I really hate how some things are considered a taboo to question in society...like wtf?!
I saw this article the other day. It's about stuff we use a lot that didn't exist about 40 years ago.

If you are surprised that these things didn't last a long time ago, it's true. The world from the 1970's didn't have these. If you're not surprised, then tell me more about your experience during the American Civil War or what did manna taste like.
Eh, I was only really surprised by the Chicken McNuggets to be honest.
Also, the Civil War was awful. Everyone else got to have the coolest rave in Gettysburg while I spent the whole thing in a ship trying to catch those pesky blockade runners. Most boring 4 years of my life.
The whole joke about the Civil War and manna comment was to say that if you're not surprised to see that they didn't exist back then, then you're old. And I wasn't surprised at any of this, hence why I feel old.
