Posted in a thread shared by academics on another social media platform. Every now and then I see hilarious lists of reasons for death and desease in other centuries pop up online, and they always make me wonder (worry?) what we say today that will have future generations howling, too. π
*disease: TIL that my phone autocorrects the English "disease" to Spanish "desease", a reflexive case for the verb to wish / to want. Huh! Well, TMYK. π
It was a charming little typo. π
True! Since we're already looking at the uncharted absurdities of our own time in disbelief, can you even imagine what our survivors will think? π¬
Have you seen those videos where Gen Z is shown pictures or given objects from the 60s to 90s and asked to guess their function? Hilariously mortifying. The future is going to look at us with pity and bafflement in equal measure, I'm sure!
