IIRC even a passage of a novel by Giovanni Verga portrays Sicilian farmers discussing how telegraph wires absorb rain

I studied history (and by that I mean I liked to watch documentaries) and as a kid I saw educational cartoons and Anime (yes anime) that showed how there was a huge backlash against telephone and telegraphy when they first came out. With farmers blaming telegraph wire for destroying crops or crop diseases and they would sometimes even sabotage the wires and poles.
When I heard of the 5G bullshit that was literally what came to mind… it is incredible how eternal this form of ignorance is.

Which anime? I don’t recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I’d enjoy

It was when I was growing up in the Middle East. They aired all manner of anime and mixed Japanese media (part live action part anime). That one I was thinking about was also Arabic dubbed and I dont recall the title.

i don’t know what that’s called with animation, but one of my friends had a little stop motion studio for a while and we called that “go motion” when we’d mix live action with stop motion.

It wasnt stop motion. They had a live action segment with a girl and a puppet or costumed character (my memory is super hazy. It was a late 80s, early 90s thing and I was a little kid) and when they spoke about what they wanted to show they would do some little gesture and short song and then it would go to the anime segment.
