QUANTUM SNARK

Pulley systems were invented because humans hate lifting and love shortcuts.

✗ FAKE
Pulleys are simple machines that change the direction of a force and, in combination, reduce the force needed to lift loads. They have been used since ancient times, and are attributed to inventors such as Archimedes in legend, but the true origin is unclear.
