Heavens to Nosferatu!
Chiroptophobia - fear of bats

Lived in a couple of old houses with the occasional bat in the living room at odark thirty. Dog would use the back of the couch as a springboard to try and catch them in the air. Woke up more than once to crashing furniture/lamps.

Yea I always remembered seeing them in living room tucked in a spot on wall. Going what is that,ohh shit bat.
 
and here I thought my electric motor for a science fair project was pretty cool...

 
Remember when EVERY school classroom had that big analog clock at the front of the room usually behind teacher's desk? The one you looked at every 3 minutes waiting, hoping, praying (whoops my bad) for the bell to ring?... What's next, they won't be able to write in cursive..oh wait a minute..
FWIW, I still have to have a analog wristwatch, and have analog clocks around the house. It justs computes faster with me if that makes sense. If I see a time digitally, my mind switches that image to analog, crazy, huh?

I heard some older teens at the doctor's office with a parent or guardian arguing about whether the time on the clock was correct, or an hour ahead. They didn't know how the hour hand worked... They were at least 16 :/
I think even if they were taught it way back when in first grade or whatever, the number of digital clocks they read is so much higher that the neurons for analog clocks stop firing...
 
We must be from a different planet. My kids have or are learning reading and writing in cursive and analog clocks.
My nephews and niece's didn't here remember I was surprised hearing. I even saw something on news saying something about it. Guess depends

Appears to making a comeback but it looks like it's up to the individual state and/or school district. I would think keyboarding skills would be a requirement too?

"resurgence is driven by renewed interest in its cognitive benefits, such as improved language and memory skills, and the practical need for reading cursive to understand historical documents and personal communication. Common Core (2010) The Common Core standards didn’t include cursive in the recommended curriculum, and instruction on this form of penmanship largely waned.".
