’ve known a guy making predictions using astrology. Then his predictions completely missed COVID, only one of the biggest disruptions in our lives, and never talked about astrology again.
Astrology is so complex, there’s always a way to give yourself an out. “Oh, I see why that one was wrong! I forgot to factor in the Perseid meteor shower.”
One time I told this girl I’ve known for a long time that my birthday was in June and she said “wait your a cancer? that explains so much” and I really wanted to say “really, so what explains why you’re such a bitch” unfortunately I was surrounded by a bunch of kids at the time so my rebuttal had to go missed
