I'm curious why you call Key limes "real limes" when they're a cultivar? There are very few things we eat, if any, that's the og version

The Key lime cultivar is a citrus hybrid, Citrus micrantha × Citrus medica (a papeda-citron cross).

In the early 1990s the Internet was big news ... In the fall of 1990, there were just 313,000 computers on the Internet; by 1996, there were close to 10 million. The networking idea became politicized during the 1992 Clinton–Gore election campaign, where the rhetoric of the information highway captured the public imagination. On taking office in 1993, the new administration set in place a range of government initiatives for a National Information Infrastructure aimed at ensuring that all American citizens ultimately gain access to the new networks.[20]

From wiki - the internet has been around for awhile. The public Internet has not.

This is similar to gambling where you bet on with points with a half point. It's intended to keep people from having a draw.

I'm assuming this is a very specific "13 is okay but god help you if you go 14" situation.
