internetsdairyRecommend telling your kids that back in the day the length of time it took to dial a phone number was proportionate to the sum of its digits
Graham Knapp@internetsdairy kind of crazy that the UK emergency number was 999 in the age of dial and cradle phones. It was fun tapping on the cradle to dial as a party trick tho
klml@graham_knapp TIL in Germany we have a word for this: Gabelschlag https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabelschlag (honorable mention @nachtigal 🙏 )
@klml @nachtigal TIL ich auch, Danke fur die neue wort also für mich auch sagt Mann jetzt Gabelschlag. "Let me Gabelschlag that for you"😀
