The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
Those cars that don't have the flecks in the paint look like children's toys.

Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years 😅:

Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
Cars have made the world a worse place.

I miss the era when the web was just this

Handkerchiefs are the bomb. I carry one everywhere I go (when I don't forget 🥲). Really feel like they could make a comeback with the right marketing.

Go pick up a heap at your local hospice shop. I've gotten a lot of mine there and made a few more out of scrap fabric. I use old flannelette cotton sheets for our spill rags.

Those cars that don’t have the flecks in the paint look like children’s toys.

Finally I can out my finger on what bothers me about them

Actually, why do so many modern cars straight up look like oversized toys?

Electric cars are the worst for this IMO. Aside from the Tesla model 3, Nissan leaf and a handful of other ones... everything else looks like an oversized replica remote control toy to me. Some are nice, like the VW minivan, but most look like cheap wannabes. I can't quite put my finger on it

I always bring half a dozen hankies with me camping. They're so useful on a limited inventory. They help you grab hot things. As napkins. Allergies. Wounds. Cleaning knives. Storing spare fish hooks/lures i.e. pocket tackle. I handwash them in the river and they sun dry quiet quickly.

Love hankies. I miss the old web too.
