I’ve been reading up about internet usage in North Korea. We all have our hobbies). I’m thinking of starting a Facebook page called 'Kimmy John-un’s TicToc addiction is ruining people's lives and communism doesn't help either', and I wanted to know whether my disparaging remarks regarding the little sociopathic nutjob would put my life at risk. Turns out it very possibly could.
According to Wikipedia, which can occasionally be more trustworthy that you think, hardly any communists in North Korea have access to Google but the ones who do spend their days surfing the net are high level government officials. Henchmen. And I don't want to be number 8,098 on their torture machine bucket list.
Plus, randomly, do they even have calculators in North Korea? Kimmy J-u is screwed up enough to ban the kiddies from using a contraption to solve math shit. If Johnny has 6 apples and Susie has 3 apples then they're probably going to jail for stealing from the state-owned orchard anyway.
Would anyone like to know the story of the history of calculators? I see someone at the back has their hand up. Here we go then. Once upon a time, someone invented a calculator. The End. This is a blog; I don't got no time for the history of a device that solves basic and complex math shit, friends.
Although I imagine the person who first operated such a machine was a bit like me - hated math. Lots. When faced with a math equation of considerable proportion, or just an easy one, his brain likely threw up a gigantic anti-algebratic wall, as if to protect itself from the horrors of the apocalyptic nightmare that is any arithmetic problem that has the alphabet in it. Because that's what menial silver-collar calculators are for. Calculators live for this shit.
