    The can opener was invented 30 years after the can.

      Well, wouldn’t it be weird if it was the other way around?

      “Yooo, check this out, I made a new invention, it’s called a can opener!”
      What does it do?
      “idk”

        The elevator shaft was invented before the elevator. Tom Scott made a video about that

        Surely you understand that the remarkable part is the duration between the inventions, not the chronological order.
