What's something that's taken for granted that occasionally makes you think, wait wtf?

I don't disagree at all. I wish we had more options.
More glass with compatibility with mason jar lids would be a win for everyone. You can recycle 5them if you want, reuse them easily, and they can remain in circulation for a very long time.
The only caveat with glass is that you have too many idiots breaking them on sidewalks, bike lanes, and parks.

I mean, if I had the power of Rolls-Royce turbine engines in my arms, I could probably do it

cannsbilism
I'm guessing cannibalism. But where are you shopping?
-
I have a thick rope of muscle in my mouth that I can control accurately enough to speak with, swallow with, and dig popcorn fragments out from between my teeth with.
Just one of nature's wacky solutions that applies to more than one problem. I should be grateful it doesn't have thorns on it.

putting leeches on people
We still do that. Leeches are surprisingly useful when treating certain blood clots. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Glass is also quite heavy, increasing logistics costs for transport - but in an ideal world where everything runs off renewable energy sources and stupid people didn’t ruin things for the rest of us - glass would indeed be the ideal medium.

life and death

The difference is putting them on because you actually understand the problem you're trying to treat lol.
-
But glass is easy to sterilize at the point of purchase and refilled. There are "zero waste" stores that do something like this already, so there's nothing to bring in other than bulk product (instead of 100 cans or bottles).
Doesn't work everywhere in our current, high-profit, low-care business models.

I believe it actually prevents from loading.
You can see the error messages in the browser console how it couldnt execute. Bunch of red errors. -
I’m talking about how in this image, the upper curved line is shorter than the straight line that follows the equator:
Because the curvature of the earth is greater than the curvature of the upper line. So by taking the upper curved line, you “skip” some of the curvature of the earth.
-
A few times, yeah.
-
that line only appears straight because of the map projection being used. the one that appears curved would is actually straight on a globe. you could construct a different projection that made that straight line appear straight (though other straight lines would thereby be distorted instead). latitude lines are not straight lines, and never have been, except the equator.
-
Hmmm. Congratulations/Sorry you had to see that.
