Things we take for granted

Its 820 AM, I'm pregaming at a bar in DIA for a 930 flight to DFW so I can eat a big fat beef rib at 1 PM. This would have been a 3 day trip 125 years ago. The speed of invention in modern times is absolutely nuts!!

AC is still the single biggest improvement we take for granted, imo .

It pays my bills, I'm quite grateful lol. But yes, most don't pay attention until it breaks.

Definitely realized this when my unit was on the fritz last fall!

Running water, hot and cold. Don't realize how much I miss it until I'm out in hunting camp, in a tent, without it.

Spare time…

 

[IDFireLass]

Hot running water. Nothing is better on hands or body. Too many PTA baths.

 

[R.K.]

Basic necessities of life and how they’ve become conveniences. Food on every corner, running hot and cold water on demand, climate controlled shelter.

Most of us don’t ever think about any of that until it breaks. AC seems to be the most common of those.

A boat that I don’t have to sail or row in flat water.

I think the folks saying running water and A/C really mean electricity. It’s the GOAT for the single biggest improvement to human life of comfort and has allowed for both of those things and too many others to list. If AI goes well it will also be responsible for that as it was the personal computer that has now become our phone.

Belly full of food.
