nobody but dog breeders care about dog breeders opinions on what constitutes a breed.

Reply to comment by bombayblue in TIL that the "Lost City of Atlantis" was invented by the philosopher Plato, as a fake enemy for Athens that lost favour of the gods and was sunk in to the sea. by PDRugby
Athens had no need for a fictional enemy. However Plato who lived in Athens DID need a fictional enemy for his fictional version of athens that was 9000 years old in his fiction. A fiction he wrote to describe what he considered to be the ideal city state.
A fiction that is only 2 pages long btw.
If you actually go read the text it's very obvious that it's plato going "a long time ago on an island far far away"

Younger gamers are already treating the games I grew up with as "golden oldies" and "timeless classics" the same way I used to treat the music from the 60's.
There are youtube channels where young guys dive into the c64 and other "antique micro computers" , expressing their wonder at this ancient archeo-tech.
feels weird, in a good way though.
