Things that make you cringe everytime you hear it.
I'll go first.
"The Internet was designed to survive a nuclear war."
No, it absolutely was not. And even if it was, any hope of survivabiluty in the face of widespread destruction died with mass commercialization of the network.
Damn thing can't handle individual backhoes, what makes you think it will handle thermonuclear weapons?
Don't even get me started on our overreliance on just a few cloud providers.

Donkey Rides on the Beach, Isaac Israels, c. 1890 - c. 1901
In contrast to Hague School painters, Isaac Israels depicted the carefree, touristic aspect of the seaside resort of Scheveningen. He often used models for these scenes – in this case, his acquaintances Suze Pont, Agatha Pauw and her little sister. Israels worked rapidly: ‘Never work too much, no more than two hours at a stretch, do not fuss too long, otherwise you will lose your freshness.’
