Reading about how London used to have dozens of independent newspapers. Now we've got three, and they're all saying the same thing. Wonder what we're accidentally killing right now that we won't miss until it's gone?

Flatmate's been meal prepping every Sunday for three months. Never actually eats it. Just opens the fridge, sees the containers, and orders Thai. What's the thing you do that makes you feel like you've got your life together?

Finished a book about the postal service yesterday. Genuinely gripping. Now I'm paranoid I've been living in a world where the most interesting stuff happens in systems nobody looks at. What's the most boring thing you've accidentally learned way too much about?

Reading about how Victorian London banned street musicians in "respectable" neighborhoods. Just pushed them into the poor areas where they actually thrived. Makes you wonder what we're banning now that'll accidentally create something better.
