17 Times People Leveled Up Basic Things Into Real Gems

Robert Whitman-Byrne

Anyone who’s grown up with video games knows that a lot of them come with a structural hierarchy of progress. You find the tomb, you defeat the monster, you collect the loot and maybe the clue to the next part of the journey, and then you move on to the next level. It’s a simple, graspable way to assess where you are in contrast with where you need to be.
People who write about video games have naturally used level up as a phrasal verb for advancing from one level of a game to the next:
As a noun, of course, level refers to a position in a scale or rank. The verb already has several meanings in English, most of them relating to the idea of making something level—that is, with a flat or even surface, as in using a hoe to level a garden or an earthquake leveling a building—or horizontal, as in leveling a gun at a target. When a p (such as an unemployment rate) levels out, it remains steady over a period of time.
Before, whenever we spoke of “leveling up,” it usually meant to increase or improve it to meet the level of something else:
This in turn could lower teachers' expectations and in the longer term lead to levelling down as opposed to levelling up.— Barbara MacGilchrist, in Primary Education: Assessing and Planning Learning, 1996
Thomas W. Stewart improved a basic mop by turning it into a clamping mechanism that could squeeze water out of it with a lever to make people's lives easier. It is now a necessary equipment for almost every home. You never know how far your advancements can go or whether they will prove helpful in the future.
Some situations are too risky to coexist. However, it's frequently impossible to determine why they were brought to our planet. And we are all left asking the same question: "Why?"
We have learned a few different tactics that demonstrate how not everything will make sense or make sense right now.
