Today at lunch, we travelled back in time to talk about word processors and rotary phones, briefly visit the present to see what the snake people are up to, and venture into the future for some goat men and lab-grown jackets.

• Remember word processors? I don't. Thanks to patient coworkers for explaining these to the 20-somethings in the office. [Wikipedia]
• Every generation has garbage people, and they get all the attention. Like these dudes who use dating & hook-up apps to sleep with as many women as possible. [Vanity Fair]
• This f****ing man tried to live like a f****ing goat. [Vice]
• Some mad-scientist type decided to grow a leather jacket in a lab, although the result is a little small. [New Scientist]
