I spent like a month obsessing over the Black Death. There was way less readily available and searchable information about how it spread in my part of the world (Levant, Middle East), even though it pops up around different eras to just pile misery on top of conflicts. So I had to really look into stuff to learn about it, and put some effort in, because almost all the neatly compiled info was about Europe.

That was at the tail end of 2019. Cool cool cool

I’m so vehemently opposed to using their euphemism for it. “Age verification” is just the marketing name for it, it’s identity verification.
