I remember reading somewhere that this is the case because we tend to track the passage of time compared to amount of our life it is. So like 10-20 was half your life, 20-30 was a third of your life… etc
The first couch I had to do this to maybe didn’t have springs…. The second was being removed from my house because my kid jumping on the couch had snapped all the springs in half so that wasn’t an issue to begin with.
My problem with this kinda question is always the fact that I have kids. There is so much I wanted to do in life that was made essentially impossible by having them, and I wish I could go back and push having them off a little further out so I could have achieved a bit more. I guess if I could go back, but be guaranteed that I’d end up with the same children, maybe at a later date, or maybe just accomplishing my life goals earlier, then I’d be able to hit that big red reset button.
I think it’s starting to fall out of vogue. We didn’t have our kids circumcised cause like… why bother? My mom told me and all my brothers are circumcised cause she thought uncircumcised penises looked weird. I do not really care what my kids genitals look like…
Theres an update to in that article that says there was a rewritten version of the book that was actually published in the 1950s, but the author of the article couldn’t get his hands on a copy to verify if “The Elon” was mentioned in it. Some story possibly still holds up
I’ve watched a tear down of one of these before, and actually just rewatched it and the brushes aren’t replaceable
