I’m not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are “real”. Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can’t get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

Holy shit. There’s a countdown timer!? I feel like an idiot for not having noticed

That’s sick! I live my cribbage board, but would replace it for this in a heart beat

If you don’t like bananas, potatoes have a lot more potassium by both weight and calories

That’s the disease that may qualify you for financial compensation

As far as taking scifi terms for real things, at least this one is somewhat close. I’m still pissed about hover boards. And Androids are right out!

You left out my system of rude words that’s isomorphic to the real numbers

You were allowed to get register candy!?

So let’s do it like we’re bees under the light of the trees

Never tried. Apparently yes, but I sound like a child reading each word like, “yeah, that’s definitely’vested’ I’m sure!”. I doubt the next generation will except a few people.

I see your point, but I’m not sure I believe somebody could lie about it’s contents even in the distant future with how many legible copies there are.

On another note, this website exists which is super cool! https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/downloads

I find cursive is very useful when writing notes that only I will ever need to read. Reading and writing another persons cursive has never been easy for me and it has never impacted my life with one exception. I cannot read post cards from my aunt. Oh, and that time a decade ago when I had to fill out the “I will not cheat” pledge on the back of the SAT.

Turns out if you need to write something with speed we have these things that are like typewriters, but they don’t even jam!
