Jeff Bezos = Pill Gates
How Jeff Bezos (aka Pill Gates) rolling into the Pharma sector
“Bezos coming”
“And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”
Jeffrey Preston Bezos
Thank god for the Google Translate feature in Twitter.

It nailed this one:
Jeff Bezos' "Your margin is my opportunity" was mainstreamed on November 16th, 2012 from a Fortune article.

Coincidence? I think not.

Was not ready for this: 50% of Canadians live under the RED LINE Image
Ok, no i’m being told that 50% of Canadians live above the RED LINE.

Don’t know what to believe anymore:
Alright, this is getting absurd.

Someone just DM’d to say 100% of people who live in Canada live inside the BLUE LINES.

@JustinTrudeau, can we get clarification? Image

Found a great Reddit thread putting historical dates into perspective.

Some gems 🧵.

1/ A well travelled man could have met Socrates, Confucius and Buddha. (500-400 BC) Image
2/ "The moon landing was only 66 years after the first manned aircraft flight (1903-1969). Within a lifetime, mankind went from not having flight technology to sending men 239,000 miles from the Earth."

(Orville Wright & Neil Armstrong were both alive at the same time for 8yrs) ImageImage
3/ On a related note...Cleopatra (b. 69 BC) lived closer in time to the moon landing (1969) than the construction of the pyramids (~2600 BC) Image

Went down a rabbit hole looking for cross-industry innovations (AKA one industry borrowing from another).

Found some good ones 👇👇

1/ James Dyson created the Dyson vacuum design after seeing how sawmills use cyclone force to eject sawdust.
2/ The OG example: Henry Ford's car assembly line borrowed innovations from 3 industries:

• Watch (interchangeable parts)
• Canning (continuous flow manufacturing)
• Meatpacking (Ford reversed the "disassembly" part of the meatpacking process - AKA chopping up cows)
3/ Baby incubator

In late 1800s, French doctor Etienne Tarnier was looking for a solution to save babies born prematurely.

On a visit to the Paris zoo, he saw poultry incubators and borrowed that innovation to make a baby incubator.

Found an incredible Reddit thread, "What's a rule that was implemented somewhere that massively backfired?"

Here are the best ones 🧵

1/ Alcohol bans at college football games led to increased intoxication problems b/c fans were getting really drunk before entering the stadium.
2/ When @dominos said all pizzas would be delivered in 30 minutes or less OR your pizza was FREE.

The delivery drivers kept getting into car accidents to get your pizza to you on time, so it wouldn’t come out of their pay check.

The promotion didn't last too long. Image
3/ "English law in Wales set the death penalty for stealing a sheep. Welshmen caught stealing sheep would claim to be making love to them.

They would get a lesser penalty for beastiality. The consequence of this is Welshmen gained a reputation as 'sheep shaggers'." 🐑
