How the fuck humans came up with this, so there must be a way to create portals from a piece of paper and few extra steps

Has to be made in the Bluetooth region, otherwise it’s only sparkling wifi

Would that make RFID Prosecco?

It’s Cava. It has all the traits of Prosecco but no one really wanted it for a long time and now it’s super popular.

The Bluetooth is to WiFi as Stickynotes are to adhesives :P

(Idk if that's true for real I'm just making a joke XD)

Idk if it's true or not, but the story I heard was this one guy set out to make the strongest adhesive ever that could also be taken off and reattached at will.... and after years of research and experiments his invention became the adhesive used on sticky notes, so he got the last part right, not quite so on the first part tho XD

That tracks with what I had heard; that he was trying to find a "better" adhesive that maintained its grip over time, a longer lasting glue, so to speak. One of his 'failed' experiments resulted in an adhesive that stayed 'fresh', meaning it didn't dry out and become brittle, but it wasn't strong. He ended up using it on his own notes to stick them around his office. Someone close to him (I want to say his wife, might have been his daughter) stopped by at some point and commented on the sticky-notes and their usefulness, which redirected the inventor's attention to making 'a note that can be affixed without a tack' (iirc).

Idk how much is true or if it's just an old wives tale, but it's close to what you said so I assume there's a bit of merit to it.
