  • The lettera 22 I can assure you doesn't have the bump because I have one, the same goes for any other Olivetti I have.

    The most modern typewriter I can think of is the IBM wheelwriter, in the pictures I can't see any bump but I can't find pictures with high enough resolution to be sure.

  • I don't think so, unless one single brand used them and no one else for the next 40 years.

    Electric IBM typewriters from the 90s with keyboards that we would recognise today as a computer keyboard still didn't have dimples.

    I asked a friend with a bigger collection of typewriters to let me know if he notices the bumps on any of them.

  • The obsession Americans have with acronyms. Some of them can have wildly different meanings depending on the context (MTG, CP), and sometimes even in the same context can mean different things and you need further context, like video game titles (DS, GoW, AC, SC).

  • There was a river rafting company not too far from where I live that switched to carrier pigeons to deliver SD cards to home base.

    They had photographers stationed at a few points down river taking pictures of the clients, after each group had passed they put the SD card on one pigeon and it flew straight to base. By the time the clients were back to base the pictures were already printed and no one had to hurry back or rely on having good enough signal.
