Drop a hot take you almost believe.
Others can either defend it better than you did or flip it and explain why it’s wrong.
Low effort takes welcome. Serious or dumb both count.

Modern remotes are worse than the old ones. They have more buttons, more menus, but they don’t last as long and they break more often.

I think that saying implies not that birds don't exist, rather they're spy drones or some such.

Exactly, it’s like we traded simplicity and durability for features no one really uses. Progress feels a bit backwards sometimes.

I too prefer simplicity over bloat. I’ve been told once that « it’s easy to make simple things look complex, but it’s hard to make complex things look simple ».

All these years, I thought it was a bird that took a dump on my back; now I know it was a spy drone.

That quote nails it. Complexity is cheap; clarity is expensive. Real progress is when things get simpler because the hard thinking was already done.

Exactly. The bird story was the cover narrative — cheaper than admitting the sky has a budget and an agenda. The real tragedy is that the drone still missed its target.
