"It's weird that in about ... 10-20 years, unless we have a giant fucking leap in the way we live, the answers to these aren't going to be as fun. I mean, yeah we can say things like 'delivery man' ("You mean a person had to bring you your deliveries, instead of an all-seeing drone-bot, Grandpa?") and maybe tradesmen, so plumbers and electricians ("You mean the robots didnt automatically arrive to unblock your pipes and reconnect your Wifi?"), but it's not in the same vein as 'literally we paid someone to go along the street and LIGHT ALL THE FUCKING STREET LAMPS with a goddamned lantern. (... I just realised I have no idea whether that ever happened in the Americas, as my only frame of reference for the Victorian Era is the UK/Europe. I presume so? I bet NY and San Fran looked lit with street lanterns, no pun intended). "

Pinsetters. Back before bowling alleys automatically set the pins for you, they had people (usually young children), setting the pins by hand. I recall reading a law years ago that allowed children to work at a younger age as a pinsetter (and a few other things), than most jobs.

Flight engineers. (Some older aircraft that still fly still have them, but the vast majority of commercial aircraft built after the 80s that I can think of all have flight computers that have replaced flight engineers).
