    Dunno if it is me, non-native English speaker, but it seems that very old can vary depending on context, while ancient barely changes on the context. And it seems few others could be divisive and a few green ticked ones repeat.

    Edit: ah, this is shitposting comm :@

      Mmm I’ve definitely heard ancient used similarly to very old. E.g mice with balls are ancient technology.
