Trump says it was 'my decision' to try to overturn 2020 election results | CNN Politics

In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past reveal how superb the phrasing used to be. The ordinary spoken language has also steadily coarsened. People used to say "raise the carriage shafts" "raise it" or "trim it."When they should say, "Let the men of the palace staff stand forth!" they say, "Torches! Let's have some light!" Instead of calling the place where the lectures on the Sutra of the Golden Light are delivered before the emperor "the Hall of the Imperial Lecture," they shorten it to "the Lecture Hal", a deplorable corruption, an old gentleman complained.

I dunno man, my TikTok algorithm is about the wokest, most informative news feed amongst them all.
Sometimes they try something new, and I have to train the algorithm a little again, but nothing too annoying.

How come rust built up on iron things looks like a thick crust, but somehow when it's removed it's like there's nothing gone from the original?

Thank you for your answer. I guess I could've done some more research myself, but I was also interested if I wasn't the only one who wondered about it.
I keep getting these videos on TikTok where someone finds an old axe, completely caked in thick layers of rust, and at the end of their magic you can sometimes even see the stamp of the original maker. Truly baffling.
