I think of this:

I had a doozy today. I read [Childhood treats rediscovered](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/childhood-treats-rediscovered/1016565) as Childhood THREATS rediscovered, and though it was about the recent resurgence of Measles and the like due to trained vaccine rejection.
I was wondering why it was in the Cafe until I rubbed my eyes and removed the doom-filters.

That (if the actual title) would have been a _misinterpreted_ one for me, as in your former bullies show up as your new co-workers or in-laws or something.

Well, dentists don’t wear those 1940s-style white tunics anymore, drool bibs have gotten snappier and sometimes there’s real art on the walls instead of dogs playing poker.

At my dentist, there are flat screens in every room switching between several generic stock photos of landscapes, similar like the Windows log in screen. The photos haven’t changed in a decade, and I’d rather watch dogs playing poker.
