But there shouldn't be an apostrophe there... it's = it is, its = posessive.

Aaaaaaaaah! NEIN!

F/a-18 taking off from a carrier, here's the original image...

It's possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.

I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14

EDIT: found the original image

We're looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail...

Eww, zucky.

Yeah I could definitely see this for slo-mo and data recording in an actual laboratory setting that requires it to be as accurate as humanly possible. Idk if this is a standard though I'm not a scientist.

Wow... I've worked in the fast food industry for 2 years, and that really hits close to home. With the kitchen display systems and headsets, with modern technology it would be easy to implement that... very easy. We'd still need one manager on the line for de-escalating angry customers but that would end up essentially the same as the book synopsis described. And the subsequent dystopia... I could literally see this occurring tomorrow. Kinda scary.

Also works with vampires...

The "traditional" story (the one that "seems most likely" because we don't really know) is that some kids were playing with discarded warped glass at a glassmaker's shop and ended up with a magnifying glass or rudimentary telescope. Enter the simultaneous invention of the telescope in multiple places (very likely it wasn't any one person in particular), Galileo starts using it for scientific stuff, now they're making lenses on purpose. Old nearsighted lensemaker looks through it, maybe some charts or a book on the table, all of a sudden they can see well. Attach to frame. Glasses.

In heinzsight, it should've been obvious...
