I know that Steampunk fantasy was all the rage a few years back, and an aesthetic is just that, an aesthetic. But like, this is why I was shaking my head sadly at you guys because this is absolutely what a world of "kooky rich inventors building fantastic contraptions and pretending to do science around made up words" looks like - self driving cars that mow people down, tin can submarines that kill everyone on board, and gobs and gobs of complicated useless crap you don't need cause you can just manually squeeze the juice out of the bag. They romanticized it because our society pretty much exists to make rich people feel good about themselves while making you feel intimidated enough not to make bread from their boiled bones after you storm the palace granary.
