I have read articles, for years now, that the Amish have tried accepting new technology into their lives, but that their understanding of its workings have led to horrible results.

An Tankstellen sind schon die tollsten Dinge passiert wie zum Beispiel die Fahrerin eines Austin Mini-Coopers, der erst nach ca. 90 Litern aufgefallen ist, dass sie den Tankstutzen nicht ordnungsgemäß in den Tankdeckel, sondern in eine andere Öffnung an der Seite hineingesteckt hatte... - Dinge, die das Leben schreibt.

To say the least, that'll give you gas, but that's not how you get gas. Well, paradoxes & Amish do go hand-in-hand, so..

There is also a theory that they live in near a time portal and are actually just people of the past centuries who merged into our own. At a Greyhound station, an Amish man really did ask me how to use a microwave.

There are different sorts of Amish, and depending on the sect they can have pneumatic tyres and washing machines.

“‘T’is a cooling and most refreshing beverage, English.”

They'll survive, so long as they can skip cigs, and get straight on to vaping...
