Longest grind? Runescape? Phantasy Star 3? disgaea if you don't know what you're doing
The CNC (computer controlled cutters) metals that slide into each other so tightly that you cannot see the seam, are created using 2 separate blocks of metal, one becomes the outer block and the other becomes the inner block, then they're both polished together to appear seamless. There's no practical way (as far as I know) to make significant cuts without losing or malforming some of the material (you can cut playdough without losing any of the mass, but it's bunched up along the cut path.
My very old understanding of how materials behave
Wish I had the exact number (my brain likes to count everything), but I've done like 100 flip turns at the pool this year. Back in high school I'd do over 100 a day. I've been telling myself for a decade "this is the year I'll do flip turns every lap by x-date", of course I set off this year with the same lie. And of course I'm not doing them on every lap, but at one point I did my first in over 20 years, and then I did a couple in a row, and then I realized how much less time I have to focus on such a trivial thing, but it was the act of exercising itself that I was benefiting from, not perfectly recreating who I was half a lifetime ago.
I've kept going to the pool this year, and I've improved myself by doing that, I'm not going to be as fast or skilled or fluid as I used to be, I'm probably never going to flip turn every turn again, but I'm not going to get discouraged by not meeting my own goals that I'd set while looking in a rose tinted mirror.
Could also phrase it as "swam over 100 km (really a bit impressive amount of distance, 1.5-2.5 km per day one of two days a week) listening to the same 4"the dollop", "god awful movies" "citation needed" and "no such thing as a fish" episodes on repeat (because I kept forgetting to bring my swim headphones and their transfer cable to the same place at the same time)
What wouldn't be?
Something as simple as flipping on a device with a light switch would seen like witchcraft.
Want to know what time it is in the dark of the morning? reliable time keeping might be possible in a house, but certainly not in a bedroom, and certainly not millisecond-accurate or observable in the dark.
I think the only thing they wouldn't be impressed with is alcohol consumption, but even then we have a variety, production scale and safety level they couldn't fathom.
And the capitalist overlords will readily trot out these points and claim we live like nobility from the 1600s while sapping us of our every free moment and waking thought. Forgive my turning this political

Probably almost got me divorced numerous times, especially the days immediately following it's discovery.
