They basically skipped cards and moved from cash to app transfers. QR code is a natural extension of the app to make contactless payments accessible.

I bet I could come up with some contenders… I won’t though, because I hate that M$ controls the major open-source repository.

It was a Bored Ape event "ApeFest’ in November. They used harmful UV bulbs instead of regular black light for decoration.

Homeopathy was developed and thriving in an era when “do nothing” was better for the patient than contemporary accepted treatments.

How’s that ruined? That’s epic!

I know it’s not a good advice, but having something very serious happen in your life might shift your perspective. In my case, getting (through) cancer made me realize it’s not worth stressing for stupid little things and greatly deepened my stoicism.
