Reply to comment by hertzzogg in New harvester amplifies electric power generated from human walking motion by about 90 times. Since the power generation performance can be improved without increasing the device size, the technology is expected to generate power to drive small wearable devices from non-steady vibrations by Wagamaga
Mechanical watches are still very much a thing.
I am sure you have heard of Rolex?
I guess that most people don't realize that the vast majority of nice watches still function in exactly this way. Sorry for upsetting you all by bringing it up.

Reply to comment by AngerGuides in Newly discovered “social fluid” unites ants across developmental stages into one, colony-wide superorganism. The study, published in Nature, describes how larvae rely on the fluid to grow and how, if they fail to drink it, intermediate-stage pupae die before reaching adulthood. by brokeglass
That or they are not colonies but cults.

Reply to comment by amateurneuron in Customs agents have a device where you put a substance on a small metal plate and it tells you exactly what it is (like cocaine etc). How does this work and how accurate is it? by Weird-Vagina-Beard
It would be able to say with fair certainty that it is not a known explosive or drug due to wavelengths that are missing though in the case of unknown items.

And unless you get up really weird or die in the chair, you will eventually do the other half of that squat.

Then I would have had to explain watches even further to people that obviously don't understand them because I couldn't just say "the vast majority".
With those seikos costing a few hundred dollars to start, most people that don't know mechanical watches wind themselves would see them as nice watches.
