The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.

    Maybe not directly on their TV set, but there are more than enough references to it in TV and film media that it’s still known almost universally.

    Everything from old beloved films to Modern period shows. Its literally an overused way to establish the narrative isnt taking place in the present.
