     Y’all, that’s nothing. Have you been to Seattle? They make poles out of a composite of flyer and staple there.

     It's the pole of Theseus, There's no original pole under the staples. It's all metal and rust now.

     @SidFudd @tdriley @pluralistic Careful! On some of those poles, they're now load-bearing staples.

     @tdriley @pluralistic Someday the timing will be exactly right for me to stand at the corner of some urban intersection with a pair of pliers and very carefully remove EVERY STAPLE from a telephone pole. It won't just be OCD. It'll be useful work! 😅

     @pluralistic I love the texture of all the rusty metal staples left all over the post from years of posters.

     @pluralistic @indianaj989 I remember reading a book about Industrial History written ca. 1890. The writer opined about the difficulty of getting workers to the factory on time “for those were the days of the spontaneous street dance”.

     My life hasn’t been the same since I read that.

     @pluralistic this is a really good YouTube video on how clocks have made our lives extremely rigid and it is quite sad

     This is exactly why I have been saying for years that as soon as my son graduates HS, I will be going to a solar day. Getting up by the sun, no work after dark.
     Only one more school year to go after this!

     And in colonized territories, it started with the missionary's bell.

     Clocks and bells were a critical part of bending people's lives to clock time (as opposed to natural time)

     It all starts with what I call "the tyranny of the school bell" - and then it never lets up till you retire or die (whichever comes first).
