Lawsuit against the Museum of Ice Cream is why we can't have nice things

Really? How many of the tools of modern society are truly intuitive? How many are useless or dangerous unless used in an appropriate way?

Look at toothbrushes. Either you know how to use them for good hygiene, or you still move a brush up and down on your front teeth ineffectively like a 3-year-old child copying her mommy.

That didn’t happen by accident. Someone taught you how to use a toothbrush.

Now take an adult from a culture that was never taught how, and put a toothbrush in front of them. Do they have to humiliate themselves and ask “how do I do this?”, or can we give them something to read so they can learn in private?

What’s “silly” to you may be incomprehensible to someone with different skills or upbringing. If a lawsuit can fix that, is that lawsuit still silly?
