    Welp. Considering it does none of those three things, maybe it’s time for them to go the way of the buggy whip

          Interesting; here in Alberta a buggy whip is a flexible (fibreglass, at least mine is) flagpole for the back of your truck.

            Hmm, I’m guessing that buggy whips were more like a flexible pole rather than the stereotypical Indiana Jones whip.

            So a thin flexible pole would make sense.

            Like when you’d whack your little brother with a long bendy stick when you were kids.

        Just an example of something outdated that’s not needed anymore
