Of the erogenous zones, breasts are the ones you can see most often. It may be different in the US, but where I grew up, topless sunbathing is quite a thing and I even saw a lot of boobs in shower soap commercials at 6pm on public TV as a kid. When my kids were babies, my (now ex-) wife would also just nurse them on a park bench - which also I isn’t unusual.
Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.

In case of a library I’d want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.
One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.
Of course, I’d also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.
Plugs are for beginners. I once managd to step on a Motorola 68020 processor which embedded its pins intomy foot and drew blood.
Not specifically for a rock, but that’s “roughly” how physical modeling synthesiers work for instruments.
Also there’s a youtube channel of a guy who builds an engine simulator to reproduce the sounds of 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines by applying fluid dynamic simulation of the gas flows in an engine.
It COULD conceivably be built for rock dropping as well, but I assume that’s not a thing people have yet put effort in.
Edit:
Wait, has something changed in the speed an atomic war would take place in the last 40 years? When I was a teenager in the 80s I could be vaporized from one moment to the next.
We had fucking autobahns and bridges mined with tactical nukes so they could be blown up in order to stop a conventional army.
Maybe fatalism is what you get being a teenager in the 80s living right next to the Iron Curtain.
