I would still rather recieve a physical hand written card in the mail.
Some these aren't broken and don't need to be fixed. Waiting for the mailman is a feature not a bug.
(And let's be real here, most scientists suggested a wildly different approach to solving climate change. This smells more like the behavior of capital than science.)
Sorry, the natural state sucked. It was without antibiotics. A tooth infection could kill you. Women were abused by men since they were in general smaller and weaker in a system that placed a premium on physical prowess. Childbirth was painful with high infant and maternal mortality.
No thanks.
We need a massive amount of technology to support our population of hat we have now. And we have to innovate ourselves out of this situation.

These facts aren't revealed often because there's no corporation that benefits from marketing it, there's nothing to sell, only bad technologies to opt out of.
Then 'im' is read flat and not like 'ià'.
Of course 'bo' is quite like 'bāo', but that's your 'ish'.
I've noticed Chinese are very loose with their puns, and it helps that there is a lot of regional dialect variation in pronunciation.
For example a common one is 520 (wu er ling) being used for "wo ai ni" (I love you)

Checking for allergens has a cost! Who is supposed to pay?
If you want the general public to pay for it, then mandate that every bakery certifies the amount of allergen in their bread: all the bread will cost more and the allergic people will be able to choose safely.
Otherwise, what else would you expect? Bakeries run their calculations and saw that certified sesame-free bread would cost too much for their customer base to keep buying from them, and opening a separate production line is not warranted by the predicted demand. What else could they do to stay in business?
