Using AI slop results for memes.
Quick Google shows a patent for mass production of glass doorknobs in 1826. Which means non glass doorknobs existed earlier.

Figured it was a patent date as “the invention date”
Humans definitely didn’t put things to grab on their doors before that yeah

Yeah, AI took the first patent it happened to find and said it was “first” despite there being earlier patents and earlier documentation about door knobs.
