I've worked in America for 20 years and I never knew about this either. I just thought that was a regular cardboard box, and it never occurred to me the archive icon is trying to depict such a thing. I always just thought it was an ugly file folder or something.

I never had to use such a box in real life.

Okay but that type of box was all over the national and global news this year: https://www.google.com/search?&q=trump+bathroom+documents&tb...


I pretty actively try to stay away from orange man escapades. I'm sure we'll get more than enough when he's president / evil dictator for life again /sigh


There's those types of boxes everywhere! Whether it's chinatown[1], a garage[2], or a secured area in Maralago.

But it seems a bit too off-topic for this thread, dunnit?


I can't wait to learn what you think this thread is about.
