it occurs to me that someone saying they are "waiting by their phone" is now an anachronism because people aren't normally away from their phone anymore

Sometimes I like to sit around and think of how modern racism is gamers boycotting the historical accuracy of a Black samurai who really existed in a game series about a fictional lineage of alien-empowered people fighting a secret war against the illuminati with anachronistic super tech.

The funniest complaint I ever heard about the LOTR movies was that, "meat's back on the menu" is anachronistic because ancient orcs didn't say "menu."
