You better believe it...
1. IN the 1400s, a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb, hence we have 'The rule of thumb'.
2. Many years ago, in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden', and thus the word GOLF entered the English language.
3 Each King in a deck of playing cards, represents a great 'King' in history;
Spades - King David
Hearts, Charlemagne
Clubs, Alexander the Great
Diamonds, Julius Caesar
4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bedframes by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress support tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on, hence, the phrase 'Goodnight, sleep tight'.
5. It was accepted practice in Babylon 4000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son in law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the 'Honey month', which we know of today as the 'Honeymoon'.
6. Since 1966, English fans have said they are going to win the cup at the start of every football competition, hence the phrase, 'Deluded twats'.
@OrevaZSN Clean water is needed only to "charge the system". After that the same water is reused all the time like in a car radiator. It's a closed circuit...
@luv1bun When urgent, I sneak-in my older wife into men's bathrooms when she can't wait the line-up. Although very discrete, the rare men who saw her couldn't give a hoot...
@rushicrypto Every "billionaire" you'd want to eliminate would give $0.15 per person on earth.
How many 'billionaires' are there in the world? By the time you're finished, every human might have $5 each.
If you wipe billionaires out, who's gonna have money to start and finance a business?
@elonmusk Big Companies need continued growth! They are the ones pushing for immigration. Blackrock, Vanguard, Fidelity and others don't care about the destruction of the social cohesion, as long as they get additional customers, everything is great!
Our leaders are the top brass of those
@HealthRanger My robot will sow my garden and take care of the harvest
My robot will build a shed while the garden grows. No wood? My robot will make planks out of my tree!
Etc, etc... It's coming fast!
@xoaanya I agree with the other responders that nobody knows but my point of view is that if automation develops rapidly and in depth, nothing would have value anymore!
I could ask my robot to build my house, car or mining project or replicate itself.
Big business won't let it happen...
@AnnTagonist_@AndriaDont99498 And I have all kinds of friends who are retired as policemen, firefighters, AMT's and others who are doing great in retirement. Try harder!
@AnnTagonist_@AndriaDont99498 Your turn will come soon enough! You'll be treated even worse than us as you keep teaching the younger generation to spit on their elders. Your mom must be real proud....
