I read this once before and it's one of those facts I find endlessly fascinating. It's simple and obvious why it wasn't normal before recent times...

It just scratches my nerd fact itch I guess.

It's right up there with

social security numbers were promised to never be used as essentially your "human number" for things and would only be used for ss benefits

And

minimum wage WAS designed and WAS intended to be a livable wage. It very specifically was proposed and made law with the point being it's the lowest wage which a person can support themselves. People saying "minimum wage isn't supposed to be livable wage!" Are wrong.

Oh and

-we see the color that is not absorbed by an object. So essentially we see every color the object ISNT.
