I inherited my great-grandmas recipe book that calls for "50 pence [pfennig] worth of almonds". I spent a whole afternoon researching how much almonds you could by in 1952 post-war…

It might be worth noting that humans also struggle with keeping up a coherent world model over time. Luckily, we don’t have to; we externalize a lot of our representations. When sh…
