Guns were invented because people got sick & tired of throwing bullets at each other

The history of technological advances in warfare boil down to generation upon generation of increasing laziness. Bows? Just spears with less running. Guns? What if bows, but less ugghhh physical effort. Guns too heavy? Make em hand sized. Bombs? Can't we just have a machine drop like a million guns on the enemy? Nuclear bombs, the apex of laziness. Push a button and destroy a city. I'm sure somewhere deep in DARPA someone is coming up with a way to integrate IoT and voice commands to the nuclear arsenal so you can just use Alexa to annihilate the earth.

Bowling used to be a game of trust wherein opponents would tally scores based on which pins they claimed they could knock down in a single go using an imaginary talking orb named Jenny.

Joey Q. Rockerfella arrived on the scene--sporting his latest invention--a "hand grenade" which was essentially a cannonball with finger holes. He was able to physical topple the pins which had been static and subject to debate for over a decade. This was quite literally a game changer.

I love this story
