Why do we continue to make things out of glass? Doesn't this seem like a really bad idea? I mean yes, it looks fancy, but think about how often we break this stuff! If you accidentally drop a glass cup once, that's it! It's done! And now you have to spend like an hour cleaning up the shards of glass on the floor, which of course you can't see because it's clear. But you can't just leave it because then you'll get up at 2 AM to get a glass of water and end up with small spikes jammed inside your foot. Glass sucks.
And what about car windows and stuff? I mean, if that crap shatters on you, you're pretty much screwed. And since it breaks so easily with the simple application of say, a hammer, it pretty much makes stealing crap from people's cars a reasonable financial decision. Couldn't we make them out of hard, sturdy plastic? Sure, it would look atrocious, but it would be better than you look after you crash into that lamppost and get shards of glass jammed into your eye socket.
Basically, it all boils down to the fact that human beings put way more stock into aesthetics, rather than practicality. This is also the same devious problem that's behind garnish. Do you know why the Romans kicked the Greeks' asses? Because the Romans didn't care how their swords looked if they could slice someone's genitals off from three feet away.
y u strange tho
ReplyDeletePCW, the reason Romans beat the Greeks was due to their use of cavalry. The Greek phalanx was a formidable defense but very susceptible to flanking and highly immobile.
ReplyDeleteGlass is stronger than plastic. The problem with any strong plastic is not that it would look atrocious, it's because it would be opaque, which is a problem for some drivers. Properly tempered glass can be hit by a hammer without breaking, which is why cars' glass doesn't break every time someone gets in an accident. Just about every part of that post was wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat was kind of the point. It's meant to be incorrect.
ReplyDeletewow guys stop taking the post so seriously. It's not meant to be true, or to make sense. it's just meant to be funny and amusing. Unless you guys are joking by correcting him, in which case go learn how to actually make a good joke cuz that not funny at all
ReplyDeleteIt basically boils down to "If you disagree with what I said, I was kidding. If you agree, I was serious. If it was blatantly false, I was DEFINITELY kidding."
