The "stone" with the words in it has a suspiciously uniform appearance. I wonder whether it might be concrete and the letters pressed into it while wet, in which case basically none of it is true.

It’s stone, not concrete. Likely sandblasted. They use silicone stencils that resist the abrasive particles. It’s how gravestones and other markers are made commonly.

Neat, thanks for explaining!

Yes.

Edit: I misread the comment I replied to as “But did you write that comment?” but it appears they said “How did you write that comment?”

I leave you with this, my final gift:

Handwritten sign above a credit card reader that apparently says “Penis broken, please use finger” It should say ‘Pen is’, but the space is too small to visually separate the letters into different words.
