Ha! For sure, "millions of big metal blocks on wheels propelled by explosions... wow how did they even survive".

This article brought to my mind the exploding Android phones from a couple years back as something I'm certain will be looked at in the same way

Things like this always make me wonder what kinds of things we're doing now which people will look back on as ridiculous and dangerous like we are now with ragwort-killer coated trousers which explode

EDIT: thank you Gwaydms for catching that!
