Graze
I had no idea there were boxes filled with delicious food you can mindlessly eat from, like a sheep in a meadow.

Ice
Her frozen lips felt odd. Days she had been looking for her herd. There’s warmth and safety in numbers. More eyes see further. The biting wind makes it hard to think. Soon sleep will come, everlasting slumber.

Repeat
In the olden days we all could still write computer programs to illustrate today’s prompt. It isn’t old, though, but retro. It was a brief period when one person could still fully grasp every aspect of their computer and create carefree.

Novel
Tell me a story, one you haven’t told me before and can be read in a book or any medium stories are told in. Make it a good story I can get lost in.

Tire
It delivers a cushioned ride after so much exhaustion that a towel was thrown.
ππ©πΌπ¨πβοΈ -
Barrel
Some people like to enter a scene unannounced for dramatic effect, to draw attention to themselves. It inevitably results in a lot of eye rolling and sighs. It all looks so natural on TV, but in real life, not so much.

Franchise
As the sole survivor of a planetary accident, you’ve gotta accessorize and establish a brand before expanding into broader ventures.

Aluminium
Very energy intensive to make, cheap enough for 500 kg on average per person per year to be consumed in foil, cans, cars, airplanes, and what not. It’s so reactive, that it forms a dull layer of oxide on its surface almost immediately, in turn pretty inert.

Leave
With all this financial brouhaha going on in my life, the urge to let go of my sanity is rising rapidly. So what to ditch and what to keep? Since I’m likely not the only one, lay-offs are inevitable. First-world problems, for certain. Why can’t that Russian idiot go?

Adjust
With the falling of the leaves I had to turn on the heat in my home. It wasn’t as carefree as in yesteryears, because fuel prices have risen spectacularly, especially of natural gas. I blame Russia.

Suspicion
Isn’t it rather odd that a well-dressed man has a third class train ticket in a first class compartment, lending money from a passenger for the surcharge? He obviously is not to be trustedβ¦

Cathode Ray Tube Display
As Adrian Black often explains on his retro computer YouTube channel, cathode ray tubes are disposables, meaning they wear with use. Either they are dim or don’t work at all, but can be revived sometimes, making Adrian exclaim with enthusiasm.

Yes Minister
A British political satire sitcom aired on BBC2 from 1980 to 1984. It follows the ministerial career of Jim Hacker in his struggle to govern in opposition of a conservative civil service, personified by permanent secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby.

There seem to be no absolutes in the world we inhabit.

Consensus
For people to agree on anything, they all first need to know what to do, why to do it, and who it’s for.

InSight
This lander-explorer is packed with instruments to probe the interior of the Red Planet.

Echo chamber of greatness
dun-dun-dun-dunnn
Thusly most remember the famous fifth symphony by Ludwig Von Beethoven. It’s part of Western culture, and it sounds through everything we do so much, we don’t even hear it anymore.

Exempt
As a home renter I wasn’t aware of the protection home owners get in certain states of the USA.
π¨πβοΈ -
Admiration
If we admit it or not, we all have our role models, people we look up to and would want to emulate to better ourselves, be it race car driver, teacher or a tech entrepreneur. Our society wouldn’t be as great as it is if we couldn’t imagine a better world.

License
Gatekeepers think that creatives need them to make precious goods, are even owed eternal gratitude and 30 percent payment of anything third parties produce. That didn’t stop some to still make their own stuff, despite rules and restrictions of the big guys.
