Call me crazy
but when I was a kid
45 degrees was a real thing
with real conditions
and circumstances.
45 degrees didn’t used to mean
what it does today.
45 degrees was significant!
45 degrees was important.

45 degrees was the melting point of semen.
45 degrees was a left angle.
45 degrees was the number of educational credentials Asimov had
– and I’ll bet you don’t even know the (future) history of Foundation,
do you?
Caesar’s ghost…

We didn’t wear coats at that temperature.
We didn’t wear shoes.
Back in the day,
45 degrees was something that people
understood
that they spoke of reverently
that they loved.

Kids today don’t understand 45 degrees
not like they should
not like they did
and that
I think
Is most what’s wrong with your generation,
thanks for asking.
