Fuck AI and all, but to be faaaiiiiir, if you take away most people's computers they would be far less efficient than someone that did the same job without one 50 years ago.

In the profession I recently retired from, if they suddenly went back 50 years in tech the global economy would crash, and even a 20-30 year regression in tech would seriously fuck things up until people adjusted. And even then they wouldn't be able to reach the same levels of efficiency.

They went through all that trouble and didn't get taxidermied bear claws or something else to approximate what the damage would look like. They used some sort of kitchen tool or something and all the "claw marks" are equally spaced and start and stop at the same place.

Yeah, I don't think that's common knowledge. I never knew it was called that until I got into my profession. And I think it's only called that there because it's been around since before "forward slash" entered the vernacular.

There are probably some similar circumstances, but almost everyone calls it "forward slash."

In French. In English a virgule is a forward slash.
