• The “Everybody had one” caption in the thumbnail is patiently false. I think they’ve only found a few hundred of them, which means not everybody had one.

      Are you interpreting it literally? It’s a figure of speech—a kind of hyperbole; it’s just a way of implying something was common, not that literally every person had one.

      Whether it actually was common though, I don’t know. Joe here might be taking some liberties for the sake of a catchy thumbnail.

      Yeah that really bothered me. A lot of people are going to interpret that literally. I hate that sort of clickbait.
