Some civilizational inadequacies (besides the other obvious ones)
* most of Europe still uses manual-shifting cars
* ceramic plates & cups made of glass that break easily
* non-velcro shoes
* courses at university are not 3b1b + Q&A + extensive questions (or automated tutoring a la DARPA)
@niplav manual shifting master race
@lunarised i mean yeah i can do it as well but learning it took away 5 hours of my life that i could have used on other stuff
(and, assuming ~half of the population of urop learned to drive manual, costing 5h/person*300 mio persons*5€/h=7.5 bio. € or 1.5 bio. unskilled labor hours)
* cookie warnings (1 warning/(person*day)*5 seconds/warning*365 days/year*4 years*750 mio. persons=5475000000000 seconds (since GDPR was instituted), at 5€/hour that is 5475000000000 seconds*1 hour/(3600 seconds)*5 €/hour≅7.5 bio. €—is the benefit high enough to justify this? what *exactly* is the benefit even supposed to be?)
