The absurd breed standards are a recent thing, developed in the past 100-150 years. The healthier breeds are much closer to their 19th century ancestors.

bringing my little typewriter to work with me is always fun because so many customers do a double take and go "what on earth is that" and then i get to infodump about my best friend the neo alphasmart 3000 who has seen me through many dangers

That is such a fascinating device!

Does it just store whatever you're typing on a memory device?

(cracks knuckles) okay SO! this is essentially just a portable keyboard with a screen, it has eight blank documents available to work in (you navigate between them by pressing the file keys at the top). "home" takes you to the top of the page, "end" takes you to the bottom, ctrl-w displays the word count. once you're done with a file, you connect the keyboard to your PC using a cable and press "send" and everything you've written is transferred over. it's an absolute godsend for people like me who get distracted within seconds when writing on a laptop or a phone. you can adjust the text size, but i keep it large because it stops me from going back and editing what i've written. (i'm a firm proponent of the "write now, edit later" method - my first drafts are always crap and i typically don't read through them until the whole thing is done.) also you can pour superglue into it and it still works fine which is a great quality for any electronic device

op did you pour superglue into it???

[ID: Image 1 is a photo of a device like a normal desktop computer keyboard but with a small green screen similar to a calculator screen at the top. The 9 and 0 keys look a bit wonky and have a white residue that could be super glue. Image 2 is the same device, but now the screen is on and says "This is Neo AlphaSmart 3000 propaganda :-)I". A person is giving a thumbs up in front of it. End ID]
