- That there is a light bulb in California that has been turned on since 1901 and as of writing this is still working? This shows that [old](old.md) things are better than those manufactured under more advanced [capitalism](capitalism.md) which pushes for more [consumerism](consumerism.md) and applies [artificial obsolescence](artificial_obscolescence.md). Many sowing machines made mode than 100 years ago still function perfectly fine as well as many other types of machines; anything created nowadays shouldn't be expected to last longer than 3 years.
- That there exist [numbers](number.md) that are not [computable](computability.md) or are otherwise [unknowable](knowability.md)? See e.g. Chaitin's constant.
- That throughout [history](history.md) one of the most common patterns is appearance of new lucrative technology or trend which is labeled safe by [science](soyence.md), then officially recommended, promoted, adopted by the industry and heavily utilized for many years to decades before being found harmful, which is almost always greatly delayed by the industry trying to hide this fact? This was the case e.g. with [asbestos](asbestos.md), [freons](freon.md) (responsible for ozone layer depletion), [x rays](x_ray.md), radioactive paint (see *radium girls*), lobotomy (which even generated a Nobel Prize), some food preservatives, [plastics](plastic.md), smoking, car emissions and great many prescription drugs among which used to be even cocaine. Despite corporations denying it, there even appears evidence that cell phone radiation causes cancer (e.g. *Meta-analysis of long-term mobile phone use and the association with brain tumors*, 2008, even International Agency for Research on Cancer now holds that phones may pose such danger). Yet when you question safety of a new lucrative invention, such as [5G](5g.md), antidepressants or some quickly developed lucrative [vaccines](vax.md), you are labeled insane.
- That the [dickheads](faggot.md) maintaining the debian `fortune` utility package started to [censor](censorship.md) "offensive" fortunes, moving them to a separate `fortunes-off` package that won't by default be installed, and which in the future will be removed completely? They also put some cringe disclaimers and apologies to man pages and so on.
- That curved monitors are bad.

- That [Kinora](kinora.md), invented around 1895, allowed people to view short videos with a simple, small, purely mechanical device? It used the flip-book principle.
