It's crazy how in order to make chain mail in the middle ages they had to smelt iron, draw it into wire, bend and cut it into tiny rings, link them, and hammer them together by hand and it took months of labor so only the richest people could afford it, and now we have a massive industrial complex that could make each and every human on earth a full body suit of chain mail in less than a week but we just don't because we don't want to.
