a wolf among sheep

Bought artichokes in a brand-new, first-ever supermarket in a small town in Michigan in 1989. Clerk asked us what they were, we said artichokes. Next time we bought artichokes there we got the same clerk, who remembered what they were called, but.... "So, um, how do you eat one? I peeled and peeled and there was nothing left!" We explained how to cook and eat an artichoke. This was pre-internet, just to remind you: you had to know it, find it in a library book, or ask someone.

On tumblr, you can say "don't stick a fork in that electric outlet in the wall, getting electrocuted that way is really bad for you", and people will reply with "but what if I use a knife? Is that dangerous too or am I allowed to do that?" And another one is like "op is lying it's actually 100% safe fun and cute uwu" because they live in a house with the electricity cut off. A third one goes "oh my god I had no idea I've been risking my life every single time I poke a fork at the wall. I just like the way the wallpaper feels when I puncture it. No wonder mom yells at me every time I do it! D:"

and love..........
