/r/anachronism is a subreddit dedicated to the irrelevance of the idea of 'time.' Who says Lincoln can't fight a raptor? That redcoats were involved in WWII? That the Legionnaires didn't only fight the Germanic tribes, but also the Nazis?

Just watching an episode of Shogun on FX which is set in 17th century feudal Japan. A character used the phrase to "make a scene", which did not come into use until the 19th century. Anybody else notice language anachronisms?
So, my apologies if this isn't appropriate content here - this is my first time here...
Having said that, I was just watching National Lampoon's "Vacation", and yeah, during a scene where Chevy Chase get's into an accident while driving the Family Truckster (the dessert crash scene), and an airbag goes off...
What's that all about? Airbags weren't required in cars until 1998 (https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/federal-legislation-makes-airbags-mandatory#:~:text=September%2001-,Federal%20legislation%20makes%20airbags%20mandatory,sides%20of%20the%20front%20seat.
Here’s an article that I wrote on anachronisms. Do give it a read :-)
