This feels like a really stupid question but I genuinely don't know. Gliders existed before powered airplanes, right? So people would probably could have made paper airplanes for fun prior to the Wright Brothers, but I have no idea and just had this as a weird shower thought and was curious about it now.

  Wait the Wright Brothers definitely invented the airplane before 1964 lmao
  
  There were planes in WW1 and they were relatively new, so I wanna say like, 1910 for their invention?
  
  Edit: I looked it up and Kitty Hawk was in 1903

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
