The Tiny Wire Around Manhattan
- Kaibeezy 6y agoInteresting topic. Unwatchable video, though. Is that really how it's necessary to explain things to people these days? The wire is called an "eruv". There are many articles about it that won't make you feel like you have been handcuffed to a tiny desk in a kindergarten. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/eruv-manhattan-invisible-wire-jewish-symbolic-religious-home https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/eruv-manhattan-invisib... More than 200 cities around the world are partially encircled by an eruv. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/721551785/a-fishing-line-encircles-manhattan-protecting-sanctity-of-sabbath https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/721551785/a-fishing-line-enci...

Yep, as someone in their mid 50's I find this style of narration and the visuals utterly annoying and condescending. Sadly it's all the rage with all the attention deficit kids. I'm clearly not their audience.
