There's a story of someone asking her mom why she cuts the ends off the roast, and she answers, "I'm not sure, that's how my mom did it", so they go to her mom and she answered something similar, so they go to the great grandma and she answers, "Because the oven was too small so I had to cut the ends off so it would fit."
How often do we just do things because it's what we've seen but without really knowing why, or even questioning why?
This is something I like about Nostr, because people here are way more likely to ask "Why".
