Time is relative. A 5 year old piece of software is ancient. A 100 year old stone church is very recent. If you find a stone axe that isn’t at least 10 000 years old, you can toss it back where you found it.

Like self service checkout, but for restaurants? That’s wild!
That’s also true for many other skills. If you’ve built a house, you’ll notice all the houses that were built with skill and patience. On the other hand, you’ll also notice poor quality as well. There will be things that are invisible to others, but you just can’t unsee them.
If they live in the presence of HCl, they could also make some fun organichlorides. Those products could be simple organic solvents that damage the cell membranes. They could also be more or less toxic compounds, maybe even comparable with chemical weapons. Organic chemistry is full of options.
Takes time, effort and skill. Occasionally, you may prefer to pay someone else to take care of all that + dishes. I think the middle man is actually doing something useful, so you pay for the food and the convenience. If it was just food and nothing else, cutting him out would make a lot of sense.
You could make them capable of eating plastic, but what would the byproducts be? You would need to make sure the byproducts aren’t toxic.
How about RT, as in Robert Tronberg? People just called him by his initials, and when he chocked, they said: “RT chocked”.

Here are my privacy/security tips roughly in the order of importance.
Unique password that have upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters. Also, most passwords are at least 16 characters long.
NextDNS on my mobile devices for ad blocking and privacy.
Linux on my laptop + Firefox and uBock Origin.
No Whatsapp, or Telegram. I prefer to use Signal. If someone insists on using some spyware messenger, I’ll just SMS them.
No Meta, Xitter or other major platforms allowed. When using social media, I don’t share anything too personal. Also, no photos of me or anyone I know.
Wow, I’ve never had any issues with USB ports on any of my phones. Which one of us is the outlier? Do you ram the cable in too hard? Do you bend the connector in weird ways?
There are also lots of smaller video platforms built by youtubers. They publish advertiser friendly (censored) videos on YT, but put the real versions on their own platform. This way, fans can support their favorite channels, and get to see videos that are too cool for YT.

If it’s someone I haven’t seen in years, talking about the big picture should be interesting enough. You know, like where I live, what do I do for a living etc.
If it’s someone who definitely knows all that, I can mention something small but recent. Like, I just bought some weird carrot salsa, and it was surprisingly good.
