"They knew how to make pens. They were just being jerks." This is how I feel about the entire wizarding world in Harry Potter using quills. I love them to death but they have to admit they did it for the aesthetics.

You just know it's because Muggles created pens and they refused to adopt anything Muggles created.

[@pileofgoodthings]

its like the letters, just use a fucking phone mate

[@notgoodwithnames78]

Like toilets. No, seriously, look it up. Wizards in Harry Potter apparently didn’t use toilets for the longest time and instead did their business ON THE FLOOR and just used their wands to make it go away. Who knows how the kids managed it? Did they just kind of crap on the floor and wait for an adult to come along and be like “oh, a human child or some large animal pooped here” before waving it away?

[@WebsterAnn]

You guys. The weird non-refusal of wizards to adopt technology is a reflection of magic used throughout their cultural and historical development. They didn't need to develop - all kinds of things, right, because they had magic. I think it's supposed to be kind of funny and realistic that people who have magic, and can do and create all kinds of amazing and fantastic things, couldn't be bothered to innovate on things like the pen

[@max_dotson]

If you don’t get why they use quills then you’ve obviously never used one, because once I used a quill and immediately was given a degree is philosophy. No test nothing they just hand you one for looking so smart while writing.

There's something about John Mulaney that just allows him to get away with all sorts of stuff. He can change jokes just by saying "shifting topics entirely" instead of having some clever transition and it's still somehow hilarious. It's like he has some sort of forbidden knowledge about good comedy, and he can just break all the rules and still be amazing.

This monologue was his warning us 3 months prior to everything.

So true. I don’t know if you’re a Marvel fan but Chris Hemsworth once told the story of how a Make a Wish Foundation kid came to visit the set of Thor Ragnarok and in the movie there’s a fight between Thor and the Hulk and the kid thought it would be a funny thing if Thor would say “he’s a friend from work” and Chris did just that and they kept it in the movie and has since become one of the more iconic lines in the fandom and overall just made for a very funny moment.

The constitution bit is funny to me because literally just yesterday my Civics and Econ teacher went on for *45 minutes* about how important the 3rd amendment is and I’m over here scratching my head like “and when did women get the right to vote? Oh right, the 19th!”

[@tatehildyard5332]

To be fair, we just got done chasing the Redcoats out and we were still very salty about the taxes. The vibe of the Constitutional Convention was basically, "Fuck the Redcoats... but we might as well make and iron out a few alternative policies since we're already here".

[@MaddDogg316]

Just an FYI, women had a right to vote, however, it was very circumstantial. During the initial few decades of this country's existence, land owners were the ones that had a right to vote. During this same time period, women who owned land were few and far between. The only women that owned land were widows or young girls who were heirs to estates of deceased parents. Women were married at very young ages and if they were widowed, they remarried shortly. Women who did not remarry were seen as a nuisance by the men in power and were often turned into targets of greed economically and socially. As the years went on and the population steadily rose, these situations became more prevalent. So it was enacted that voting was no longer going to be determined by the status of "land owner".

[@TheAmityElf]

(Well, white women got the right to vote in 1920; everyone else had to wait until 1965-ish.)
