Your brain just skips over mistakes a lot of the time. I once got a run of CDs done and six of us (three band members, two management team, and the printing company designer) independently checked the liner notes and tagged it as good for print - when the box of physicals turned up there was a massive glaring typo in the first sentence of the text that we'd all ignored. :shrug:

That happens surprisingly often. Aerosmith's first LP listed one of their songs as Walkin' The Dig on the back cover

it's has something to do with how language partially works too. we don't really retain all the information in a sentence, we tend to only pay attention to parts of things, written or spoken. this is why languages developed ways of emphasizing the important bits so we know to pay attention via word order, tone, particles, articles, etc.

This was absolutely fortunate for them because the original song name was incredibly racist.

Wow. That went under fast.

I just saw a meme yesterday that I think was intended to be praising trucks but it was two of some model of maybe Ford truck, same color, same model, 30 years apart, and the new one is literally twice the size.

Big trucks are really stupid.

My dad has something on par with the newer one, and man, I think the back seat is bigger and roomier than any seat I've used in a van or SUV. He actually gets some use out of the truck hauling and towing stuff, so it's not a complete waste, but it really does feel way too big overall. I tried driving it once and it felt like a bus, that was no fun.

I just love that the last one has the same bed length as the one before but pads out the thickness of the gate to make it look bigger

I wish they'd bring back those old small toyota and nissan pickups, those things were great and they ran for loving ever.

My first car was my grandpa's 1988 GMC S-15. It had an extended cab, which meant it had two fold out jumpseats you could uncomfortably cram yourself into behind the two front bucket seats.

This seems like a bit of a bullshit comparison though, since the newer ones go from extended cab to full-on crew cab which obviously will eat up bed space in exchange for having interior storage or a full rear seat. You can still buy a single cab version and get more bed space. Probably still less than the oldest one honestly, but it's still not going to be as dramatic of a reduction as depicted here.
