If number of undiagnosed neurodivergent people proves to be significant portion, neurotypical means just people who won the standards war of communication protocol

We never know the number of undiagnosed, many may be just capable of pretending but suffering.

We have vehicles for all types of nature's elements except for fire

We have cars for earth, boats for water and planes for air. Nothing for fire. Not that I want to ride on fire.

The youngest generations are probably like the people of Easter Island when they were cutting down the last tree.

They know that it should be the opposite to save their island but the king and his court won’t listen to them. The king’s whole lineage cut down as much as they wanted, so he’s having a tantrum that it’s not working out the same for him. He’s doing it anyway. Entitlement can do that to a fellow.

Respect isn't earned. You receive the amount of respect you give.

Motherboards must have integrated 8bit game to play if windows gets corrupted

Regular loaves of bread have pre-slicing technology figured out, so what is it with bagels and English muffins?

Baldur Gate 3 is must be what players experience in their heads when they do DnD.

They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip

Having separate dongles for network, audio, video etc. is even worse than just having specific cables for each

The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I’m sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

You arent stuck in traffic, you are the traffic.

Graphic artists could end up spending more time on a particular piece or series if it is beautiful because of the halo effect.

Before mirrors were invented, almost no one has ever seen their own asshole

Aside from a few very still pond reflections.
