@garbados “For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

A display known as "valeting the car" is popular among self-possessed and prideful automata: in response to a rude gesture or shout, one simply chases down the offending car (given the relative power/weight ratios, this rarely takes longer than a second or two), lifts it out of traffic by its undercarriage, and carefully places it in the nearest unoccupied parking space before vanishing into the night.
this does not usually damage the vehicle, but does rather get the point across.

They used wood charcoal, broken pottery, bones, ashes, compost and other materials to create what settlers called "Terra preta." At first whites didn't credit the indigenous people with making this soil. They thought it was volcanos or brought in by river flooding. But it was the people, and they had been doing it since 450 BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta
