TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

My parents didn't grow up with shops where you could rent video tapes. My kids won't grow up with shops where you can rent video tapes. It was such a short lived thing and it permeated every facet of our culture.
