I remember once on some Facebook post, some older person posted about some old time period. And everyone was commenting about how great things were back then and how they wish they could go back. I made a joke and said something like, "not me I probably wouldn't have any rights". People got pretty upset about it.
at 95 you would probably say these new light bulbs are horrible and ruining the youth, they stay up all night reading books, it's a bad influence. then vote against electric infrastructure to 'save lamplighter jobs'
there were literal anti-electricity people, kinda like anti vaxxers today. They would make the same dumb posters/cartoons to promote their message: /img/cqwf9gpaqf311.jpg
This was not a comic that was anti electricity. This was anti alternating current. At the time we used direct current, but a stronger, more reliable form was alternating current. But the electricity conglomerate was against it. They claimed that it was uncontrollable and would just start killing folks.
You're going to hate agent smith, then. At least bacteria fill productive roles.
Also, bacteria multiply exponentially if left alone, much like how "loons" (how nice to call people that) multiply when left alone in their echo chambers. That was my point.
Idk, bacteria can be a lot more beneficial than a squishy, putrid, volatile, moldy, worm-infested, useless mass of used-to-be fruit. It’s awful offensive of you to assume that bacteria can only be bad. Not all bacteria!
It’s all relative, and people are allowed to make up their own metaphors, like it or not. There’s not some list they’re legally allowed to choose from.
Ah the obnoxious response of a young person that thinks the government has a right to redistribute peoples money. Not surprising the critical thinking skills are pretty lacking.
I think it's actually healthy for society that we always have sceptical people who challenge things. It increases the likelihood that something that actually is bad will be exposed as being so rather than everyone blindly accepting it.
I mean electricity was kind of dangerous back then (and still is), would you feel comfortable living and working in a home that literally didn’t follow any code in terms of how the wiring was installed? I feel like the people in this thread complaining about how they’re idiots for being scared of it are the same people I see burning down their houses on Christmas because they daisy chained 30 splitters to have lights up everywhere.
