I’m fascinated by “semantic fossils” that exist in the world

I.e. where we use a phrase / word like “hot off the press”, “floppy disk icon”, “riding shotgun” or “horsepower” but we don’t use a shotgun in cars anymore, or horses for measuring power or floppy disks anymore

One day, we’re going to be on another planet, and some kid who’s never been on earth is gonna wonder why some things are still measured in 365 days

Semantic fossils connect us to our past, preserving history in language. As we evolve, they remind us of our journey and how far we've come, bridging generational gaps in our ever-changing world.
