That is true- in that case, my list of examples flip-flops on the topic. I believe I was able to convey my intent though.

I mean... Pharmaceutical drugs are meant for treating the ill- but are used for recreation. Genitalia are meant for procreation but we have porn. Lightbulbs were meant to light up rooms- but we have blacklights to add glow to dark rooms. Computers were not meant for gaming- but these days it's one of the main reasons people get one. Certain venoms are meant to kill/paralyze prey, but modern science has re-applied them for medical treatment.

Supposedly Nazis invented the microwave. If that is true- I don't think it was made with all the people that use it today in mind...

I heard on the news that there's been a recent uptick in drug violence involving cocaine and the "Morocco Mob" in the Netherlands- resulting in assassination attempts.

A bit off topic here, but I'm more of a physical/learn-by-doing type of learner. When neither are an option, I find analogies and paraphrasing symbolism to be the best ways to convey concepts to me.

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." -- Einstein

Still true. Sadly it seems 6 year olds are much smarter than most adults, they actually try to understand things they dont already accept as true.

BTW the actual quote is "all physical theories, their mathematical expressions apart ought to lend themselves to so simple a description 'that even a child could understand them.' "

I was thinking more along the lines of rule34 but ok- that works too.

I think this is most everyone who rides a bike- except professionals.

I added minced white onion, shreded cheese and sriracha to a tv dinner lasanga. Although it tasted better than would have otherwise- it would have been better with less onion and actually adding something with firmer texture like ground beef or fried tofu.
