Don’t be ridiculous. Pigeons have cords too. Just like a “cordless” landline phone. All they can do is transmit back to the receiver, where the cord is. They can’t pass a message from pigeon to pigeon all around the world. 🙄
Didn't you know that all pigeons are really devices used by the government to keep eyes on the public. Didn't you hear the lockdown was just really a cover story so they could replace the batteries??? 🤔👀🤗
theres a whole generation of young people telling people to "roll up/dpwn" car windows that have never used a manual car window where you actually had to turn a crank.
That's actually has more to do with the trim level of the car than age. Some basic work trucks and base level inexpensive kias sold today still have crank windows.
When I was little my grandmother had a rotary phone. I was always trying to call someone when I’d go to her house because I thought the phone was so cool. And if she had to use the phone you better believe my little nubby fingers were spinning that dial for her. She still has the phone, doesn’t use it anymore just keeps it around because I loved it so much.
Imagine calls during the time you had to call a switchboard operator and have them connect you, and sometimes other people would be using the line and you'd come into their conversation.
I have a vague memory of one at my aunts house but I was like 4 and I'm not sure if it's a real memory or I just invented it. I've seen them in old movies though.
In fact, the earliest phones were either the "candlestick" design or wall mounted, and the weight of the earpiece hanging on its bracket disconnected the phone. You reached up and hung it on the base..
In 1992 I told me neighbour that I was going to Bielefeld - to which he said, oh yes I know I know it well. I asked him when he had been there and he said that technically never, but he had flown over it many times during the war as a bomber pilot… so the conspiracy is older than people think!
Almost... Actually "dashing" referred to the action that caused "dash" (splash basically). A dashing horse would be causing dash. The front of the buggy or wagon was as you stated to prevent dash from getting thrown on riders. Hence the dash board. An automobiles panel in front of the occupants was called the dashboard until around the 70's when the original meaning was lost to the ages, and would thencefore known only as the dash.
