Please curse me with knowledge. I’m ready
WHAT IS LEARNED CAN NEVER BE UNLEARNED.
THIS IS YOUR CURSE FOR USING THE FIRE PROMETHEUS STOLE FROM THE GODS.

That is the wrong facial expression. That man would be laughing his ASS off. Like ribs hurting, can’t breath laughing.
Who the hell has a counter-clockwise corkscrew!?
Good catch! I had to stare at it for a minute picturing myself spinning it into a cork and it does feel like it goes the wrong way. (Not righty righty).
You need these now on account of wine bottles evolving that maze-like cork.
The Curse of Knowledge actually relates to educated people trying to communicate with people under the assumption that everyone knows as much as they do, forgetting that the average person might not be as educated
I actually try to talk to folks to the level of their knowledge. I had a debate with some coworkers about vaccines. I explained to them that it’s safe, thousands of studies proved they are, I also mentioned vaccines are produced just like any medicine. And yet people take paracetamol willy nilly without question but somehow treat vaccines differently; even though overusing paracetamol could lead to hearing loss as happened to my dad.
However, I admit that what got me is the mRNA vaccine technology when a colleague said there has been no human trial of it before. The technology has actually been developed for over 40 years but with strong proof of concept. But I find it hard to explain that to laypeople.
