Small folding grocery carts that hold a couple full bags are available. If you need much more than that, a collapsible wagon will hold a whole shopping trip worth, and cost under $40.

I hate having to deal with the bum anti-theft wheel when pushing a shopping cart thru the store, but I admit I've seen people who take a cart home with them every week and just leave dozens of them there... can't ever be bothered to push even one of them back, so I guess making that bad behavior more of a hassle somehow is necessary.

Flexible drill bits are quite uncommon these days. First because modern brushless electric impacts are so short that it's easy to get into tight spaces that were formerly quite difficult with (much longer) electric drills. But more than that, you can just get a universal flexible extension bit holder that'll work with any size of hex drill bits you need to use. Though I'd say a right-angle drill adapter works a lot better in tight spots than a flexible one. With a flex, you have to use a drill smaller than the hole you need, because it flops around and enlarges the hole a bit, and quite a bit more effort to hold in place.
If you needed to do a lot of tight-spaces work, there are extra short, "stubby" impacts, as well as dedicated "right angle"/"close quarters" drills/impacts that'll make the job easier than using angle/swivel adapters.

Can't wait to see this trend take off... Large numbers of people going out to find wasp nests, knocking them down and bringing them into their homes. I just hope the full process is recorded, for everyone to enjoy.

Why did twist drill bits take over the world?
Historically, auger drills were the main type, as they removed more wood per turn, which matters a lot when you're cranking it around by hand...
Or how about spoon bits? They were once popular, and they still have a few niches in specialized woodworking.
And double-fluted bits? Like these. They cut when turned in either direction, most commonly found in push drills (which themselves are not commonly found at all, today).

I'm having a hard time understanding any of this.
Why wouldn't a person prefer to find the nearest barn, sneak into a garden shed, or construct a small shelter hidden in a wooded area?

Why wouldn't one be allowed to sleep at a 1c sit-up if they could manage it? What else would they do... read by the dim light and have a chat? I guess there's some value in being sheltered from the cold all night, and going out to sleep rough during the warmer daytime.

And while the 4c coffins sound tolerable... Why no bunks to double or triple the capacity, maybe lowering the price a bit?

"my grandmother [...] would drink highballs. Yeah. For those of you too young to know what a highball is, that's straight bourbon. And they drop a cherry in there like that's gonna break it up. She was great, man. You know what she'd do with the cherries? Feed 'em to the kids.

'Here you go, honey. You're gonna sleep good tonight, huh? Them teeth don't hurt when Nana's over, do they? They don't hurt no more.'

Merriam-Webster doesn't indicate any racist connotations to the word, and only the faintest hint there might be anything at all negative ("unorganized", "nomadic") about it:

horde noun ˈhȯrd 
1a : a political subdivision of central Asian nomads
1b : a people or tribe of nomadic life
2 : a large unorganized group of individuals : a teeming crowd or throng

Is that still a thing where you are? I haven't seen a single trick-or-treater knocking on doors in about a decade now. Apparently they are all going to organized (school?) events, due to the (completely false) myths of tainted candy.

"all the more reason to make sure your window screens are in good shape if you live in vampire bat territory. Vampire bats are scary"

I don't think you really need to encourage people to be afraid of "vampire bats." The name and their appearance pretty well takes care of it. You'd have to put some real effort into topping that name. Maybe "Dysentery-castration viper" or "Hemorrhoid-grave tarantula"
