Brit here. It’s always been like this, at least for my whole lifetime. I remember in the 90s they were trying to get biometric ID cards going with people’s fingerprints and retina scans on them, and the government has been pretty consistent with trying to undermine encryption, harvest everyone’s metadata etc. Best I can tell, we seem to be the testing ground for any Orwellian nonsense that gets dreamed up, before it gets shipped out to the States and other places.
It just seemed less pleasant lol.
Also I guess you could interpret it two ways - one bare foot and one wet sock, or one dry sock and wet one. Neither is ideal IMO
I had a teacher who claimed that dinosaurs weren’t real. She said that people just naturally love patterns so when we find random bones we arrange them into shapes we like. Someone in the class said what about skulls that are just one bone and she ignored it lol.
That was many years ago and it’s still stuck in my memory as one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.
Oh no we’d be cool! Assuming we have the same brain, we can switch out and only work half as much. And eat half as much too I guess, but that’s probably good lol
